to high schools 05/05/2004 02:12 PM
The state of Maine has distinguished itself by offering iBooks to all public school seventh and eighth graders. The cost of the iBook program has been a political minefield especially as legislators in the cash-strapped state consider expanding it to public high schoolers. A new deal put forth by Apple may give that plan new hope, according to the Portland Press Herald: Apple is willing to rent laptops and defer their payments for a year.

Decompression bombs: email attachments
expanded and expanded and expanded 02/11/2004 06:56 PM
Here's an interesting security noodle from Yoz Grahame: some (meaningless) data is highly compressible using standard compression algorithms -- what would it do your computer if the payloads in automatically decompressed messages went from 7kb to 100gb?

Here's an example scenario: A mail arrives at your super-barbed-wire-protected mail gateway. The gzip-compressed attachment - only 7k big - is grabbed by the anti-virus scanner, looking for any suspicious signatures. It starts to decompress it and BANG - the resulting file, over 100 gigabytes, crashes the AV scanner and completely fills the hard drive partition in the process.

Fortunately, a good number of the AV scanners that AERAsec tested aren't too vulnerable, but some require patching. Similarly, sending a gzipped-HTML bomb to a browser will crash a fair few of them. Not so scary, then, but nifty in an admirably-nasty way.

LIAM "THE INTERN" MCNULTY -- Hitachi Global Storage Technologies (the bastard child of Hitachi and IBM's storage divisions) has announced a new version of their 1.8" Travelstar C4K60 hard drive, sporting a 10% smaller size and the "ZIF (Zero Insertion Force)" connector. I know Joel would want me to make some lewd comments about that one ^*, but I'll just say that this model is planned to be available in 20 and 30GB capacities. And yep, you guessed it... it's intended for use in portable audio players.

Washingtonienne's Apple-less iBook

Washingtonienne's Apple-less iBook 09/01/2004 08:04 AM

So the Washingtonienne photoshoot in Playboy is finally online, and as I was looking at it I had to wonder, "Do they have a special iBook with the Apple Logo removed, or are their photoshop people just that good?" Because either way, I'd be impressed. I guess we could just ask, but that's not as much fun as speculation.

Oh, this linked interview with Jessica Cutler is safe for work, actually, but it still is, you know, Playboy, so fair warning. (Thanks, Sauril!)
