Macwhirled.

Had an interesting day at Macworld yesterday. As expected, Apple didn't provide wi-fi net connections during the keynote, but I had a fun time hanging out in virtual space with other journalists there, notably a crowd led by Adam Engst, who put up a wi-fi LAN and facilitated group note taking, which he put up somewhere (I'll find out later).

A sub-par Steve Jobs keynote for product announcements, I thought. Not that it mattered. My main take-away was that Apple is doing a great job of hacking the music industry, and is playing a significant role (how intentionally it's not clear) in the mass market shift from a consumer to a producer culture.

What will happen when all of us can be the first sources of music and movies as well as journals and books? A bigger, freer and far more interesting marketplace, is what.

Caring about 802.11i

Caring about 802.11i 06/25/2004 10:01 PM
The IEEE has ratified 802.11i: what next? The news yesterday that the IEEE had finally approved the 802.11i security standard known slightly tautologically as MAC Enhancements for Enhanced Security produced a number of news reports and a little bit of analysis. The Wi-Fi Alliance stole 802.11i's thunder in late 2002 by announcing that it would implement and test its own interim version of 802.11i called Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) in an effort to shore up an increasingly battered security model that was preventing adoption in the enterprise and made home users nervous. WPA succeeded wildly in changing the perception of Wi-Fi's security, even as it took months beyond its initial intended roll-out to make inroads in firmware and driver upgrades, finally appearing widely by fall 2003 in major operating systems and products. WPA repaired faults in the encryption and integrity parts of Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) with the intent of providing backward firmware compatibility with older gear. We got the better TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) along with other improvements without having necessarily to upgrade all of our equipment. (Mileage varies: Some cards as old as from 1999 can support WPA; other access points made as recently as 2002 must be replaced.) 802.11i's substantial change over WPA's interim rollout involve better handoff and better encryption. The 802.11i standard supports AES key using CCMP which conforms to government security standards. Most silicon made since late 2002 already has the pieces in place to handle the more advanced AES encryption computation and management. For the vast majority of users, AES is an unneeded improvement because it turns an already insoluble problem for all intents and purposes--100 years might be enough time with today's tech to crack a well-chosen TKIP key from some quadrillions of bytes of ciphertext--into a crack that requires the death of stars to achieve. Still, governments and critical enterprise operations want orders of magnitude better encryption than what TKIP offers for two reasons: first, flaws that reduce the computational magnitude of cracking a TKIP key might still leave the 802.11i advanced key far beyond reach; second, computation speed improves all the time, meaning that a 100-year crack today could be a 1-day crack in five years. (Some aspects of TKIP make this unlikely, however, in that enough bytes still have to pass the network to assemble a large enough matrix to use brute force, and that many bytes might...

The Army finally admits it: U.S tortured
Iraqis 08/27/2004 01:22 PM
The Army is trying to come to grips with what it did during what the Pentagon still insists on calling "Operation Iraqi Freedom", although it has a long ways to go. As General Fay is reported to have said at the Pentagon"There were a few instances when torture was being used." Now that the Army has finally admitted it, how long will it take our political leadership to admit it? I started reading the Fay/ Jones report (PDF) itself. In that tortured Army prose, I found the beginnings of the acceptance of responsibility: Abuse Clearly abuses occurred at the prison at Abu Ghraib. There is no single, simple explanation for why this abuse at Abu Ghraib happened. The primary causes are misconduct (ranging from inhumane to sadistic) by a small group of morally corrupt soldiers and civilians, a lack of discipline on the part of the leaders and Soldiers of the 205th MI BDE and a failure or lack of leadership by multiple echelons within CJTF-7.... The abuses at Abu Ghraib primarily fall into two categories: a) intentional violent or sexual abuse and, b) abusive actions taken based on misinterpretations or confusion regarding law or policy. LTG Jones found that while senior level officers did not commit the abuse at Abu Ghraib they did bear responsibility for lack of oversight of the facility, failing to respond in a timely manner to the reports from the International Committee of the Red Cross and for issuing policy memos that failed to provide clear, consistent guidance for execution at the tactical level. While taking some responsibility, the Army also took a few potshots at the CIA: The appointing authority and investigating officers made a specific finding regarding the issue of "ghost detainees" within Abu Ghraib. It is clear that the interrogation practices of other government agencies led to a loss of accountability at Abu Ghraib. DoD must document and enforce adherence by other government agencies with established DoD practices and procedures while conducting detainee interrogation operations at DoD facilities. This matter requires further investigation and, in accordance with the provisions of AR 381-10, Part 15, is being referred to the DoD Inspector General, as the DoD liaison with other government agencies for appropriate investigation and evaluation. Soldiers/Sailors/Airmen/Marines should never be put in a position that potentially puts them at risk for non-compliance with the Geneva Convention or Laws of Land Warfare. The report...

Via 60 Minutes, the Memory Hole has these extremely graphic pictures of American soldiers torturing Iraqi prisoners. What a command failure -- General Abizaid, the Central Command commander, should be relieved on the spot, as should every commander in the chain of command between the him and the general in charge of the jail. A description of the pictures, from CBS 60 Minutes: 60 Minutes II has a dozen of these pictures, and there are many more – pictures that show Americans, men and women in military uniforms, posing with naked Iraqi prisoners. There are shots of the prisoners stacked in a pyramid, one with a slur written on his skin in English. In some, the male prisoners are positioned to simulate sex with each other. And in most of the pictures, the Americans are laughing, posing, pointing, or giving the camera a thumbs-up .... But the Army investigation found serious problems behind the scenes. The Army has photographs that show a detainee with wires attached to his genitals. Another shows a dog attacking an Iraqi prisoner. Frederick said that dogs were “used for intimidation factors.” Part of the Army's own investigation is a statement from an Iraqi detainee who charges a translator - hired to work at the prison - with raping a male juvenile prisoner: "They covered all the doors with sheets. I heard the screaming. ...and the female soldier was taking pictures." There is also a picture of an Iraqi man who appears to be dead -- and badly beaten. What is this war doing to American soldiers? What are we doing to Iraqis? What will the Arab and Islamic reaction for these foul and barbaric acts be when Aljazeera broadcasts the pictures through the Arab speaking world? We are behaving in Iraq exactly as Osama bin Laden would want us to act. How many more jihadists did we create today?...

Anger management therapy in prison. Does it work? Is it ethical? Prisoners who state "If I had had a better education, I would have a good job, and wouldn't need to commit crime" have "distorted thinking"; and one prisoner claims therapy helped him premeditate an attack on an informer. Should prison therapy be effectively compulsory? Meanwhile, the posit ive psychology movement aims to find out what makes people happy.

Color Therapy Cube

Color Therapy Cube 06/30/2004 06:10 AM

'Could' and 'probably' are two of my favorite words. Without them, how could we have products like the Color Therapy Cube, an array of 24 colored squares that show patterns of color that, according to the manufacturers, "could also be beneficial." It's also possible that viewing certain patterns of soothing light could cause incontinence.

They sort of screw up with the lede, though. "Breakthrough color therapy is better than a power nap and a cup of coffee!" "Better at costing $70," is the part I think they probably left out.
