Microsoft's Security Dilemma







Microsoft's Security Dilemma

Microsoft's Security Dilemma 04/12/2004 02:06 PM

There seem to be two competing visions at the company—one in which security is paramount and another in which top priority goes to features that make it easy for anyone to build applications.

Schlotzsky's Latest Numbers

"Schlotzsky's reports 40 percent of customers consider Wi-Fi and Web browsing as factor in visiting: As the chain has expanded to 38 company-owned and franchise stores mostly in the South that offer in-store free computer access and Wi-Fi, their latest market research shows a significant uptick in awareness.

The company reported that 40 percent of customers surveyed considered Wi-Fi and computer access a factor in their decision to come to Schlotzsky's, while 6 percent said Wi-Fi access alone was why they were there....

But the CEO wasn't a geek; he liked seeing entire families or sports teams or groups of parents and kids come in and spent time using the high-speed connection. It's important to recall that a small but significant minority of Internet users have broadband; for the rest, Schlotzsky's offering is a profound (and free) pleasure.... [Wi-Fi Networking News]

This screams libraries to me! We already provide the high-speed access and the computers, so why is it so difficult for library directors to understand the benefit of adding wireless to the mix?

Maybe we just need the financial and marketing resources to do these kinds of surveys and promotions, but then it's a chicken and egg scenario, isn't it? It doesn't really matter if wireless users are the chicken or the egg, because they should be library users.

Microsoft's Real Definition of Security 05/04/2004 03:30 PM

A friend connects some dots:

1) Gates says repeatedly that security is job 1 at Microsoft, committing engineering time to it before other new products/features. 2) The next big WinXP service pack, first skedded for late last year and then this summer, is supposed to be devoted to big security fixes. 3) The WinXP service pack is delayed again. 4) Today, Microsoft a nnounces new Digital "Rights" Management.
"Ah," concludes my friend, "so that's what they meant by security."

STANFORD, Calif. -- Microsoft apparently got the hint: Palladium, its new scheme to fortify the next Windows operating system, win the ever-escalating virus wars, and knuckle down on users trying to share files, wasn't exactly causing the great PR buzz it anticipated. Objective folks who had seen the early plans zeroed in on the fact that under this idea, users were going to lose control of their computers due to monumental back-door access controlled by Microsoft. The company called it "trusted computing," and detractors immediately modified that to read "treacherous computing."

07/02/2004 09:36 AM
Using Microsoft's Internet Explorer Web browser to surf the Internet has become a marked risk — even with the latest security patches installed. That's the upshot of the discovery of yet another Internet Explorer security hole being exploited by intruders bent on swiping personal information from unwitting Internet users. The SANS Institute Internet Storm Center issued an alert this week about pop-up ads designed to download a program that keeps track any time a PC user clicks to the log-in page of 50 financial institutions worldwide. The program captures log-in information and sends it to another Web site, before the bank can encrypt the data.
