Faking Out Social Network Systems

Faking Out Social Network Systems 01/02/2004 06:19 PM
It's no secret that I'm not a huge fan of many of these social networking services. I have nothing against them, I just don't see how they'll ever make much money - because they're mostly based on two ideas that have trouble standing up to scrutiny: (a) people with rich social networks have no problem subsidizing those with weak networks and (b) you can easily define relationships in a binary way. However, I hadn't even considered other issues with social networks, such as the ability to use them for questionable purposes. For example, this article, which focuses on the security weaknesses of some of these sites briefly mentions a very sneaky use of such a system: virtual identity theft. For example, you create a profile at LinkedIn, pretending to work at a competitor. Then, you sit back and intercept any messages that are intended to go that competitor and use them for your own business instead. Of course, in this case it depends on others in your network not noting that you're lying, but the number of people I've heard of using Linked in who have made connections with people they barely know makes this completely plausible.

New research confirms the anaecdotal evidence of dogs accurately predicting epileptic seizures.

These dogs not only protect their charges from injuries, such as falling, but also seem to help kids deal with the daily struggle of epilepsy.

Nine of the 60 dogs in the study (15 per cent) were able to predict a seizure by licking, whimpering, or standing next to the child. These dogs were remarkably accurate - they predicted 80 per cent of seizures, with no false reports.

Have People Lost A Fighting Spirit
Against Spam Or Is Pew Faking The Data
Again? 04/11/2005 05:58 AM
According to the folks at Pew (who are suffering from a credi bility hit these days), people are growing accustomed to spam. It still annoys people to no end, but it's just become so common that people have given up thinking about it or fighting against it, and just think of it as an annoying fact of life, like traffic. Of course, it's not really clear that the data actually says this. Basically, this conclusion appears to be driven by two stats: (1) people trust email less but (2) they're not reading less email -- sort of. The study actually says 22% of people say they are spending less time on email because of spam, which is down from 29% the year before. However, it's a bit of a stretch to conclude from this one data point that people are resigned to spam. It could mean that email simply has become more important in other aspects. Or, it could mean that most of the people who were really annoyed by spam decreased their email usage last year instead of this year. The problem with the data is that you can't really compare the rate of change this year to last year, because (obviously) they're starting from a different position. Most importantly, this could just be an indication that spam filters have become more effective. It wouldn't be surprising to find out that many people have become resigned to spam -- but the data shown here doesn't actually seem to prove that at all.

Science Types Embed Anti-Seizure Device
In Skulls 08/20/2004 10:57 AM

Researchers at MCG Medical Center (First Hollywood, then Science!? That man is amazing!) are testing a new implantable device that is designed to stop seizures in patients whose fits - can you say fits? - are not otherwise well controlled by drugs. By pre-recording a patient's seizures, they establish a pattern that can be used to detect future seizures. Then they - and this is where it gets good - create a "form-fitting defect in the skull for the device ... and use tiny screws to hold it securely in place." Yes!

If the device recognizes an oncoming seizure it sends an electrical stimulus to stop it - unnoticed by patients.

Because even a single seizure every few months still prevents patients from safely doing everyday things like driving and cocaine, doctors have as their goal the complete and total prevention of all seizures. We'll find out how well they've done in two years, when the study is complete.
