08/04/2004 06:17 AMBusiness Blogging Goes Mainstreamhttp://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=technology
News&storyID=5834827Major technology companies such as
Microsoft and IBM are endorsing blogging as a means of enhancing
companies' communications channels while at the same time eyeing them
as potential profit-boosters. At a recent conference held at the
University of California Berkeley's Haas Business School, IBM Almaden
Research Center director James Spohrer outlined his company's plans
for integrating blogging into its employee communication strategies:
"It's about decreasing social space between employees, and increasing
the amount of knowledge shared between people." An example might
contain some of an individual's educational background and work
experience, as well as information on product development strategies
that colleagues and customers can access around the clock. This
sharing of information could spur feedback on efforts to produce new
products and improve business processes, said Spohrer. Meanwhile, some
analysts are looking at the marketing potential inherent in blogging.
"Blogs are a way to put a human face on the company," because of the
continuous interaction and relationships that employees can develop
with blog-readers, says Forrester Research analyst Charlene Li.

CNN
03/11/2003 10:45 AMBlogging Goes Mainstream
" 'Just like the Internet was 10 years ago, blogging is popular
with an underground culture that is doing it for the love and
passion,' said Tony Perkins, who edited the recently folded Red
Herring technology magazine and last month launched a business blog
called Always On Network.
'Now there are people like me coming along and trying to figure out
how to package it,' Perkins said. 'It's time to take it to the next
level.' " [http://www.cnn.com/
]
This is a reprint of an Associated Press article from last week,
but what's interesting is the poll on CNN's site asking if readers
have ever used a blog. Assuming that bloggers aren't deliberately
skewing the results in an attempt to get BigCos to stay away from
blogs (like that could happen now), 55% of the more than 1300 people
that answered the poll picked "No and I probably won't."
That's probably accurate because if "using" means "working with,"
by the time they use a blog, it will be integrated into whatever
software they are using. If "using" means reading a blog, they still
won't know because to most folks it will just be a web site with
short entries arranged chronologically.

Case Modding Going Mainstream?
Case Modding Going Mainstream?
01/22/2004 06:28 AMPeople like to personalize their workspace, whether it's the
background on their computer desktop, or sticking some pictures on
their computer case. However, more people seem to be getting into the
idea of
case
modding: making serious changes to the case that contains their
computer - such as building a complete fish tank into one. If you
surf enough geeky/techie sites, you've definitely seen more than a few
such case mods - some more crazy than others. I have always wondered
why computer companies never made it easier to personalize your own
computer, but in a tight margin-driven business, such "extras"
probably carry little weight with the decision makers. The other
question, of course, is how the steady rise of laptops over desktops
will impact the modding culture? I haven't bought a new desktop
machine in at least five years - and can't think of a good reason to
bother with one ever again.

Bioinformatics Moves Into the Mainstream
Bioinformatics Moves Into the Mainstream
12/17/2003 02:32 PMBioinformatics Moves Into the Mainstream - An Explosion of
Data Is Being Tamed with New Systems By Jennifer Ouellette in The
Industrial Physicist (Volume 9, Issue 6)http://www.a
ip.org/tip/INPHFA/vol-9/iss-5/p14.htmlGenome mappings,
those completed and those in progress, have generated a vast amount of
biological data, and now more than ever, scientists need sophisticated
computational techniques to make sense of it. To meet those
ever-increasing needs, bioinformatics is shifting from software
designed for a specific project in academic laboratories to the
commercial mainstream. Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary research
area loosely defined as the interface between the biological and
computational sciences. In practice, the definition is narrower,
according to Michael Zuker, a professor of mathematical sciences at
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy, New York. For Zuker
and many others, the term applies to the use of computers to store,
retrieve, analyze, or predict the composition or structure of
biomolecules. These include genetic materials such as nucleic acids,
as well as proteins, the end products of genes. ... The need to manage
and analyze this data largely drives the current bioinformatics boom.
'Biology is awash in data,' says Eric Jakobsson. 'We cannot exploit
the body of data that is currently out there -- we cannot mine it --
without computers, and now we cannot even handle the data in our own
individual labs without sophisticated computation.'"

A cracked version of the popular "Mosquito v2.0" game
for Symbian phones has turned out to include a special trojan payload:
a dialer that sends a text message to the UK number 87140 with a
charge of £1.50 (about $2.75) a pop. So yeah, that sucks, but
you shouldn't be downloading phone warez, either.
Fortunately, if you're one of the unlucky ones who has been stung
by the malware, removing it appears to be as simple as deleting the
offending file. And while this is notable, and a little bit scary,
maybe it should be a sign to mobile OS developers to start locking
down the dialing functions of their phones a little more securely?

valued at over $50 million. The initiative is called Operation

Attorney General John Ashcroft announced today the most far-reaching
and aggressive enforcement action ever undertaken against
organizations involved in illegal intellectual property piracy over
the Internet. Beginning yesterday morning, law enforcement from 10
countries and the United States conducted over 120 searches worldwide
to dismantle some of the most well-known and prolific online piracy
organizations.
"Intellectual property theft is a global problem that hurts
economies around the world. To be effective, we must respond
globally," Attorney General Ashcroft said. "In the past 24 hours,
working closely with our foreign law enforcement counterparts, we have
moved aggressively to strike at the very core of the international
online piracy world."

NYT: IRC is like the cantina scene from
Star Wars, but with porn and warez (oh

05/06/2004 03:07 AMThe NYT has run a goofy Red-scare piece on Internet Relay Chat, with
hysterical, alarmist bushwah like "It is still possible - though
sometimes a bit difficult - to find mature technical discussions among
the tens of thousands of I.R.C. chat rooms" -- I mean, how "difficult"
is it to type "/join #unix"?
When I.R.C. started in the 1980's, it was best known as a way for
serious computer professionals worldwide to communicate in real
time. It is still possible - though sometimes a bit difficult -
to find mature technical discussions among the tens of thousands
of I.R.C. chat rooms, known as channels, operating at any one
time. There are also respectable I.R.C. systems and channels -
some operated by universities or Internet service providers - for
gamers seeking opponents or those who want to talk about sports
or hobbies.
Still, I.R.C. perhaps most closely resembles the cantina scene in
"Star Wars'': a louche hangout of digital smugglers, pirates,
curiosity seekers and the people who love them (or hunt them).
There seem to be I.R.C. channels dedicated to every sexual
fetish, and I.R.C. users speculate that terrorists also use the
networks to communicate in relative obscurity. Yet I.R.C. has its
advocates, who point to its legitimate uses.
