Trying To Unravel Study About
IT/Employee Security Disconnect

Trying To Unravel Study About
IT/Employee Security Disconnect 04/28/2004 02:31 PM
Websense, a company that is trying to sell filters to IT staff, has put out a new study talking about how there's a disconnect between IT staff and employees when it comes to threats on their machines. Unfortunately, it also appears that there's a disconnect between the study, the press release about it and some reporters. Two different articles on the study present some very different numbers - and some of the conclusions in the press release seem equally questionable. Silicon Valley Business Journal says that employees claim they spend two hours a week surfing personal sites, while Wired News gives the number as 3.3 hours. Both, however, agree that IT staff believes it's more like six hours. The disconnect between IT and employees isn't surprising. Of course employees are going to play down how much time they spend surfing non-work sites, because they don't want to get in trouble. At the same time IT often has the incentive to boost those numbers to suggest they need more resources to handle the "problem". The press release shows that the number is 2 hours - but even that's a little confusing. They say that 51% of employees admit to surfing 1 to 5 hours a week, for an average of 2 hours. It's not clear if it's just those 51% who average 2 hours, or if that includes the 49% who apparently don't do personal surfing at work. The next bit of confusion is over spyware. Wired points out that 6% of employees admit to downloading spyware, but that 30% of computers are found with spyware, while the press release gives the number as 29% (just a little rounding, I guess). This isn't all that surprising, since spyware is known to install itself without people knowing. The Business Journal, however, focuses on the fact that the press release claims 92% of companies ended up with spyware - highlighting the discrepancy between the 6% and the 92%. That's misleading, since even if 1% of all employees at every company ended up with spyware, 100% of companies would have spyware. The Business Journal piece also follows the press release in saying that the study asked people if they "visited sites" that install spyware, whereas Wired News assumes the question was whether or not they knowingly "downloaded" spyware - two very different things. Finally, Wired says that 93% of IT staff claim they're adequately protected against viruses - but that two-thirds admit their company has been hit by viruses. The Business Journal phrases things a bit differently. First, they claim the number is 95% instead of 93% (the press release says "nearly 95%" so this is understandable) and instead of saying protected against viruses, they say "protected from threats such as spyware, peer-to-peer file sharing, instant messaging and maladies such as the MyDoom virus -- all potential conduits for Web-based viruses." That paints a very different picture. First off, it's a bit problematic to simply lump together things like spyware and instant messaging as global "threats," but even worse that list doesn't include email - the main source of viruses getting onto computers. The press release, however, indicates that the study simply asked if their anti-virus software was effective. Anyway, it is very likely that there's a disconnect between IT staff and employees concerning protecting computers in the work place, and better tools would probably help. However, relying on this study, or any of the articles about it, doesn't seem like a particularly useful exercise.

Documentary filmmakers get screwed by
copyright clearance 12/30/2004 04:48 PM
Cory Doctorow: Thomas sez, "Untold Stories: Creative Consequences of the Rights Clearance Culture for Documentary Filmmakers: A pair of researchers documented increasing barriers to documentary film production caused by the high cost of obtaining rights clearances from IP holders."

The study explores the implications of the current terms of rights acquisition on the creative process of documentary filmmaking in today's marketplace, and from them makes recommendations to lower costs and promote creativity. It focuses on the lived experience of independent documentary filmmakers who work primarily within a broadcast environment (sometimes with a theatrical "window"), in coping with the creative challenges created by acquiring and granting rights. Click here to read Untold Stories.

Independent documentary filmmakers were selected because their work regularly requires them to interact with a wide variety of rights holders, from archives for photographs and stock footage to musical performers to other filmmakers. This is especially clear when it is a historical documentary or one that comments on commercial popular culture, but it is an issue for most documentary filmmakers, no matter what the subject matter. When a trademark appears on a baseball cap, or a subject happens to be watching television, or a radio in the background plays a popular song, or a subject sings "Happy Birthday," rights clearance becomes a professional and creative challenge.

New iPAQ Pocket PC 07/27/2004 02:43 AM

I'll be honest I have a iPAQ one that I purchased last year. It was a big waste of money. My laptop is with me about 90% of the time. I play games on it on airplanes and try and figure out how to re-coup my money. Someone needs to come up with a book on how to be productive with a Pocket PC. I am sure their is one out there but I'd hate to waste more money. This is one of the reasons I am hesitant to buy a tablet. I'm afraid it would be a waste of money.

See, I told you guys I'd link to more HP stuff if it was worthwhile; namely, PDA Buyer's Guide takes out the low-end of the new iPAQs, the rz1715 (codename: Lil' Rizzizzeal), and while they find it to exude the trademark fit-and-finish of the HP iPAQ line, a lack of features (compared to the last generation, even, not just the newly-release iPAQs) makes the $275 suitable mostly for PDA tinkerers who just need a Pocket PC for its core functions (Personal Information Management, etc.)

Whoa, this is a crazy one. There apparently had been rumors floating about of a new HP iPaq Smartphone, called the RW6100, and pictures have surfaced on a Korean website of what looks to be that very thing. What's interesting to me, though, is that it appears to be a slider, although with just a keypad underneath instead of a keyboard. It has a marked resemblance, in fact, to the Samsung SGH-D410 we reviewed last week, although it looks a lot bigger. Could be a very nice compromise between capability and size if it all pans out.

I've had the HP iPaq h6315 - their newest, actually-released Smartphone - in here for the last few days, and while I'll probably give it a proper review here soon, it's cemented my notion that I'm not that impressed with Windows Smartphones in the larger slate form factor anymore. If you don't mind things being way too huge for pockets, though, it's got a lot to offer.

Trusted Reviews takes a gander at the HP iPaq rx7815, a middle-range Pocket PC that HP is positioning as a "mobile media" device, and they seem to come away somewhat impressed, although to be honest it's sort of a hard review to read (in the 'figure out how they feel' sense not the 'bad English' sense). As for features, the rx3715 is strong enough, with integrated Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (b) and even a decent camera (which is to say, better than VGA), but I think maybe the mezzo-mezzo tone of the review - and here is where I go out a limb, perhaps - is indicative not of HP's failings with this particular iPaq, but just a general malaise that is clouding our feelings about PDAs. We know what they do, they do it fairly well, but nobody is figuring out how to really make them any more useful.

To HP's credit, it does look like they are really trying to develop some new software that does new, interesting things. It looks like they're sort of succeeding.
