The Internet can be a dangerous place, with every e-mail message a potential carrier of viruses, Trojan horses or come-ons from phishers - thieves hoping to trick you into giving up passwords, credit card numbers or other personal information. Such e-mail often looks like a legitimate message from companies like eBay, PayPal or Citibank, but the links they provide lead to "spoofed" Web sites that look legitimate but are not.

Tiffany Sues eBay For Not Policing

It looks like it's going to be quite a while before companies realize that suing the service provider for something someone did on their service is a dead end. The latest is that jeweler Tiffany is suing eBay because users sold fake Tiffany items. Tiffany should be going after those who sold fake items, since they're the ones who have actually done something wrong, but apparently that's too difficult, and those people are unlikely to have very much money. So, instead, they just sue eBay -- even though the company has done nothing wrong themselves.

"The anti-counterfeit software in Photoshop CS was developed by the Central Bank Counterfeit Deterrence Group, an organization established by the governors of the G-10 central banks to promote the use of anti-counterfeit devices in the computer industry....The inner workings of the counterfeit deterrence system are so secret that not even Adobe is privy to them. The Central Bank Counterfeit Deterrence Group provides the software as a black box without revealing its precise inner workings, Connor said."

Building Better Batteries

Building Better Batteries 12/24/2004 12:29 PM
David Pescovitz: My latest article for TheFeature is about new battery designs for mobile devices, from an onboard nuclear trickle charger that harnesses radioactive energy to a microbattery made with the same techniques used to fabricate computer chips.

"In late 18th century, Italian physicist Luigi Galvani shocked the public by demonstrating that an amputated frog's leg twitched when touched with certain metals. Galvani was convinced that energy stored in the frog's leg caused the jerk. He called the accumulated juice "animal electricity." Galvani's friend Alessandro Volta called it nonsense. To prove that the energy came from the metal, not the flesh, Volta eventually made a sandwich of silver, moist cardboard, and zinc. His device also spurred frogs' legs to spasm. In the end, Volta won the intellectual battle and also invented the battery. Two hundred years later, the technology hasn't changed much."

A look at iPod batteries

A look at iPod batteries 03/19/2005 03:27 AM
Since it’s debut in 2001, iPod users have had to contend with the thorny issue of battery replacement. Apple iPods are not unique in the world of rechargeable devices, writes Lance Ulanoff of PC Mag.com. All of the MP3 players on the market use rechargeable batteries, however some are designed for easy battery replacement by the owner. In his comprehensive article, Ulanoff outlines Apple’s battery replacement policy and gives the background in what has been a contentious issue for many iPod owners. “Maybe Apple made a mistake by not making them so consumers could replace their own batteries, but perhaps that's the price you pay for that much-lauded Apple industrial design,” Ulanoff concludes. “So please, enough with the wild conspiracy theories and the threats of class-action lawsuits. The iPod's a good player. Apple's not trying to pull a fast one, and some of you need to learn a little more about rechargeable battery care.”
