Will Anyone Notice Netscape's Return?
05/27/2004 11:04 AMWhile most people had written off the Netscape browser, assuming that
AOL had all but left it for dead when they spun off Mozilla, it turns
out that AOL really is planning to release a new version of the
browser, which basically has everyone asking:
but
why? Mozilla, on its own, seems to be getting some traction, and
Netscape will still be based on Mozilla. Meanwhile Opera is still
innovating in the browser space and the Mac folks still seem to like
Safari. At the same time, most of the known universe is still stuck
on IE and don't see any reason to change (despite there being plenty
of good reasons). So, the question is where does Netscape fit into
this space, and what does AOL hope to get out of it? No one expects
AOL to add any significant features to Mozilla, and the average AOL
user is still stuck on AOL's own browser (which is still based on IE).
About the only reason anyone can come up with for this release is
that there are still some folks using older Netscape technology, and
therefore AOL decided to refresh it. Perhaps that defines AOL's
strategy these days: "Let's just kind of stick with what we have and
refresh it periodically and hope that no one realizes there's a lot of
other stuff out there." No wonder users are bailing out by the
hundreds of thousands.

iRiver officially unveiled the H10 today in Korea,
the 5GB hard disk-based player that looks a lot like a mini Creative
Zen Touch (or Zen Micro, even). It's got pretty much the same specs as
everything else in this segment, except notably the 1.5-inch screen.
It'll be available on the 22nd in Korea for around $340. If they want
to make it in the American market, let's hope they drop the price a
little before it gets here.

07/23/2004 09:45 AMNew on MSDN: IEBlog. The
official blog of the Internet Explorer product team. As it turns out,
there is an Internet Explorer product team. And they're
working on IE 7. Go figure. Their take on IE?
I Love This Browser!
I hopefully got your attention with the title of my first post. And
it is definitely true for me, as I have loved browsing the web since I
started way back in the mid 90s, and I really love browsing with
IE.
Sounds like they're drinking their own Koolaid up in Redmond.
Also of interest is the Internet Explorer Feedback Wiki, which is the
opposite end of the spectrum, where everyone dumps their frustrations
with IE. It would be nice to hear the IE team address some of these
items on their new blog, since they don't seem to post to the Wiki
much.
Microsoft has an awful lot of people blogging these days,
and you can't help but like the openness of it all, even if it is
somewhat flavored with a hint of corporate communications
policy.

My Official Title
10/30/2003 06:07 PMFor years, I've struggled to define my path. People ask what I "do"
for a living, and it's difficult to give them a specific title.
Writer? Entrepreneur? Geek? They just don't work, because I've always
done things differently. To put a finer point on it, here's what
someone just called me: a technical Renaissance man for the 21st
century. Hopefully, I can get that to fit on my next business card.
Everything is suddenly starting to make more sense; it's amazing what
a fresh perspective can provide... and clarity is only the beginning.
The foundation is forming, and I'm ready to build. Could you hand me
that electric hammer? Thanks....

It's Official:
TSA Lied
Two government reports confirm what EFF and other privacy advocacy
organizations have long known: the
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) lied about its role in
using airline passengers as guinea pigs for testing "Secure Flight" -
the latest version of a fundamentally flawed passenger-profiling
system for screening terrorists. And not only did TSA lie, it lied
repeatedly, to everyone.
A D
HS report [PDF], released this past Friday, reveals that TSA
misled individuals, the press, and Congress in 2003 and 2004. A GAO report [PDF],
released Monday, also shows that Secure Flight has failed to meet 9
out 10 conditions the GAO set for giving the program the go-ahead.
These conditions include providing adequate protection for passengers'
privacy and ensuring the accuracy of the data it would use to classify
people as terrorist risks.
Passenger records contain detailed personal information, such as
your name, address, phone number, travel itinerary -- even your credit
card number. Yet the DHS report says TSA shared passenger information
with outside contractors while neglecting to "inquire whether the data
used by the vendors had been returned or destroyed."
"This is worse than ChoicePoint," says EFF Senior Privacy Attorney
Lee Tien. "It reflects an attitude toward the privacy of Americans
that falls well below what people are up in arms about in the
commercial data industry. These people have a public trust and
they're abusing it."
For additional information, see Bruce Schneier's GAO's Report on Secure Flight; for background, see TSA and
CAPPS II -- Anatomy of a Cover Up.
As Donna says, this
just confirms things that we all sort of figured were going on, but
this is quite an official acknowledgment. I wonder if there will be
any followup action on the part of the US government.
The US doesn't have a monopoly on this stuff of course. I've been
fighting very hard for privacy in Japan. What we ended up with was a
privacy bill that allows the government to strictly enforce privacy
rules for businesses, but leaves the government quite free and exempt
from similar oversight, focusing more on the "ethics of civil
servants." Of course there is also a carve out for "the media" so they
don't scream about it too much. Unfortunately, in the case of the
Japanese privacy bill, "the media" includes only TV and newspapers and
not magazines and of course not bloggers. Although I agree that
privacy violations by businesses is a problem and a threat, I'm still
much more concerned about abuse by governments, particularly when
there isn't a good oversight process. The US is lucky it has the
GAO.
