The iPod may be popular, but also poses such a major security risk for businesses, that enterprises should seriously consider banning the iPod and other portable storage devices, according to a study by research firm Gartner Inc. The devices, using a Universal Serial Bus (USB) or FireWire (IEEE 1394), present risks to businesses on several fronts: from introducing malicious code into a corporate network, to being used to steal corporate data, the Stamford, Conn.-based research company said in its report "How to Tackle the Threat From Portable Storage Devices," published Friday.

Forget Harm, Mobile Phones Help Kids

Forget Harm, Mobile Phones Help Kids
Think Clearly? 09/23/2004 03:21 AM
Every month or so, yet another study comes out that says mobile phone radiation either does, or does not, cause some sort of bodily harm, often in the form of cancer. Each study is trumpeted by the press as the definitive study on the subject, only to have that view completely turned around a month later. That's why we tend not to write about those sorts of studies any more (and, yes, there was one earlier this week). However, the head of the PTA in the UK is now claiming that mobile phones help kids think clearly. He's quoted as saying: "From a perspective of pupil performance, it can enhance things, because that heating effect actually improves the neuron transfers between neural pathways, and therefore your thinking ability goes up." This, of course, seems to go well beyond what any study has -- though, the guy in question claims a nameless British scientist told him this, so, obviously, it must be true.

Too Much Focus On Camera Phones

Too Much Focus On Camera Phones 01/16/2004 01:03 PM
There's been all this fear-mongering about the dangers of people using mobile phones to take pictures of people without their knowledge, so the second someone is actually caught trying to do so, the press turns it into a story worth covering. The point here, though, shouldn't be to focus on the fact that this school crossing guard/playground supervisor was trying to take pictures of these students with a camera phone, but the fact that he was in the girls bathroom at all. It should be obvious to just about anyone that a male adult does not belong in an elementary school girl's bathroom. Furthermore, by this point, anyone with half a brain should be suspicious if someone has pulled out a camera phone in a public restroom. It certainly sounds like that was the case here. The guy seems to have been caught pretty quickly. While reaction to this story is likely to be more calls for banning camera phones - that's the wrong response. Clearly, the normal methods worked here. People saw right away that this guy was doing something wrong, and he was apprehended.

Camera Phones As Bar Code Scanners

Camera Phones As Bar Code Scanners 01/19/2004 03:04 PM
Considering that we were just talking about the fact that the nice things about camera phones isn't that they're cameras, but the fact that they let you do something different, here's the perfect article to go along with that. There are a number of new applications coming out that let users take photos of product barcodes - and automatically get more information about the product. The info can include anything from detailed info to reviews to coupons to offers at other merchants. This is exactly the type of thing that you can't do with a regular camera that a camera phone lets you do. It's not a replacement for a camera - it's adding new capabilities that open up new possibilities.

Missing The Point On Camera Phones

Missing The Point On Camera Phones 01/19/2004 05:05 AM
Sometimes you want to sit down folks and have them read (once again) Clayton Christensen's research on how disruptive technologies work. What's amazing is that, despite the popularity of his work, those who are facing the challenge of a disruptive technology never seem to notice it until it's too late. That's exactly what's happening with camera phones, and it almost makes the following article comical, as various people who have a vested interest in more traditional types of photography point out the weakness of camera phones. That, of course, isn't the point. Of course camera phones aren't as good for taking pictures. Camera phones aren't designed right now as a replacement for cameras. They're not competing with cameras. They're offering an alternative - and that alternative leads to new and different uses. People who use a camera phone don't take the same types of pictures that a normal camera user takes. That's not what they're for. However, as the quality does get better, there is going to be an increasing segment of the population who realizes that camera phones certainly serve the needs that they used to use a regular "snapshot" camera for. Already the quality of new camera phones is getting to be pretty good, and it's not like camera phone makers have hit their limits yet.

Legal Ramifications Of Camera Phones

Legal Ramifications Of Camera Phones 11/06/2003 09:37 PM
People left and right have been over reacting to camera phones, but it does raise some legal issues - specifically about the rights of those who are being photographed. Where I'm confused, though, is how come existing law doesn't already cover this? If you're in a public place and have no expectation of privacy, I'm not sure how there's an issue. If you're in a private place, it's a different story - but is still covered by existing law. The article also mentions a law saying that if you're in a federal areas (government buildings, national parks) and someone takes a photo of you in "sensitive or compromising states", they can't disseminate those photos. I'm curious why that is. If you're on such federal property, why are you going to be in "sensitive or compromising states?" Anyway, as someone else in the article points out, this is mostly just people over reacting to new technology that they don't understand. After it percolates a bit, people will reach social norms and expectations. There were digital cameras before this, and once people realize that most phones have cameras as well, they'll be more conscious about what's happening around them.
