Yahoo's Offers New Anti-Spyware Tool...
That Actually Finds Spyware

Yahoo's Offers New Anti-Spyware Tool...
That Actually Finds Spyware 08/05/2004 03:50 AM
It appears that Yahoo heard the backlash loud and clear a few months back when they released an anti-spyware tool that just so happened to skip over adware from Yahoo partners. The latest version, built on PestPatrol's technology will now default to notifying users of both "spyware" and what they consider to be "adware" and then give the user the choice of what to do. I haven't tested the product yet, but it sounds like they're moving in the right direction. It still makes you wonder what they were thinking in offering a purposely crippled offering. People know what spyware is, and telling them that spyware isn't spyware doesn't change how people feel about it. It also doesn't make them look kindly back at the company that provided them with the bogus anti-spyware tool in the first place.

Yahoo's Famed Anti-Spyware App Allows
Spyware From Partners 06/02/2004 10:10 AM
We didn't write about Yahoo's new "anti-spyware" toolbar that they announced last week, because it seemed to receive plenty of hype, and there were no real reviews of how it worked. There are so many so-called anti-spyware applications out there that don't actually stop spyware and adware for fear of upsetting marketing companies or out of worries that actually stopping spyware may make some applications stop working (upsetting the user), that we figured Yahoo's anti-spyware app (hype and all) probably wouldn't be much to bother with. It certainly looks like that may be the case. eWeek is now reporting that Yahoo tries to dance the careful dance of not upsetting certain companies who threate n to sue people who call their application spyware. Of course, the situation is even more complex because Claria (who you probably know as Gator - despite their attempt to change their name to shake that spyware label) is also a partner of Yahoo. So, it's really not surprising that the default setting for Yahoo's anti-spyware app won't actually remove services like Gator or WhenU. Instead, Yahoo's spyware remover claims these programs are "adware" and will only remove them if you click and extra check box each time you run the program. In other words, once again, you can't trust a provider of anti-spyware software, because they're playing both sides of the fence: partnering with providers on the one hand, and then offering weak removal products on the other. If Yahoo were serious about removing spyware from the computers of users they would refuse to partner with companies that used surreptitious tactics to be installed on computers. Instead, they want to look good to users in the front, while letting in spyware/adware from partners through the backdoor.

AOL Offers Spyware Stopper... Just After
They Started Offering Spyware 04/22/2004 02:36 AM
Just a few weeks after saying that they're going to start bundling spyware/adware with their instant messenger product, AOL announces their latest anti-spyware application. While we've been complaining about anti-spyware from ISPs that just points out the spyware, AOL claims that this version will disable (though not delete) the spyware. I wonder if it will catch the spyware that AOL installs themselves.

Die-cast Rebirth?

Die-cast Rebirth? 06/24/2004 04:47 PM
A new Probe Droid has just been launched; this week we're looking for fans to weigh in on the possibility of a smaller, more affordable line from Code 3 Collectibles. As other top rated collectible manufactures look to miniature versions of their line (Master Replica's .45 series and Gentle Giant's Bust Ups), should Code 3 explore the option? Going back to the vintage days, the Star Wars line has had a long history with Die-cast Metal, with nothing offered in that format since galoob's Episode I line, should Code 3 fill that void? Look for the new Probe Droid ballot now and cast your vote today!

I especially like the eight-inch tile pictured here, generated from a satellite image of a sports arena.

Judith discovers Tribe Cast

Judith discovers Tribe Cast 07/07/2004 12:55 PM

I got to see Judith Meskill again at Supernova. She's one of the smartest cookies in the social networking scene - giving the 'Many-to-Many' folks a run for the money - literally.

Here's Judith's post of Tribe Cast (which is turning Tribe into a web service.)

Ross Mayfield’s weblog tipped me a while back to Tribecaster.

Looks great in the right hand column Ross.

How many folks still ‘read’ weblogs by visiting them? How many ‘read’ via RSS sans all of the cool thingies in the left and right hand columns of nicely laid out weblogs such as Ross Mayfield’s?

Has anyone else been utilizing this feature of Tribe?

Comments?

Coincidentally, as I clicked through to Ross Mayfield’s weblog today, my ‘image’ appeared at the top of the list of ‘Friends’. I never really expanded my group of so-called friends on Tribe, Ryze, LinkedIn, etc.

My largest group of ‘friends’ is on Orkut—where I am enamoured of the ‘baseball trading cards’ effect of a few full pages of snapshots of those I have met and/or collaborate with online.
