Town Sold On eBay Finally Sold For
Real... But Not On eBay

Town Sold On eBay Finally Sold For
Real... But Not On eBay 05/21/2004 02:35 AM
Back in 2002 there was a tremendous amount of hype when Bridgeville, the small (mostly deserted) California town was put up for sale on eBay. It eventually sold in an auction for $1.8 million - and got a tremendous amount of press attention. The only problem: the $1.8 million bid was a hoax. A whole year went by and the owners of the "town" sheepishly admitted that the buyer (and his money) never showed up. Now, however, the town has been sold again - but not on eBay, and back down at its original asking price of $700,000. Even with the failure of the actual sale to go through, though, people still remember that you can "sell a town on eBay," contributing to the use of eBay as a PR platform beyond just its ability to match buyers and sellers.

Microsoft 01/08/2004 07:32 PM
From the 2004 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Microsoft today announced its Digital Image Suite 9 and Encarta Reference Library 2004 are now backed by Good Housekeeping's Seal. The Good Housekeeping Seal is one of the most recognized and trusted consumer insignias in the United States and has been granted to high-quality products for nearly 100 years. According to Good Housekeeping, Microsoft is a pioneer in exceeding consumers' expectations for technology products. Today's announcement marks the first time educational and digital imaging consumer software have earned the Good Housekeeping Seal. In 2002, MSN earned the Seal's backing, the first Internet software to receive the recognition.

We Are All Security Consumers

We Are All Security Consumers 05/04/2004 12:18 PM
Bruce Schneier says:

This essay of mine argues that the correct way to evaluate security countermeasures is as consumers: is the security you're getting worth what you're giving up to get it.

From the essay: The invasion of Iraq, for example, is presented as an important move for national security. It may be true, but it's only half of the argument. Invading Iraq has cost the United States enormously. The monetary bill is more than $100 billion, and the cost is still rising. The cost in American lives is more than 600, and the number is still rising. The cost in world opinion is considerable. There's a question that needs to be addressed: "Was this the best way to spend all of that? As security consumers, did we get the most security we could have for that $100 billion, those lives, and those other things?"

HTTP for syndication consumers 04/09/2004 03:54 PM
It seems to me that there is a real need for a one stop shop for the information necessary to understand the 'how' behind syndicating, archiving and editing episodic web sites.  Specs are good, but they only tend to cover what is not covered by other specifications.  Blogs and mailing lists often provide a much needed missing context for the information, but the discussions found there are often inconclusive and it is virtually impossible to determine if the decisions made have been superseded. Here's a first installment.

Turning consumers into producers

Turning consumers into producers 01/16/2004 11:27 AM
The final scan of my RSS feeds, last night, pulled in an item from Doc Searls who said that he was on live radio at The Linux Show. (Doc's item also mentions the RS S Winterfest Webcast a week from today. I'll be there; the complete list of participants is he re.) When I clicked through to The Linux Show's stream, I heard Doc say some things about the recent Macworld and CES shows that really hit home -- so much so that I wanted to hear them again. I reached for the RealPlayer's slider, but it was unresponsive. Doc wasn't kidding, he really was coming live from that radio show. His announcement of that fact made it from his computer to his blog to my aggregator in time for me to catch the live stream. Just another one of the daily miracles that I can't yet bring myself to take for granted. ...

Kevin Salwen points to Starbucks' report on how corporately responsible it is. And, while I certainly would rather work for a company that cares enough to issue such a report than the egregiously selfish ad agency Kevin points to, the Starbucks report does raise a question: Who do you trust any more? So, Starbucks does up a lovely color brochure explaining just how good a world citizen it is. Kudos for at least pretending to care. But how much of the report is BS? ...

Using Memory Errors to Attack a Virtual Machine

We present an experimental study showing that soft memory errors can lead to serious security vulnerabilities in Java and .NET virtual machines, or in any system that relies on type-checking of untrusted programs as a protection mechanism. Our attack works by sending to the JVM a Java program that is designed so that almost any memory error in its address space will allow it to take control of the JVM. -- Sudhakar Govindavajhala, Andrew W. Appel

I've heard that it was possible to hack smartcards and similar devices before by tampering with them, but I've never understood how it was done until now. Apparently some security experts claim to have been aware of this technique for many years.

Offshoring: Companies guarding 'secret sauce': Interesting situation: U.S. companies are willing to send grunt IT work overseas, but not the intellectual property they worked so hard to develop. It seems that they don't trust overseas companies to keep their intellectual property safe.

Therein lies the dilemma for many technology executives confronting the issue of offshore outsourcing: U.S. companies are increasingly turning to other countries to reduce labor costs, but they must decide how far they can go without risking security breaches, communication lapses or operational breakdowns, when moving work thousands of miles away overseas.

I still agree with how this guy handled the "offshore problem." He figued out how much he would save by sending work offshore, then added back how much it was worth to him to have someone on-site. He then advertised a position at this (much less than market) rate. He was deluged with applications.
