Microsoft Integrate Belgian eID into MSN

Microsoft Integrate Belgian eID into MSN
Messenger 02/01/2005 09:39 PM
Popular messenger resource <a href="http://www.mess.be">Mess.be</a> is reporting that Microsoft will soon announce plans to incorporate the Belgian <a href="http://www.neowin.net/images/news/logos/eid.jpg">eI D system</a> with MSN Messenger. An eID, or electronic ID, gives users a trustworthy way of identifying themselves online and can be used for a variety of means. The eID contains a electronic chip like modern credit cards, and is gradually replacing the existing ID card system in Belgium.

"The eID is gradually replacing traditional identity cards and by December 31st of 2009, all citizens over 12 who reside on the Belgian territory should own the chip-equipped card. Just like the classical ID, the eID contains your photo, surname and first names, sex, nationality, place and date of birth, signature, national number as well as the validity period of the card. But all this information (including the photo) will also be electronically stored."

It's not known exactly how the system will integrate with MSN Messenger; card readers, although the most obvious solution, seem somewhat impractical for home users. The news was announced today by Microsoft chairman Bill Gates who is on a trip to Belgium; Gates is slowly making his way to the European government where he will be meeting with EU representatives to talk about the ongoing case against Microsoft. The eID system in Belgium would appear to offer the kind of solution that Microsoft tried to introduce (but failed) with Passport; it offers a variety of features based around the central idea of a single "sign-on" mechanism.

Gate's hinted at the possibility of other countries adopting a similar system, yet it is not known specifically which. In the UK, where the government has plans to introduce a similar ID card system, the issue is strongly fought against by privacy advocates and is viewed in a poor light by the public.

Microsoft To Test MSN Messenger 7
Security 03/29/2005 06:33 AM
Microsoft is planning to block all hotlinks, Winks and Dynamic Display Pictures from being sent or received for a testing period starting today until Thursday 31st.

An MSN spokesperson creditted the additional testing to the recent virus attacks which attempted to use MSN Messenger as a way to spread harmful code. Over the 48 hour testing the period the MSN Messenger team will be testing different methods of blocking malicious code from being transferred on MSN Messenger.

The testing will only effect users using MSN Messenger 7 build 732 and any public builds are likely to be unaffected. Initially the MSN Messenger 7 beta was halted when users discovered a fatal flaw in the implementation of the new Winks feature.

MSN Messenger 7 is expected to be released in the coming months.

NASA Fired Will Carpenter for writing a short story. "Some kind of harrassment," they said, and since Texas is an at-will employment state, there's not much he can do about it. Is this story a valid means of self-expression or a harrassing glimpse into jilted anger? I've stumbled across more and more news stories about people being fired for writing, and students expelled for writing "dark poetry" in the classroom. How much do you have to keep secret from your classmates and co-workers?
