Is The Recording Industry Hiding spyware
In Windows Media Files?
12/30/2004 02:25 PMHere's a story that raises many more questions than it answers. When
the recording industry first tried to get politicians to shut down
file sharing networks, they went with the "it's stealing music" line,
which generated some interest, but most people didn't seem to pay
attention. Then, the industry suddenly became oh-so-concerned about
the fact that
child
porn was on these systems, and tried to convince politicians they
needed to stop file sharing for the "sake of the children." Lately,
it seems the industry will do whatever it takes to make file sharing
systems look bad. With that in mind, it makes you wonder if they'd go
so far as to specifically hide spyware on file sharing networks just
to upset users. It's not entirely clear if that's what happened, but
it seems like the most obvious explanation for the following story,
which was found on
Broadband
Reports. Overpeer, a subsidiary of Loudeye, has been caught
hiding
adware and spyware within Windows Media files. Overpeer is
the same company that the recording industry has hired in the past to
dump fake versions of songs on file sharing networks. What the
article doesn't answer is whether or not the industry hired Overpeer
to dump spyware on the network as well, but it's likely they're
pleased either way. Overpeer defends their actions by saying that
anyone obviously deserves what they get because, obviously, they were
looking for unauthorized files. It's not clear that everyone would
agree. Sneaking malicious files onto someone's computer because "they
deserved it!" doesn't seem like a very good justification. What may
be even more important to this story, however, is the revelation of
just how easy it is, thanks to a
huge loophole in Microsoft's
copy protection technology, to include a malicious file with an audio
or video file. Basically, because Windows DRM needs to look for a
license, all anyone needs to do is point that license to a website
that loads malicious content and off you go. Thank you Microsoft, for
creating a huge loophole that will probably make sure millions of new
computers are loaded with spamming, DDOSing trojans shortly. Thank
goodness for that
Microsoft DRM, huh? Not only does it not protect any actual
property while making things more expensive, it opens up plenty more
people to malicious attacks.

05/25/2004 11:30 PMOn the second day of a sold-out Microsoft® Tech•Ed 2004 Conference,
Andrew Lees, corporate vice president for Server and Tools Marketing
at Microsoft Corp., introduced to more than 11,000 customers and
partners the Windows Server System (TM) Common Engineering Roadmap,
Microsoft's long-term plan for delivering common services across
Windows Server System products, including services designed to support
and implement Microsoft's Dynamic Systems Initiative. Lees detailed
the first delivery of that plan, the Common Engineering Criteria for
2005, a set of capabilities that will be available in all Microsoft
Windows Server System servers released after Jan. 1, 2005. Microsoft
also announced additional Windows Server System innovations that,
combined with the Common Engineering Roadmap, reduce the complexity of
IT. Finally, Lees announced the June 1 launch of an expanded and
enhanced product support life-cycle policy. The updated policy will
provide customers with a minimum total of 10 years of mainstream and
extended support for business and developer products.

11/16/2003 11:47 PMThe next version of the Microsoft Windows operating system, code-named
"Longhorn," marks a significant change not only in terms of how the
operating system works, but also in the way in which applications are
built. The Longhorn version of Windows includes a new storage system,
natural search technology, and an increased emphasis on security and
trustworthy computing. Here the author provides an overview of
Longhorn, focusing on the build-once, deploy n-times application
model. In addition, he discusses the new language, code-named "XAML,"
that's used to create UI elements, then presents some working samples.

"If you think coding
around that Eolas patent might be tough, you ain't seen nothin'
yet. The USPTO awarded a patent to Microsoft Tuesday for Writing Windows Applications Using
HTML, which covers the authoring and execution of HTML that runs
in its own window outside of the browser. Ironically, Microsoft occupies two seats
on the W3C HTML Patent Advisory Group that's fighting the Eolas
patent." Certainly seems like something that is pretty damn
obvious, and not quite patentable. There must be prior art examples
of people writing HTML applications outside the browser window? If
this patent stands, though, it certainly sounds like Google's new
desktop toolbar is in violation.

04/10/2005 11:33 PMZorn Whups Chicagoist’s Ass
“In the wee final moments
of Thursday night, Chicagoist received an e-mail from Chicagoist's
favorite professional blogger and columnist
Mr. Eric Zorn.
The subject line: ‘whup ass
report -- Nexis’
Seems Chicagoist may have
inadvertently overstated things yesterday when we said getting the
phrase ‘can of whup-ass’ into the pages
of the &lsq
uo;stuffy and stodgy Tribune’ signaled a ‘hope for
tomorrow,’ as Zorn uncovered at least four previous
occasions when said phrase has appeared in the Trib. Using his trusty
Lexis-Nexis, Zorn found the mentions and they go clear back
into 2001.
While one Chicagoist staff member was heard to say
that if Zorn wants to lend us the cash to get a subscription to
Lexis-Nexis we'd be happy to check for such things, and while two of
the references are found in the pages of Red Eye, Chicagoist
knows when we've had our asses handed to us and we can admit
it….” [Chicagoist]
I
was going to leave a comment on the Chicagoist site to the effect that
while they may not have access to Lexis-Nexis, they most certainly
have access to a far wider range of materials that most definitely
includes an archive of the Chicago Tribune, all for
free, thanks to their local public library. Except that in this case,
that local public library is the Chicago Public Library. In order
to prove my point, I searched for a list of the databases to which
they offer access. Guess what? No list. Just a link to “Chicago WebFeat
Remote Authentication.” What on earth do you suppose is a
WebFeat Remote Authentication, much less a Chicago
one?
That’s when I realized that Chicagoist doesn’t
know the answer to that question, either, and really, why should they?
So to Chicagoist, trust me that your search would have gotten you what
you needed if the page had been labeled something that made sense and
provided any type of explanation or list at all. Bookmark that page,
because there’s a wealth of information available to you from it
(assuming that you have a library card, and I feel pretty confident
that you do). And to CPL, rename that page ASAP and add a list of
all of the databases available in order to highlight your assets, not
hide them!

Nuclear Safety Lapses Won't
Be Revealed --
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission announced the
change in policy during its first public meeting on power plant safety
since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. It drew barbs from
critics who said the secrecy would erode public confidence in the
agency.
Until now, the NRC has provided
regular public updates on vulnerabilities its inspectors found at the
country's 103 nuclear power reactors, such as broken fences or
weaknesses in training programs. The
NRC's release is here, which also states that they'll be
exempt from Freedom of Information Act requests.

Malicious doctors hiding behind a
non-profit
02/10/2004 05:22 PMThis is a horrible display of media manipulation. The nonprofit,
Physicians Committee for Responsible
Medicine, stole and leaked confidential data that indicated
that Robert Atkins (author of the famous diet) was obese when he
died. The news stories
exploded all over
the world (267 on Google News alone), all with the
title: "Atkins was obese when he died." Unfortunately,
the information is apparently baseless. According to
the
AP, Atkins
was in a coma during his last week of life where he was pumped with
fluids. These fluids accounted for his extensive weight
gain. This group obviously did this to discredit a diet
that clashed with their low-fat orthodoxy. Shame. This is
a level of desperation and maliciousness that denigrates the
committee and their cause.
