Win XP Sp2 Problem
Win XP Sp2 Problem
08/27/2004 01:56 PMIntroduced in Service Pack 2, along side many other security features,
Windows XP gained the "security center" (
screenshot). A nice addition, and a central place
for people to check their system's security status. So we thought.
eWeek and PC Magazine have published reports suggesting that the
system can be spoofed very easily, allowing potentially nasty programs
to perform un-wanted tasks. "Based on an anonymous tip, we looked
into the WMI and the Windows Security Center's use of it, and found
that it may not only be a security hole, but a crater in the wrong
hands. Due to the nature of WMI, the WSC could potentially allow
attackers to spoof the state of security on a user's system while
accessing data, infecting the system, or turning the PC into a zombie
for spam or other purposes."
The PC Magazine article explores the problem and how it can be
exploited in good depth. It makes very depressing reading for users
who had hoped that Microsoft had over-come this kind of problem with
Service Pack 2. Microsoft responded to the article suggesting that
they didn't think it was a problem at all; they added that you needed
to be running as an administrator for it to be an issue; true, PC Mag
agreed, but they also noted that XP Home runs (by default) as Admin,
and most users of XP Pro make themselves administators to save hassle
when installing and running programs.
Service Pack 2 is a necessary upgrade for all users, and everyone
should install it. However, as the article and Neowin recommend, don't
rely to heavily on these new security features. Ensure you update
Firewall / AV / Windows often, and check the status of your protection
often. Microsoft will never be able to be 100% safe / problem free,
but they are trying, and should be commended for their effort.

[...] "Internet Explorer's track record is such that the software

The Problem with Web Polls
The Problem with Web Polls
01/24/2004 10:36 PMGay Marriage Poll
Gets Annulled: Here's a example of why Web polls are silly. The
American Family Association put a
poll on their Web site asking people if they were opposed to or in
favor of gay marriage with ultimate plans to take the results to
Congress. Of course, they assumed that with their sympathetic visitor
base, they'd have great results. Sadly:
Against the wishes of the AFA and its members, the poll
leaked to the outside. And soon, people like Gabe Anderson began
posting it to blogs, social-networking sites such as Friendster and
sundry e-mail lists. When Anderson posted it to his blog on Dec. 18,
2003, the anti-gay-marriage position was leading, with 51.45 percent
of respondents opposing gay marriage or civil unions.
But with his posting, in which he alerted his readers to the poll,
Anderson — and many like him — began to unleash the
democratic power that the Internet promises, and which organizations
like the AFA must have forgotten: the ability to bring people together
to fight for, or against, a cause.
You have to wonder why the AFA would do this in the first place.
Web polls are not even remotely scientific, so what results did they
plan to take to Congress? Incredibly biased ones?
This reminds me of something that
happened with Microsoft two years ago. There was a poll by ZDNet
about which platform was better: J2EE or .Net. .Net was trailing,
until...
Only 21.5 percent said they planned to use Microsoft
.Net--even less than the figure (23.5 percent) planning to use
neither. But by the time the poll closed, on January 5, the results
had dramatically changed, with three quarters of voters claiming to be
implementing .Net.
Sadly, there was a clear trail of an email campaign.
Several of the voters evidently followed a link contained
in an e-mail, the subject line of which ran: "PLEASE STOP AND VOTE FOR
.NET!" ZDNet logs include the Web address from where the e-mails were
sent and showed that the people who followed that link all had e-mail
addresses in the microsoft.com domain.
It got worse. ZDNet claimed to have proof of bots voting multiple
times, and people casting multiple votes.
These things are obviously bad, but is there any problem with the
email campaigns in either case? Companies put these things on the Web
to get input, and can they realy complain about world-of-mouth. It's
anyone's right to email anyone about something they think they'd be
interested in. The problem comes when there's a tipping point and the
results get irretrievably skewed.
Which leads me back to an important point: Web polls are of no use
to anyone. Period.

P2P Porn Is Not The Problem
P2P Porn Is Not The Problem
12/12/2003 12:51 PMA few months back, when Senator Orrin Hatch was convinced by some
wealthy backers that the real problem with P2P file sharing systems
was that porn was available, we wondered how that was
any
different from the internet. There's lots of porn on the
internet, but politicians aren't running around saying that we need to
shut it down. But, because of some misleading statements by the
entertainment industry, politicians are freaking out about the file
sharing networks. If they do try to do something to shut them down,
of course, the porn will just move elsewhere where it will be harder
to shut it down. In fact, the porn already is elsewhere - as it has
been all along. The U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO) is telling
Senator Hatch that
P2P porn is
no worse than what's already available on the web. Hatch's
original statement was based on a GAO report, but they're now saying
that wasn't based on a comprehensive study, but tips that were sent in
to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Only about
1.4% of those tips concerned P2P networks.

An absurd problem
07/04/2004 08:56 AMThe first kiss. When you see it coming, you sort of want to make it
memorable. (Yeah, I'm a romantic. Sue me.) It's even worse, when
the other person is equally romantic: you both want it to be
just
right.
So we circle around each other for hours, probing, thinking, wondering
about the perfect moment, and how to realize it without breaking the
fragile feelings you think you are sharing. Then, with common,
wordless agreement, we take a long, romantic walk in the middle of the
nightless night, go to this beautiful spot by the lake, laugh and take
over a play field, play in the swings for the first time in ten years.
Then, on a beautiful bridge we stop - and get immediately attacked by
a huge swarm of mosquitos. So we swat them in vain and run away to
stop in another beautiful place.
And again, the angry insects force us to leave an unvoluntary donation
to the Breed More Mosquitos -fund and we escape barely with our lives.
Frustrated, we return indoors. The perfect moment seems to be gone
forever.
We gaze at each other, uncertainly and apprehensively. I can feel her
thoughts: she's thinking the same thing as you, but neither knows how
(dares?) to go on. Then a spark of something flies across the room.
"Oh bugger, let's just do it", we say in unison and laugh
out our surprise.
And then the moment is just perfect.

07/23/2004 06:25 AMBad Search Is Still A Problemhttp:/
/www.cioinsight.com/article2/0,1397,1610163,00.asp
Web usability guru Jakob
Nielsen says that one of the most persistent challenges facing the Web
is the difficulty in finding anything: "Bad search continues to be a
problem today even though, from a technology perspective, great
progress has been made. You can see this plainly when you use the
public search engines. They're much better today than they were ten
years ago. But the search on individual Web sites or inside intranets
is, typically, still bad. [On intranets] things are divided up into
different knowledge bases, so you've got to know where to search, and
if you need to know where to search, then that defeats the entire
idea. The other problem about search is the content, which is to say
the individual pages, or units of information, are typically poorly
described in terms of things like the headline and summaries, which is
all people have to choose from when they get the search-results
listing. So if there was just one thing we could fix on the Web, and
for intranets as well, I would say let's fix search; that's still the
number one thing that's causing people problems." Nielsen estimates
that an average mid-size company (10,000 employees) could expect a
return on investment of 1,000% and a gain of $5 million a year in
employee productivity, simply by improving the usability of its
intranet.
