Internet TV - but only if you risk it

Internet TV - but only if you risk it 09/08/2004 06:44 AM
A major Finnish TV channel: MTV3 has launched a new "Nett i-TV" service, which "allows you to watch the programs whenever you want".

Nope. Apparently, I'm not a part of the "you". (And neither are others)

You see, they require Windows Media Player 9+, Internet Explorer, and Windows. I can understand the requirement for WMP (you gotta choose a codec), but IE? The buggiest and shittiest of all the current browsers? The official answer is "everybody uses Windows and IE, therefore we only support Windows and IE". Hell, I have IE and WMP 9 installed on my Mac. I have WMV codecs on my Linux box. Why am I excluded?

This is just so completely stupid. In this day and age, there is NO reason whatsoever to make a web site that is IE only. There are three possible explanations to this, none of them actually too flattering to MTV3:

1. There is a secret deal between MS and MTV3 that alternative operating systems may not be supported (unlikely, but fun theory)
2. A bunch of sorry, no-good, lazy, crappy coders working for a shady garage firm somewhere have managed to convince a completely clueless management that this is the only way. Any coder worth his paycheck should be able to produce standards-compliant web pages and streamed video. (likely)
3. A designer created something that the coders found impossible to implement in a given schedule, except via resorting to hacks. They were too spineless to suggest another alternative, or were overruled by a clueless management. (happens all the time)

Come on - it's just a simple web site that contains program listings and then you click on them to get streamed video. IT'S NOT REALLY THAT HARD TO DO RIGHT!

OK, so the majority uses still Windows and IE. Fine. But does it not mean a shit to anyone that the most prominent and technically savvy people who actually do know what they're doing are switching en masse? And it's not only a geek thing: twenty per cent (20%) of the people reading this weblog are already using Firefox. And there are people switching who actually do matter. Even some people within Microsoft don't use IE. The geeks are not using IE because they know better. Others are using it because Firefox is just so nice. Nobody wants their machines to be infested with spyware and other crap.

And frankly, no web site I've ever seen that required the use of IE and Windows was really any good. Cluelessness shows.

*sigh*

Risk by Proxy

Risk by Proxy 03/22/2005 04:58 PM

As part of my fraud detection work, I've been looking at anonymous network proxies (aka anonymizers) as a source of risk.  What is a proxy?  A proxy is, in essence, a man-in-the-middle (MITM).  If the MITM is a bad guy, then you've just invited a wolf in sheep's clothing into your house.

While there are many MITM attacks possible, including SSL certificate spoofing, most lucrative attacks are the ones that keeps the door open.  For example, a proxy can inject virus into any executables users download.  Once they are in, they can start harvesting passwords through keylogging or inject bogus certificates to monitor SSL traffic.

Come to think of it, this is a great way to deliver monitoring software into hacker's desktops.

Welcome to Your Disease Risk, the source on prevention. If you were looking for Your Cancer Risk, don’t worry. You’re in the right place. We’ve simply expanded. Now, in addition to cancer, you can find out your risk of four other important diseases and, as always, get personalized tips for preventing them. Your Disease Risk is an educational website developed by the Harvard Center for Cancer Prevention. Based at the Harvard School of Public Health, the Center promotes prevention as the primary approach to controlling cancer and other chronic diseases.

The Your Disease Risk site began as the Harvard Cancer Risk Index, a pen and paper cancer risk assessment tool first put together in the mid 1990’s by the Risk Index Working Group at Harvard University. In 1999, the Risk Index was adapted to the Web as Your Cancer Risk. Then, to give even greater emphasis to the importance of healthy behaviors, Your Cancer Risk was expanded to include assessments for heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and osteoporosis. The expanded site was renamed Your Disease Risk and offers the follows risks assessments online:

What's Your Cancer Risk?
What's Your Diabetes Risk?
What's Your Heart Disease Risk?
What's Your Osteoporosis Risk?
What's Your Stroke Risk?

This will be added to Healthcare Resources 2004-05 Internet MiniGuide.

Hurricane Risk for New Orleans

Hurricane Risk for New Orleans 09/14/2004 10:50 AM
Hurricane Risk for New Orleans: "if that Category Five Hurricane comes to New Orleans, 50,000 people could lose their lives. Now that is significantly larger than any estimates that we would have of individuals who might lose their lives from a terrorist attack. When you start to do that kind of calculus - and it's horrendous that you have to do that kind of calculus - it appears to those of us in emergency management, that the risk is much more real and much more significant, when you talk about hurricanes. I don't know that anybody, though, psychologically, has come to grip with that: that the French Quarter of New Orleans could be gone." (Nb. this excerpt from a fascinating 2002 American RadioWorks documentary does not refer specifically to Ivan.)
