Can't Blame The Messenger For Identity
Theft Security Problems


Can't Blame The Messenger For Identity
Theft Security Problems
03/31/2005 04:50 PM
With all of the various data security holes reported over the past few weeks, one aspect that didn't get much coverage was how some of them were discovered. The guy who found out that an online payroll company was exposing plenty of personal data has written up his experience claiming that PayMaxx threatened to sue him for pointing out the flaw. They said it was a violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act -- even though he was just trying to protect his own and others' content. With such an experience behind him, he's pointing out that any real attempt to stop identity theft needs to explicitly allow "white hat" hacking. This way, those who are simply trying to help companies find the security flaws in their system are protected. It's basically a question of whether or not the messenger should be blamed. Still, many will point out that there's a fine line between good Samaritan hacking and malicious hacking -- and some worry that malicious hackers will start claiming good intentions when they're caught. However, if the boundaries are made clear, this shouldn't be a huge problem.

U.S. fines Bill Gates $800,000 05/03/2004 03:16 PM
It may just be pocket change for the richest man in the world, but Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates has been fined $800,000 by the federal government for violating an antitrust rule. Will the world's richest man feel an $800,000 fine? The technical incident has nothing to do with the government's massive antitrust battles with Microsoft (MSFT: Research, Estimates). Gates, whose fortune has been estimated at more than $40 billion, ran afoul of the Federal Trade Commission and the Justice Department's Antitrust Division for his purchases of stock in a drug company and a waste-hauling firm.

Bill Gates gets a 4% pay raise


Bill Gates gets a 4% pay raise 09/21/2004 12:24 PM
Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates, the world's richest man, got a modest pay raise over the last year, according to a company filing.

Gates, who is also the company's chief software architect, received $901,667 in salary and bonus from the company for the fiscal year ended June 30, the company revealed in its proxy filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. That's up 4.4 percent from the year earlier total in salary and bonus.

But Gates' increase was lower than the nearly 15 percent rise in pay and bonus he received the previous fiscal year. The filing also shows Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer received the identical pay and bonus as Gates, as he has each of the previous two years. Neither executive received stock options.

With 1.1 billion shares of Microsoft stock, or about 10 percent of its shares outstanding, Gates' dividends during the year came to about $175.6 million.

This November, the company plans to pay a special dividend of $3 per share, subject to shareholder approval. The company announced in July that Gates will donate his $3.3 billion proceeds of the special dividend to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the charitable organization named for him and his wife.

Microsoft founder and billionaire, Bill Gates has donated $83 million dollars to help in the research of Tuberculosis. Executive Director of the Gates Foundation's Global Health Programme, Dr. Richard Klausner said, "It is unacceptable that TB continues to kill someone every 15 seconds when we have the ability to discover new tools to stop it. Through accelerated research and development, a new vaccine could permanently change the trajectory of the epidemic and save millions of lives every year." Tuberculosis is responsible for killing over two million people every year.

I heard that Bill Gates may be blogging. In the Seattle Times, which broke the story, Barry Mitzman is identified as "a former public-television host who helps Gates write materials such as position papers." He was told the news. "That's cool," he said. "If Bill were to do a blog, that would be very interesting. I'd read it." But would I? Will you? Advice to Gates follows...

Bill Gates May Blog. Always ahead of the curve, the astute visionary's groundbreaking foray into the virginal internet territory, known by computer hackers as "web logging," won't be all business, either. He's expected to share personal details such as tidbits from recent vacations. I for one am trembling on the edge of my seat. 1.0 lacks that special something.

Microsoft's Gates Touts Blogging as Business Tool

Gates described to his audience, which included Warren Buffett, Jeff Bezos, Michael Dell, Carly Fiorina, Barry Diller and other top business executives, how blogs worked and suggested that they could be used as a tool for businesses to communicate with customers.

[...]

Microsoft, which has already amassed more than 700 employee bloggers talking up its products and software in development, is embracing blogs and RSS technology because they are yet another potential threat and opportunity, said Joe Wilcox, analyst at Jupiter Research.

[...]

Instead of RSS, however, Google is also promoting a rival syndication standard called Atom.

So, we already knew that Microsoft knows about and cares about blogs. Does the fact that Bill Gates explained blogs to a bunch of people who already knew what blogs were mean anything substantive?

Scoble, can you give us the inside skinny? Is this going to turn into a Google-Atom vs. Microsoft-RSS war as the article insinuates?

Bill Gates Has Left the Building 04/28/2004 05:25 PM

For the first time ever in the two years I've been blogging, I have closed the comments on an entry. I always thought I could never get enough comments, but the things happening on the semi-legendary Bill Gates entry need to stop. Comments are split between very sad stories, and people making fun of those sad stories.

While I was at it, I closed the comments on the Bush and Clinton entries as well. People thought they were talking to Bush (a title of "Emailing the President" probably didn't help), and the Clinton thing is straying too far into politics (admittedly, my own comments aggravated this).

I had to dig out the manuals to find the right tag to close them, because I removed that tag from my template long ago, thinking I'd never want to close the comments on anything.
