Spyware gonna get you sometime?

Spyware gonna get you sometime? 06/25/2004 07:08 AM

My kids who play games on the net and don't really understand that they should not click some things end up being infected with spyware 2-3 times a week and this is with me having 3 applications protecting the machine. At times it gets so bad I just restore the machine. I have become a Norton Ghost expert because of my kids.

But adults are vulnerable also and on average my machine picks up one spyware program a week. I test a lot of software and I visit a significant number of sites and I am sure most of the things I pick up are from software packages. I have been using NAV and Spy Sweeper but after reading Wired's story today I think I am going to give Spybot a run and see how it does.

For a long time I had a link to a site that kept track of what programs out there has spyware built into the programs but it is buried someplace in my 1000's of Favorites. Anyway if your not using Anti Virus software and some sort of Active Spyware program your asking for trouble. Great article by [Wi red]

The Ascent of the Robotic Attack Jet “Compared to many aeronautical curiosities that have taken wing at NASA’s Dryden Flight Research Center at California’s Edwards Air Force Base over the years, the latest military test stunts did not appear very remarkable. Last April, a low-slung aircraft, about the size of a sport utility vehicle but with batlike wings similar to those of the B-2 stealth bomber, took off, flew at 10,500 meters and then dropped…

Change is gonna come

Change is gonna come 02/01/2005 09:42 PM
I've been following some of the coverage of the Blog Credibility Conference at Harvard (from, Weinberger, Jarvis and Winer, among others). It continues to amaze me how much of this debate is a retread of the mid-'90s, when journalists first moved online and discovered that the Web moved really fast, had different norms, gave their readers new voices and made their own voices sound stuffy and institutional. First I think, "Come on already!"; then I think, "Oh, it's okay." Lessons that change one's professional habits need to be learned from experience, and a much wider population of journalists is being exposed to these changes now that blogging software has drastically expanded the universe of personal media.

This post by David Weinberger puts some of this in a smart perspective -- focusing, as I and many others often will, on the critical fact that the vast majority of blogs (like the vast majority of the Web itself) represents stuff created not to "aggregate eyeballs," build traffic, produce revenue, compete with the pros or otherwise challenge or replace the existing order of the media. People are building something fundamentally new, something that had no opportunity to exist before, and that will -- as all such new developments in media do -- end up changing but not replacing what's already here.

There's another disconnection between the "we're-changing-everything" bloggers and those newsroom veterans who don't understand what the fuss is about, and it has to do with scales of time. If you run a newspaper or a TV news operation you have spent your whole professional life in a stable structure, one whose supporting beams of business and technology have never fundamentally shaken or broken under you. The world of professional media has experienced such changes only across the span of a century. But the world of the technology business experiences big changes on a scale of decades -- an order of ten faster. Dominant companies rise and fall, new technologies change the rules of the game, and habits of doing business get tossed in the trash every 10-20 years instead of every 100-200 years.

As a lifelong professional journalist who jumped headfirst into the tech-industry world a decade ago, I've made my choice. I don't see getting anywhere by putting one's money on the idea that change in this field is going to slow down rather than speed up. Which means that, if I were sitting in a newsroom today, I might think it prudent to listen a little less to the voice that says, "Who are these upstarts telling me what's wrong with my work?" -- and a little more to the one that says, "Wouldn't it be fun to do things differently?"

“The black-and-white Volkswagen Beetle pulled up in front of a suburban Antioch home, and a man wearing a white shirt, white socks, black tie and black pants got out and rang the doorbell, holding up an identity badge. ‘Hi, I’m Double Agent Mark, with the Geek Squad,’ he said to Louise Agnew, who answered the door. Agnew led him into her office, where her computer sat idle, surrounded by evidence of the many projects she uses it for — Soroptimist speeches, photos from scuba diving, stamp collecting. ‘I came back from vacation, and AOL sent a message saying they had detected a virus,’ she said. ‘It will not let me open Word. I’m lost without my Word.’

Apparently Ford never authorized the commercial's (.mpg) release.

Seems that Best Buy has some geeks dressed like geeks that go around in a VW of all cars and make house calls to fix peoples sick computers. From the prices that Best Buy is getting for these house calls I think I need to start free-lancing. But seriously I have spent 100's of hours in people homes fixing their computers as a favor while trying to get them clued in so I will never have to come back..

