AP - Federal Reserve policy-makers are expected to raise short-term interest rates for a third time this year, part of a gradual process to wean the economy from ultralow rates, which are no longer needed as a bracing tonic.

Are Blogs Ready for Prime-Time?

June 16, 2004

...A partial profile of blog readers reveals:

* 54% of their news consumption is online
* 21% are bloggers themselves
* 46% describe themselves as opinion makers

...As Henry Copeland, author of the report and CEO of Blogads, summed up: "86% say that blogs are either useful or extremely useful as sources of news or opinion. 80% say they read blogs for news they can't find elsewhere. 78% read because the perspective is better. 66% value the faster news. 61% say that blogs are more honest. Divided on so much else, blog readers appear united in their dissatisfaction with conventional media and their rabid love of blogs."

Interesting statistics derived from a survey of of over 10,000 blog readers. Also asserts that blog readers are older, smarter and spend more money that most people think.

I was horrified and astounded to read in the NYT today that these guys have a dress code that make them stand out so that anyone can spot them. There are no words to describe the lethal stupidity at work here.

Helping Users Protect Themselves

Helping Users Protect Themselves 07/25/2004 08:43 PM

Some soundbites rom The weakest security link?  It's you, a recent News.com article:

People are the weakest link.

Education is the first line of defense.

People are still not thinking before opening an (e-mail) attachment.

The big problem with educating employees on security issues is being able to track whether you're getting through to people.

Everyone knows about viruses, for example, but half the people don't have antivirus software.

While I agree that people are the weakest security link and even the world's strongest lock is useless if not used, I don't think that training employees about security and tracking security policy compliance is enough to fix the problem.

What's the missing ingredient?

Helping users protect themselves.

Just as training drivers all about driving hazards is useless if the driver is a blind, users can't protect themselves if they are not fully aware of what is going on around them.  Was there any suspicoius activities involving my account since last time I signed-in?  Is there someone accessing my online bank account at the same time I am?

If a hacker broke into your computer remotely and used it to send phishing e-mails or spams, how would you know?  Unexpected blinking network connection lights?  Something is wrong when it's easier to keep track of friends logging into their computers than strangers logging into our computers.

Unfortunately, most designers of today's security products see the user only as an input device: I'll give you access to these if you give me this and that.  This mindset encourages people to be more concerned about lossing access than gaining protection.  This is why people reuse passwords and write them down in easy to find places.

Security companies need to start thinking more about helping users protect themselves by providing more information about what is going on and letting them play an active role in security.  If something suspicious is going on, don't let the information sit until probability crosses some security policy thresholds.  Inform the user rightaway.  Remember that, to the user, no news is good news so they'll think what they are doing is all right unless they are warned away from dangerous edges.

There are ways to inform the user without getting in their way too much or making them paranoid.  For example, if an e-mail message has executable or unknown file attachements, mark it visibly as potentionally dangerous.  Hyperlinks should always clearly present the destination URL to the user instead of hiding it behind a possibly bogus text.

Thanks For Helping Fix Our Software --
We Won't Sue You This Time 04/06/2005 09:36 PM
A security company discovered some vulnerabilities in some Sybase code a couple weeks ago and handed them over to the company -- who did a good job of patching the problem relatively quickly. Then, things started to get messy, as the security company got ready to explain what the vulnerabilities were, leading Sybase to threaten to sue them. That's some thank you for finding the security hole. After a public backlash, Sybase has called off its legal dogs and issued an odd announcement "thanking" the company they were thinking about suing just a day before. It's amazing that this sort of thing keeps coming up. While this case had a bit of a twist, in that the bug was already patched, it's still all about a company trying to hide where its vulnerabilities are, rather than owning up to them. Security holes happen. Everyone knows that. The real question is how a company deals with them -- and that goes beyond just how quickly they patch the holes, but how they treat those who are helping them fix their software by finding the holes in the first place.

George Santayana wrote in 1905, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Nearly 100 years later, independent software vendors should heed his aphorism. Too many ISVs create software as though it will exist in a vacuum, humming along doing its thing without the need to interface with other enterprise applications. It was this type of thinking that created the enterprise application integration industry.

Is Google Helping China Censor the Net?

Is Google Helping China Censor the Net? 09/22/2004 01:49 PM

New Scientist: Google omits controversial news stories in China. Some users recently reported that Google's Chinese news search returned different results depending when they searched using a computer based outside of China. The claims were substantiated by researchers who connected to computers inside the country.

Very disturbing if true, but not all that surprising. The tech industry, after all, has happily been supplying China with technology that helps keep the Great Firewall up and running. Networking giant Cisco, for example, is just one of the many suppliers in this system. The Net will be zoned, it seems. See also the comments on this story on Slashdot.

Even the simplest website is harder to figure out than a catalog or magazine. We all know how to "use" a catalog: start at the front cover and keep turning the pages. But with every new site we visit, we have to "learn" how it works, how its "pages" turn, how to find what we're looking for. Text that takes visitors' needs into account can help guide them through the maze.

Tell me again how Bush's War on Iraq is
helping the war on terrorism? 04/09/2004 04:01 PM
AP reported today: The Abdel-Aziz al-Samarrai mosque was hit by U.S. aircraft that launched a Hellfire missile at its minaret and dropped a 500-pound bomb on a wall surrounding the compound. The U.S. military said insurgents were using the mosque for a military fire base. Iraqi witnesses estimated 40 people were killed as they gathered for afternoon prayers. I wonder what this is going to look like on the TV screens on houses throughout the Middle East, as Al-Jazeera sends the images out of the Christian Crusader occupation troops in Iraq bombing mosques and killing worshippers. Just imagine what the reaction would be if Americans saw TV coverage of Canadian Baptist churches being bombed by the Saudi air force. I assume that the American military is correct, and that Iraqi resistance members were using the mosque for a military fire base. It doesn't matter. The so-called war on terrorism is in large part a war for hearts and minds, and with images like this being engraved upon the hearts and minds of Arab youth, we are losing that war, as everyone who knew anything about the area (including Bush senior) predicted would happen if we occupied Iraq. And more people, including American boys and girls in uniform, continue to die for Bush's lies. AP says: Since Sunday, 35 Americans, two other coalition soldiers and more than 230 Iraqis have been killed in fighting. The Iraqi figure did not include those killed at the mosque. Since the war began, at least 630 U.S. service members have died. Update 2 hours later: With a little bit of searching, you can see what the Arab world is seeing, such as this series (warning: extremely graphic) of what they describe as the pictures of Iraqi children killed in the siege of Falluja....
