Today's entry on the Google blog was altered in a subtle way. The earlier entry boasted of their Bangalore data center, but the afternoon's version now features the Zurich center more prominently and relegates Bangalore to a footnote. Could it be that the company is a little less boastful in their handling of the outsourcing debate than they thought they could be?

Highly-evolved race cars 06/19/2004 06:28 PM
Researchers at University College London are using genetic algorithms to evolve the best tunings for race cars. From New Scientist:
"Genetic algorithms mimic the principles of evolution to breed solutions to a problem. A population of potential solutions is tested for fitness and the best are cross-bred and mutated. The unfit members of the next generation are weeded out, simulating natural selection, leaving the fittest solutions to go on to breed."
Interestingly, the researchers tested their work virtually through repeated games of Formula One Challenge videogame. Link

WebScales: Towards a Highly Scalable

WebScales: Towards a Highly Scalable Metasearch Engine
http:/ /www.cs.binghamton.edu/~meng/pub.d/PIreport04.html

The main objective of this collaborative project is to develop enabling techniques for a large-scale metasearch engine that aims at covering a much larger portion of the Web and at the same time retrieving more up-to-date and more useful documents than existing search engines and metasearch engines. A metasearch engine is a system that provides unified access to multiple existing search engines. Upon receiving a query, the metasearch engine determines the appropriate search engines to invoke, the documents to retrieve from each invoked search engine and finally the set of documents to be shown to the user. The main problems to be studied in this project include (1) how to automatically discover useful search engines on the Web; (2) how to automatically and accurately categorize search engines into a concept hierarchy and how to use user profiles to map user queries to appropriate concept(s) in the hierarchy; (3) how to automatically incorporate search engines into a metasearch engine; (4) how to perform accurate database selection for longer queries; and (5) how to merge results returned from multiple search engines. This has been added to Deep Web Research Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.

Cory Doctorow: Entertainment Media Research's bogus study on music downloading concluded that "35% of music listeners are using legal download services, and that the percentage will soon surpass illegal downloads, currently at 40%." A Slashdot reader trashes the bad statistical comparisons here, with remarkable acuity:
This is a classic example of bogus statistics. The two figures have absolutely nothing to do with each other. The 30% of people using legal downloads might be mutually exclusive or totally overlapping with the 40% that use illegal downloads. The numbers need not total to 100% (and could total to more than 100%). At best we can conclude:

1. No greater than 70% of music listeners download music (legal or illegal) -- i.e., as much as 30% of music listeners simply don't download music.
2. No fewer than 40% of music listeners download music (legal or illegal).
3. At most, 30% use both legal and illegal downloads.
4. It's possible (based on this limited data) that no one does both illegal and legal downloading.

In next month's survey, both numbers could go up or down since the survey does not ask "do you ONLY download music from legal/ illegal sources." Moreover, the survey provides no estimates of volumes -- illegal downloaders could be downloading 10X or 10X less than their legal-downloading counterparts. Or people that download legal music could be the biggest "pirates" and this survey would be none the wiser.

Highly critical exploit found in AOL
Instant Messenger


Highly critical exploit found in AOL
Instant Messenger
08/09/2004 01:28 PM
Ryan McGeehan of TheBillyGoatCurse.com has reported a vulnerability in AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the handling of "Away" messages and can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by supplying an overly long "Away" message (about 1024 bytes). A malicious website can exploit this via the "aim:" URI handler by passing an overly long argument to the "goaway?message" parameter.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code on a user's system when e.g. a malicious website is visited with certain browsers.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 5.5.3595. Other versions may also be affected.

Various other issues were also reported, where a large amount of resources can be consumed on a user's system.

AOL was contacted but has not responded.
