Dead pixels instead of dead trees

Dead pixels instead of dead trees 12/22/2004 01:49 AM

I love books, I love browsing stacks, I love libraries, I love Powell's in Portland, I like collecting books, I always have a stack nearby to read, I love looking through picture books, and I love books even though I didn't really become much of a reader until the end of my college years (I never read for fun until then). Plunging into the Internet fed my book addiction further, as I had to read dozens of computer classics to get up to speed and stay ahead of the curve. Every computer desk I've had until recently was flanked by bookshelves loaded with titles.

Earlier this year, I remember hearing Cory Doctorow give a talk about how ebooks were going to rule the world and folks would abandon the printed page for the laptop screen. I thought it was a good talk, but I felt the thesis was a bit ahead of its time. There's really no comparison between curling up with a book and a blanket in front of a fireplace, versus trying to read thousands of words on a screen.

Last weekend I was doing some house cleaning and I kept finding stacks of books. A stack next to the reading chairs. A stack on the coffee table. A stack beside my bed. All these stacks contained books I bought in 2004, but never read. Some, I got halfway through, but even more I got maybe ten pages in. A few I never even cracked open.

When I think back to the last three books I enjoyed, they were all heard on my iPod, while on a road trip. I can't recall the last book I finished in my hands.

I'm going to take a holiday trip soon to a fairly remote location where there's not much to do besides read. I'm going to sit and read the only book I've wanted to read this year, and I have a feeling it might just be one of the last dead tree books I read for a long time.

As much as I didn't agree with Cory back during his E-tech talk, I'm finally realizing it's coming true in my own life. I read thousands of words everyday on my monitors and I rarely take time to read anything on the printed page, and there's no sign of reversal on that trend. The scariest thing for the bookfan inside me is that I don't think it's bad thing, either.

Long live the ebook. Long live the audiobook. So long, dead trees.

Dead Like Me - Dead or Alive?

Dead Like Me - Dead or Alive? 02/01/2005 09:59 PM
In television these days, there is hardly a show that doesn’t have the blood flowing or the boobies showing. It is hard to find a show that makes it on wit alone. Till a few weeks ago, I thought I had found the saving grace with Showtime’s original show, Dead Like Me. I guess a few executives didn’t share my opinion. The fight is far from over though. In the past shows would have died…

Wow, they really did kill MP3.com. So much of the net's history gone in a flash, I do hope they create some mechanism (that isn't laden with DRM) to bring back music hosting or anyone that can record a song at home on their PC.

I bet GarageBand.com takes off in the absence of MP3.com, they were like a better version, though they require users and musicians to actively participate for it to work.

DOS -- not dead yet

DOS -- not dead yet 12/05/2003 03:21 AM
DOS -- that's a word you may not have heard in a while. After all, Microsoft proudly claimed "DOS is dead" when it released Windows XP. DOS is a stable and well-known operating system, but the same can be said for Linux, and some might argue that even Windows XP has become stable. So why would you run DOS when you have these newer, better operating systems?

PPTP is Dead, Too

PPTP is Dead, Too 12/22/2004 01:27 AM
Microsoft's VPN protocol PPTP is now dead, too: It's been known for a while that MSCHAPv2 authentication was a bad idea, and PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) relies by default on this method of credentials. George Ou explains how Joshua Wright, developer of the Cisco LEAP breaking software Asleap has simply added PPTP breaking to the mix. Both protocols are weak enough that a weak key choice--short and found in a dictionary with some variation--can be broken by iterating through a very large database of precomputed password hashes that a cracker has put together in advance. They don't have to crack the authentication process, just grab the transaction and run it on their own computer against their hashes at a rate of 45 million passwords per second on a normal desktop computer, Ou writes. Laptops would be slightly slower. Ou notes that he thought LEAP and PPTP had similar weaknesses, and Wright's update--made only after contacting Microsoft and being quite decidedly rebuffed over his concern--shows he was correct. Long, complex, user-managed passwords can still protect PPTP because this is a brute-force attack. You can also switch to using EAP-TLS for the credential exchange in PPTP, but that then requires corporate public-key infrastructure. WPA has a similar problem with weak passwords but it's tied to an SSID. So you can't precompute generally for passwords as with the LEAP and PPTP weakness, but you could precompute passwords against common SSIDs, like linksys. Assuming, as wardrivers have discovered, that the vast majority of base stations have a default SSID, this makes it a little simpler, but not trivial. Likewise, only weak WPA passwords can be broken, so you're stuck for people who throw in a couple of exclamation points. I'm just testing Buffalo's new VPN (PPTP) router, and discovered that they set the default SSID to the MAC address of the unit, which, although ugly looking in a list of available networks, would defeat a precomputed default SSID password database. (Thanks to Robert Moskowitz for a prod to clarify this.) When I say a security protocol is dead, I don't mean that it's actually impossible to use. It's just that you can no longer use it with any degree of assurance that the purpose for which it was intended can be fulfilled. It's like driving a car with a cracked windshield. It keeps the bugs off, but it's not really safe to drive...
