“Even the makers of Wi-Fi routers, access points and other gadgets privately say that as many as 80 percent of home users don’t bother to enable basic encryption or other protections against connection theft, eavesdropping and network invasion.”

Wi-fi is hot, but security is not. Most home users don't enable basic encryption or other protections against connection theft, eavesdropping and network invasion. Why? Set-up is easy, but activate security and the headaches begin.

Despite its name, Microsoft's $65 entry-level Basic Wireless keyboard and mouse combo goes beyond the basics. Slightly bigger and more rounded than a typical keyboard, Microsoft's white and gray model gives you a generous amount of programmable options. The customizable buttons sit along the top of the keyboard and are all within easy reach. In total, 25 buttons are up for grabs, including the 12 function buttons, the multimedia buttons (My Music, My Pictures, and so on), and even the Play/Pause, Stop, and Forward/Back buttons for your music tracks.

The relationship between IT security and privacy is getting tighter every day, and most of the attempts to violate security have as the ultimate goal to gather confidential information of some sort. In this digital age, our online avatars are becoming as important as their real-life counterparts. Moreover, there's no clear separation between the two datasets: Because we need to communicate some "physical" details (phone numbers, addresses, etc.) over the Internet, we're actually digitally propagating them to an unknown number of potential listeners.

My latest TheFeature article is about ways to make tiny batteries last for years.
At Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., researchers are trying to make a nuclear-powered battery with a very long life span. They've built prototype batteries that use a speck of nickel-63 (a radioactive isotope) to vibrate a tiny cantilever. The cantilever could be made from a piece of piezoelectric material, which could supply power to the sensor. Nickel-63 has a half-life of around 100 years, so it could provide power for several decades. Nukes make people nervous, but there's not enough radioactive material in the prototype to cause a mini-meltdown -- it's comparable to the amount found in a smoke detector. Still, researchers acknowledge that they have a perception problem to overcome.

Courts Freak Out That People Might

Courts Freak Out That People Might
Actually Use Their Wireless Networks
12/22/2004 01:16 AM
This story seems bizarre, but apparently a bunch of courts are somehow u nprepared for the fact that people might actually use the WiFi networks they installed. Most of the article focuses on a reporter sending out realtime updates for a court case via the WiFi, leading to this absolutely classic quote from someone from the court: "In my life, I would have never thought you could do any of that. When we put the wireless network in about two years ago, we didn't think anybody would even use it." Yeah, they just installed it for the hell of it. How dare someone actually use it! The rest of the article goes on to discuss just how "dangerous" this situation is, and how courts don't understand what a risk these networks are. It also refers to "WiFi" as the "informal" name for wireless networks -- when it's actually very much the formal, certified name for them.
