05/20/2004 09:53 AMAthens IT contractor finds Wi-Fi too prone to denial of service at
present: The Atos Origin manager for the games didn't stress security
issues like actual break-ins. Rather, he was concerned about the
likelihood of attempted attacks that they would have to analyze, and
the potential of a single idiot to jam signals. These are
unfortunately reasonable concerns at present--it's all too easy to
produce junk 2.4 GHz signals or to automate denial of service attacks
that deassociate other clients....

GUI Olympics! several
corporate sponsors (ATI, nVidia, and others) are
offering up $15,000 in
prize money for the best GUI skin any designer can come up with for a
few applications. while i think it's great to push for newer and
better user interfaces, who do
so
many of the designs
seem to be pushing complexity over useability? wouldn't a better use
of a GUI design prize be to encourage people to improve on a design
rather than make it unintelligible? maybe the people pushing the
designs need to take
this
quiz.

Olympics "Thanks to its global accessibility, the Internet is
the perfect medium to hold an international competition such as The
Geography Olympics. To join the challenge in support of your country,
you simply need to select which country you will be representing and
take the quiz. The quiz consists of trying to locate 10 randomly
selected countries on a map of the world. It is different every
time."

Olympics underway
08/11/2004 01:25 PMJust watched the US Women's team defeat
Greece 3-0. Five members of the 1991 world cup team are still
playing for the US which is pretty impressive -- there aren't a lot of
examples in international sports of people remaining competitive for
over 13 years.
Tomorrow, Iraq rejoins the Olympics for the first time since 1988
to play soccer against Portugal, which is great to see. On the
downside, I'm hearing about a lot of top American athletes ducking out
of this year's games (in tennis, basketball, and cycling especially)
citing injuries and personal reasons. It's a shame we won't seem them
but I'm wondering if part of it is due to concerns about attacks or
violence. I certainly hope the games go smoothly, it seemed a few
months ago the only news coming out of Athens was bad news, but
today's soccer match seemed to go just fine.

The TiVo Olympics
The TiVo Olympics
09/06/2004 11:54 PM
Every fourth summer, IT trade pubs write about the technology that
powers the Olympic Games. It's always an interesting topic, but apart
from an enhanced focus on security, the Athens 2004 stories were
little changed from their Sydney 2000 counterparts. And yet, this
Olympics was utterly transformed, for me and for a few million other
viewers, by TiVo.
Thanks to this cheap, Linux-based appliance, I was able to compress
all of the events that interested me into a fraction of the time it
would otherwise have taken to watch them. I'll always remember the
Athens games as the first TiVo Olympics. Now I'm thinking about ways
to make the next one even better.
...
In our world -- where blogs, Wi-Fi, and computer-attached video
cameras are the norm -- we've begun to redefine the art of event
coverage. If you want to see how the Beijing Olympics should be
covered in 2008, visit a tech conference next year. [Full story at

Big Brother goes to the Olympics
08/13/2004 10:37 AMNew Scientist has an article looking at the US$312 million
surveillance system installed for the 2004 Olympics in Athens. The
eyes and ears consist of 1,000 high-res and infrared videocameras
peppering the city. Cell and landline telephone calls are being
recorded, converted into text, and "scanned for phrases that could be
linked to terrorist activity." The software's developers say it speaks
Greek, English, Arabic, Farsi, and other major languages.
(John Pike, an analyst with the defence think-tank Global
Security) believes other undisclosed measures are undoubtedly in
place, such as face recognition from video footage. He says such
surveillance technology has already proven its worth in intelligence
gathering. "They're basically the sort of stuff the National Security
Agency has been using for some time," he told New Scientist. "And they
seem to place great faith in it."
The human security is massive as well--there are seven security people
for every athlete.

Nude phonecam pix put cops in a fix
03/31/2005 03:00 PMXeni Jardin:
A police officer is accused of downloading naked photos of a suspect
from her own cell phone after a DWI arrest, according to a report. The
officer has been "reassigned" pending the outcome of an internal
investigation, as has his partner on the force -- while the department
looks into reports that
he phoned the suspect's home to ask
her out on a date.
Snip from a
Houston Chronicle story, via Declan McCullagh's politech:
During the arrest, they discovered that the woman had
stored sexually explicit photos of herself in her cell phone, and
Green downloaded the images onto his personal digital assistant,
according to the search request.
Here's a PDF of the warrant to search the officer's PDA:
Link. Politech reader Scott H. says:
[This] sure seems beyond the pale of unreasonable search and seizure
(small pun). Hypothetically, what if the phone had a picture of the
woman in question standing over a dead person in back of her home? Is
this a warrantless search and if they find the body in her home is
this fruit from a poisoned tree? Do the police have a right to search
through all the "data" a person has in thier possession at the time of
arrest? What about a USB flash drive? Encrypt, encrypt, encrypt.
Link<
/a> to EWeek story, and Declan recommends FileVault
and
PGPdisk as
handy encryption utilities.
Here
are more.
