Google Blocked in China

Google Blocked in China 09/03/2002 11:37 AM
I've been flooded with reports that Google has been blocked in China. "Lawrence" reports on Google's status in China the past few days, from personal experience. If you're in China, you may still be able to access google.yahoo.com and BBCi's Google-based search engine. You can also download Peek-a-Booty, a peer-to-peer anti-filtering program that allows you to access the Web by proxying through users in non-blocked jurisdictions.

Important usability tip: If I'm running a command or program from the command line,the OS should not pop up any damn GUI boxes for what I'm doing, especially if I've not connected to any of the GUI libraries. Today's culprit is Windows XP, which insists on popping up the "Your program has crashed! Would you like to report this to microsoft?" box when parrot dies in particularly violent ways. No, dammit, I would not like to report it, nor would I like to find my process blocked until I connect in and click the little button either, thanks. Needless to...

The other day I had trouble with the online Apple Store trying to order a Mac Mini: Of course they sorta almost had an excuse. I can see how it's not worth it for them to scale their systems for the once a year frenzy over a few hours. And I'm not sure it's a loss for them in the end. At least I persisted and I got my order through. :-) Fast forward a few days. I'm ordering a...

Following up on this BoingBoing post about rumors that access to TheMemoryHole is being blocked on military computers in Iraq, BoingBoing reader John -- who has a sister in the Army -- says,

It gets better. Awhile back I sent my sister a link to th e story about the man who could make art in cappuccino. She tried to access the story from the military hospital where she works. Here's what she sent back:

"for whatever reason, i can't open that from work. they blocked it and the screen pops up saying

Problem Report. Request Cannot be processed.Problem Cause -- A communication error occurred: "Operation timed out." Note: If the request was denied due to the Content Filterconfiguration. The content category reported is Gen. News. Possible Solution If you feel this site was blocked in error, please contact the HelpDesk at DSN 371-2098 or send an email to. IMD Help Desk.

WARNING! All web activity is logged and monitored by IMD. Unauthorized use of government information systems may lead to disciplinary action or prosecution.

so, i will have to check that out later."

[John continues:]If the request was denied due to the Content Filter configuration is a sentence fragment, but with The content category reported is Gen. News. and If you feel this site was blocked in error, please contact the Help Desk the meaning is clear enough. For whatever reason, "General News" is not fit for our troops. I've been meaning to send her a list of links and ask her if she'd be willing to try to access them (Newsweek? New York Times? Common Dreams? Freerepublic.com [a conservative site]? townhall.com [another conservative site]?) I'm also curious what other kinds of sites she can't visit (geek news? music news? yahoo? wikipedia?) and whether she's prohibited from visiting these sites at work because she's /at work/, or if she's encouraged not to pursue the news in general.

AdSense Login Blocked in IE, but Mozilla

Despite press about Googles *nix roots, the html cranked out by the Googleplex has been mostly IE exclusive code. That code has often broken down when run on browsers like Opera and Mozilla. For instance, Gmails block on Opera users. So it comes as a bit of a surprise to IE jockies to be locked out of AdSense for a day.

Misunderstanding The Success Of A
Copy-Blocked CD

Misunderstanding The Success Of A
Copy-Blocked CD 06/18/2004 12:59 PM
People sometimes have a funny way of defining "success" of an offering. For instance, yesterday, there was a story that made the rounds about how the latest chart topping CD included copy-protection for the first time. The implication was that this showed how "successful" copy protection was - because people still bought the CD. That, unfortunately, is a very simplified analysis that is quite wrong. They're really asking the wrong question. The first question should be about the purpose of the copy protection. It's there to stop music from being shared. Yet, the songs from this particular album are apparently widely available on sharing networks. That seems like quite a failure of the main purpose of the technology. On top of that, the real issue is whether or not they sold more copies of the CD this way, then without. Ed Felten points out that the Amazon reviews and emails to Alex Halderman (who publicized the famous shift key workaround) show that all this technology has really done is annoy plenty of legitimate customers who aren't trying to do anything illegal. Looking at the Amazon reviews would obviously scare off many buyers who don't want to go through that hassle (and may actually drive them to file sharing networks so they can get the music they want to hear in a format they want to use). The summary is that you have a lot of angry legitimate customers who can't do what they want, and the songs are still being shared over file sharing networks. Plus, the labels had to pay extra to include the copy protection software. This is what the industry considers a success story?

Joi Ito points us to an interesting comment by one of his blog's readers, in response to this BoingBoing post about rumors some websites such as The Memory Hole may be blocked for access by military personnel in Iraq.

I'm on a civilian owned internet right now. That means if I chose, I can search for pornographic material right at this moment if I felt so inclined. However on a military computer, we use internet which is connected to a military owned server, broadcasted by our own Sattelites. These frequencies get filtered based on what the military deems is right and wrong. This includes shopping, games, pornographic material, dating services, chat lines, and perhaps some Blogs.

For those who felt they weren't being blocked from ANY site, well, if all you try to go to is Yahoo.com, then come on. Try out "bigkinkygirls.com" or something on a military computer. Or access a hate or racist site. Good luck. Sometimes, due to the filters, a site containing news and information may be blocked without the intention of cencorship. Such as some adult software blocks a childs report on Mule's simply because the webpage had the word ass in it.

NIPR's "Websense" software is strict and server based. And is controlled by a higher leveled ISO. If there is any doubt to the web pages contents, contacting the help desk should help them realise the mistake, and fix the situation upon investigation. But NIPR would rather block any suspected webpage, than allow one to slip through. But in the luckier parts of Iraq, the soldier is free to walk into a KBR internet cafe without cost. And many units supply them with free internet so that we may research, email our families, or simply have a good time at one of our favorite Blogs.