I got introduced to a new person on Saturday. Ok, so he's a cool sci-fi geek, and I'm a...

"This is the guy who does strange things and puts them on the internet."

I was kinda surprised. I knew the introducer from several years back, and we had had a lot more encounters in Ropecon and other completely non-web related thingies. I wasn't quite sure if she read my blog at all until now. So I asked why she would introduce me as a blogger, not as a gamer.

"Because that's what you're famous for", she replied.

Ok. Scared now.

One thing for sure the boys at Microsoft had better get busy as the boys over at Apple are going to start putting the hurt-locker on Microsoft. The announced features to MAC OS X Tiger are not due to be out until 2005 but I even had to say wow. One thing I find very intriguing is the Apple's big push into RSS. Seems Safari is going to get some serious enhancements.

My question is when is Microsoft going to invest some money in Internet Explorer. When my 14 year old tells me Firefox is a lot cooler that IE then it is obvious that Microsoft is loosing their edge. [Apple]

Greasemonkey is a Firefox extension that allows users to create scripts that alter the display of existing web pages. Like removing ads from google pages. I learned about the google script from boingboing. Oh, here's a script to remove the ads from there. Greasemonkey has a lot of uses, but has adblocking gone too far?

Jeff Jarvis: "You can't be a software company and a service company under one roof, for you will inevitably end up competing with your customers." [Scripting News]

This is a perfect post to followup my previous rant.

Earlier Ted Leung used the current Moveable Type pricing scandal as a launching pad for: "Community owned weblogging tools". I responded that the code is only part of the equation of the software.

And then BAM along comes this next post by Jeff, which I actually mainly agree with, asserting that you can't mix a software company and services company - as it generates an inherent conflict of interest with your software customers - and then I thought NO!

I don't agree with Jeff.

You can and we should be able to mix services and software - we MUST!  Over 50% of IBM snd Oracle's revenues are generated from service business.  There's plenty of good money out there, why shouldn't companies be opportunistic and jump on great ideas and run with it?

I think it was really smart of SixApart to put out TypePad and I'm proud of them for it.  I don't agree with their pricing model for TypePad - so it came as no surprise to me that they'd kind of stumble with the MT 3.0 pricing delimma. But it looks like they're listening and are senstiive enough to criticism that they 'backed off' a bit on the onerous terms.  That was just stupid.

But they do have the right to do what they're doing.

But Jeff's POV brings up the REAL issue we face - as we all try and show how to 'make money' from open source.  There's such a thing as GOOD implementation, GREAT implementation and HITTING A HOME RUN!

Based upon what I've seen Ross Rader and Tucows produce with Blogware - I'd say the Trotts and SixApart are only doing a GOOD job at TypePad.  They're obviously being pulled in numerous directions (like who the hell thought up TypeKey? Can't they get that functionality from SourceID or other authentication systems?)

So I totally agree with Jeff Jarvis that combining services and software in one company creates inherent conflicts of interest - but that's the nature of the beast nowadays - Jeff - and it takes really GREAT, sometimes HOME RUN like execution to pull it off.

In my own life - I can tell you that when the VCs told us to stop doing production work - back in 1987-88 - we let $10,000,000s of reveneus escape us, while our mutlimedia develoipers chomped it down.  Our little company, which was doing less than $5M a year had enabled a $250M market - growing 100% a year.

But because we were relished to the 'tools ghetto', Kleiner Perkins then went on to invest in lots of other multmedia startups - taking their market knowledge we educated them in - and investing their money elsewhere. 

I vowed then, that I'd participate in ALL stages of the food chain - from the moment when the idea is created, to the pitch that gets the project going, to the designs and architecture of the project, the implementation and MOST importantly the iteration, refinement and testing required to evolve a really great digital lifestyle aggregator.  That's what I'm dong right now - and it's the only way to guarentee that your ideas come to actuality.

I've seen too many good ideas go to waste and I've been around the block enough to know how to make things happen.  Creating software is a multi-faceted, multi-discilplinary activity - sometimes stretching out over many years before you 'get it right'.

So Jeff's point is right on!

You DO create a conflict of interest with your open source brothers and sisters.  Who do you think is gonna best understand how to exploit the technology and take it to the next step?

Don't you think Mitch Kapor knows that - too?
