AP - Real life is coarser than fiction — or at least the TV version of reality. The amount of crude language and sexual references on unscripted TV shows has increased markedly over the past few years, surpassing the levels on traditional comedies and dramas, according to a study released Friday by a conservative media watchdog, the Parents Television Council.

Five Innovative Firms Face The
Competition

Five Innovative Firms Face The
Competition 09/08/2004 12:32 PM
Innovators don't always survive. In fact, there are plenty of stories of innovative companies who blazed the path for others to follow, but who were trampled by all those fast followers. News.com has written up a piece looking at five such innovative companies, all of whom are now facing strong competition from established companies: Netflix, TiVo, PalmSource, RIM and Vonage. All five have their similarities. They all came first in their space, and they have customers who absolutely adore them. Now, they all have some pretty big competition. So, the question for all of these companies is whether they can adapt and stay ahead, or if they'll be historical footnotes. All have been adjusting, from Netflix and TiVo's rumor ed deal with each other, to the new smartphone RIM released, to Vonage's push to get bundled in with Linksys and Netgear equipment. Whether or not that's enough remains to be seen. It's both interesting (and encouraging) to note that, while all of these companies seem to have various patents, none seem to simply be relying solely on those patents as a competitive advantage, but rather are realizing they really do need to offer more innovative products. Given the trend lately of companies using patent licensing to impede, rather than promote, innovative uses of technology, this is a good thing. As we've said before, sustainable competitive advantage is the real myth of IT. Building up successive, fleeting competitive advantages is how a company really needs to maintain its position or grow long-term.

Spam problems undermining email usage:
Pew Trust study

Spam problems undermining email usage:
Pew Trust study 10/29/2003 12:11 AM

According to a new study from the Pew Internet and American Life Project , spam problems are growing as concerns for large numbers of email users.

In large numbers, Internet users report that they trust email less and some even use email less because of spam.

Female users tend to be more bothered by spam than males.

The erosion of trust in email, leading to quick deletes, suspicion of communication from strangers, fear of lost valid messages, and concealing one's email address, especially for personal email accounts away from work, might be the biggest effect of this "critical mass" of spam.

This study's results came as no surprise to many netizens. However, the research is recent and surveys a broad audience .

Generation April Fools Gags

Study Details Problems With Next
Generation April Fools Gags 04/01/2005 05:04 PM
There are what appears to be an even higher than normal set of ridiculous April Fool's gags out there today. While we do our best to avoid them (while chuckling here or there), the folks over at MobilePipeline deserve extra credit for not just coming up with an original April Fool's gag, but mocking the whole concept... all in one! Yes, it's a study on the steep growth curve associated with next generation April Fool's gags, predicting an ongoing "increase at a compounded annual rate of 22 percent through 2009." However, at the same time, they're noting that, with this rapid growth there has been a marked decline in quality -- which the industry needs to watch out for: "Vendors must embrace the fact that market penetration occurs not because of the quantity of the gags but because of the quality." Meanwhile, as all of these analysts like to do, they try to dig deeper into the meaning behind such a trend: "The dramatic increase in April Fools gags indicates a vibrant technology sector that, perhaps, has too much time on its hands." Indeed.

Hotels 01/19/2004 01:59 PM
Peter Lewis of Fortune went snooping with STSN's chief technology officer and found how easy it would be to break into computers of hotel guests: The story is a bit of a plug for STSN which touts the strong security mechanisms on networks it builds for hotels but the story demonstrates that hotels don't always employ the most rigid security on their Wi-Fi networks. The moral as always is protect yourself and make sure you know how secure your network is if you're planning to transmit anything sensitive....

Security

Problems With Current Thoughts On
Security 11/04/2003 02:28 PM
We've already had one story today suggesting that we need to think about computer security using a different metaphor, and consider it more similar to an airport (all access, but with security measures) than a fortress (not letting anyone in). Here are two more articles suggesting that the way we currently think about security issues is flawed. ZoneLab's CEO is complaining about the problems we have in being reactive to security issues rather than proactive. Of course, a lot of his argument can be read as a pitch for his company's security software. Meanwhile, a report from the RSA Security Conference suggests that hiring reformed malicious hackers isn't a very good idea. This isn't due to ethical issues, but the simple fact that most people breaking into computer systems really aren't that good. They say that breaking into a system requires many fewer skills than protecting a system. Furthermore, as someone points out, hiring someone with a criminal record for hacking means that they actually got caught doing something wrong - suggesting they weren't even very good at breaking in to systems.
