iPods blamed for rise in subway
robberies
03/30/2005 11:35 AMReports of robberies in the New York City subway system are up about
20 per cent through mid-March and police officials are blaming the
increase Apple Computer’s iPod.
"The common denominator are iPods," Paul Browne, the New York City
police department's chief spokesman, said yesterday in an Associated
Press report. "They're expensive, extremely popular and easy to
conceal after they're stolen."
In some cases, the pickpockets have lifted the iPods from unsuspecting
subway car straphangers, police said. Sometimes thieves snatch the
devices and flee out train doors. Similar robberies have increased in
and around schools, Browne said. Police have responded by deploying
roving teams of uniformed officers in areas where the iPod bandits are
most active, he said.

The Rise Of Second Degree Spam
11/17/2003 01:57 PMWhile the Direct Marketing Association continues to push for a
definition of spam that would make only fraudulent emails spam, they
seem to be ignoring the fact that most spam is defined simply as
"emails I don't want" - whether legitimate or not. And, under that
real world definition,
more and more
spam is coming from so-called "legitimate" sources. People are
starting to call this email "second degree spam". It's not
unsolicited, because the receiver signed up at one point or another,
but the company delivering the marketing messages has done nothing to
make those emails relevant - and thus, in the user's eye, they're no
different than spam. The marketers seem to be ignoring this because
they think it's to their benefit. They're wrong. The more that lazy
marketers simply blast people with irrelevant emails just because they
think it's okay that someone "opted-in", the less people will pay
attention to these emails. If they actually focused on customizing
the messages and providing what people wanted without inundating them
with useless stuff, they might actually get a good return.
Unfortunately, it's easier to be lazy and use a "scorched earth"
policy of blasting out as many messages as possible - even if it will
only work to destroy email as a marketing mechanism.

Finance Spam Passing Drug Spam While
Porn Spam Is Washed Up
05/24/2004 05:37 PMThe latest study on spam trends appears to show that
financial spam is outpacing pharmaceutical spam
- though, honestly, so much of both is coming out that it's really
hard to imagine that this matters at all. Meanwhile, it seems that
porn spam is increasingly less interesting to spammers as the numbers
have been on a noticeable decline for quite some time. No matter
what, though, it appears that CAN-SPAM has done absolutely nothing to
slow down the amount of spam sent.

From spam drops to spam spray to spam

06/05/2004 07:31 PM I am now getting 2,000+ spams a day. There are 1,440 minutes in a day
The rate of incoming spams is therefore getting close to the interval
it takes me to check my email and dispose of a single spam: By the
time I'm done checking, more spam has arrived. That is the point at
which the spam droplets form a continuous stream. And that is the
point at which no interval of my life will ever be spam-free again....
