Microsoft, Fiat Announce In-Car
Computers Partnership
07/16/2004 08:46 AM

microsoft_fiat.jpg imageMicrosoft has been eyeing the automotive market for nigh-on a decade at this point and finally their investments may start to pay off in products that might actually be useful. Fiat, for instance, has just announced a long-term strategic partnership, which in and of itself isn't that spectacular, but some of their ideas, if they come to fruition, sound pretty great: Bluetooth sync of contacts and address book information; easy USB hookups for accessing MP3 players; integrated cellular service (this is pretty common these days, but a broader standard would be nice). It's the sort of design philosophy that I can really get behind; I don't want my car to be able to do everything. I just want it to be able to talk to all my other gadgets. (Thanks, Nicolai!)

Win XP Sp2 Problem


Win XP Sp2 Problem 08/27/2004 01:56 PM
Introduced 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.

One of the biggest problems in creating and delivering a site is how to decide, specify, and communicate exactly what we're building and why. Use cases can help answer these questions by providing a simple, fast means to decide and describe the purpose of your project. In this quick-reading article, Messieurs Carr and Meehan introduce use cases and their, uh, uses.

Security risks swell for Microsoft's Explorer: From the Gee, That's Obvious Department.

Using Microsoft's Internet Explorer Web browser to surf the Internet has become a marked risk — even with the latest security patches installed.

That's the upshot of the discovery of yet another Internet Explorer security hole being exploited by intruders bent on swiping personal information from unwitting Internet users.

[...] "Internet Explorer's track record is such that the software just cannot be trusted right now," says Jeremiah Grossman, CEO of WhiteHat Security.

Again, I ask: if you're still using IE...why?

The Problem with Web Polls


The Problem with Web Polls 01/24/2004 10:36 PM

Gay 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 PM
A 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


An absurd problem 07/04/2004 08:56 AM
The 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.

Bad Search Is Still A Problem
http:/ /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.
