Global Dimming?!? In the second half of the 20th century, the world became, quite literally, a darker place. Defying expectation and easy explanation, hundreds of instruments around the world recorded a drop in sunshine reaching the surface of Earth, as much as 10 percent from the late 1950's to the early 90's, or 2 percent to 3 percent a decade. Has anyone been following this? Heat I might do without for a while, but I've grown very fond of light.

Petruccio, 45, who in the '70s donned a black leather suit as an Elvis impersonator, got the gig after he posted some of his work to an Elvis-memorabilia collector's Web site and fans contacted Graceland wanting to buy it.

Suddenly, Cingular-AT&T Wireless Merger
To Get More Scrutiny

Suddenly, Cingular-AT&T Wireless Merger
To Get More Scrutiny 07/15/2004 05:09 AM
Ever since the rumors began about big mobile carriers merging, it's been generally expected that any such merger wouldn't run into any sort of regulatory problems. After Cingular won the war for AT&T Wireless, most people expected that they wouldn't have much of a problem getting through the anti-trust review. However, it sounds like a few folks in the Justice Department have suddenly woken up and realized that maybe, just maybe, they should check this one out a bit more carefully. Apparently, the claim is that they want to make sure they have all their bases covered, since it's likely that this deal will set a precedent for future mobile mergers (which are still somewhat expected). Oddly, they also claim that the sudden concern is due to the realization that AT&T Wireless is the last major mobile phone carrier not backed by a Bell company. Apparently, someone forgot to include T-Mobile and Nextel in the discussion. T-Mobile is backed by Deutsche Telekom, but it's certainly not an American Bell company. Still, the Justice Department is suddenly worried that the Bells will absolutely dominate the mobile phone business (weren't they doing so already?) and keep out all kinds of competition. Again, this seems fairly easy to disprove (T-Mobile, Nextel...), but if they really feel the need for a little extra scrutiny, then let them have at it.

Turning WIPO into a real UN agency:
bl0gging from the sausage factory

Turning WIPO into a real UN agency:
bl0gging from the sausage factory 04/14/2005 12:47 PM
Cory Doctorow: This week sees the long-overdue meeting on the "Development Agenda" at the UN's World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), in which WIPO is meant to be redesigned to promote the UN's humanitarian objectives, instead of just ratcheting up more copyright, patent and trademark around the world, no matter what the consequence for development in the world's poorest country.

Two of my cow-orkers from EFF and several other colleagues are attending the meeting, and they're taking copious notes on the proceedings, blogging in near-real time as the deliberations unfold. WIPO's deliberations have been secret the only public accounts available have traditionally been sanitized versions that hide all the buried bodies. The presence of blogging public interest groups is having a marked effect on the proceedings; the last time I was there participating in this, the WIPO delegates were getting phone calls from their capitals in the afternoon about the stuff we'd reported on them saying in the morning. This real-time reporting creates new levels of transparency and accountability at WIPO, something that the apparatchiks there detest -- a representative from the Secretariat called it an "abuse of hospitality" for civil society groups to tell the world exactly what they're getting up to in Geneva.

The account of today's meeting is really engrossing. A group of over a dozen poor nations (the "Friends of Development") have presented a long, substantive proposal about how to reform IP in poor nations to encourage development. The US and other rich countries have come back with the ridiculous proposal that the way to help developing nations is to assign them with "buddies" from the developed world who will lend assistance in writing American-style copyright and patent laws in poor countries where they can barely afford to feed and shelter their citizens.

The developing nations are aggressively calling bullshit on this:

We would like to refer to other proposals referred to in the meeting. They show the commitment of good will to establish a proper development agenda at WIPO. Three proposals have one common element -- to limit the scope of the DA to technical assistance. Our delegation, of course, rejects this strategy. Our own proposal is concrete, and has specific policy actions.

Our paper presents concrete ways to achieve DA goals. We encourage Member States to make proposals based on the other elements of the Development Agenda.

On the US proposal, we observe that the premise that the partnership would be based from the GFoD perspective, the US focuses on strengthening IPRs. We do NOT share the views expressed in this document. Technical assistance should be tailor-made, appropriate to development needs.

The development dimension is not exhausted in the element contained in the US proposal.

Cingular, Sprint PCS, Verizon in
cellular data arms race 06/22/2004 05:30 PM
Cingular Wireless and Sprint PCS announced plans today to deploy high-speed cellular networks over the next two years, setting the stage for a multibillion-dollar high-speed data arms race with Verizon Wireless.

PCS Heads for 3G; Cingular Makes Plans,

Another Billion into Networks, as Sprint
PCS Heads for 3G; Cingular Makes Plans,
Too 06/22/2004 10:34 AM
Sprint PCS joins the third-generation cellular rush in the U.S. by committing a billion dollars to building a 1xEV-DO network: The company had previously signaled its interest in waiting and then deploying an EVDV (data/voice) network that might have had higher download speeds and integrated voice into the same 3G footprint. Now they say that some markets will have their brand of service year's end with many more in 2005. Cingular, meanwhile said today that UMTS could appear as soon as next year. Cingular had recently expressed doubts that with the current available spectrum they could deploy 3G data networks before 2006. Now, they plan a trial of two kinds of UTMS: one operates at 384 Kbps (unclear if this is the rated speed or the typical speed), and another at up to 14.4 Mbps. That's megabits per second. Trials will start in Atlanta this summer, and extend in 2005 to the rest of the country. AT&T Wireless, which Cingular is in the middle of acquiring, has reiterated its plans in the last few months to try UMTS's W-CDMA flavor in a few cities by the end of 2004. T-Mobile's plans are obscure, but EDGE (2.5G/100 Kbps) should be on its way. Nextel will most likely pursue a private cell data plan with higher speeds but that use none of the popular flavors. Suddenly, some towns with no-better-than-modem wireless speeds could have four competing cellular data networks with 100 to 400 Kbps average download speeds. (All of these flavors ostensibly have restricted uploads of about 50 Kbps, however.) Expect price competition. At $80 per month flat for Verizon Wireless's high-speed network, the race to the bottom will start in earnest. Verizon Wireless will still likely have a leg up by offering service first in most competitive cities....

Windows Found to Have Lower Total Cost
Of 0wnz0rship 08/13/2004 05:53 PM

CNet remarks on a study that pokes a little fun at the numerous MS-funded studies that suggest that Windows has a lower TCO, while Linux silently but surely gives you cancer. The study suggests that Windows also has a lower T0t4l c05t 0f 0wnz0rship, the cost a cracker has to pay in order to t0t4lly 0wnz0r your box.

Based on their tentative data, Immunity's researchers found that their average time to find a flaw in the Red Hat-sponsored Fedora Core 2 distribution of Linux was about six days--twice as long on average as it took to find previously unknown Windows vulnerabilities. Several factors affect that time, including better tools for finding flaws in Windows systems, better kernel-level defenses in Linux, and more known points in Windows to execute attack code, the researchers noted.

Six days is still a scary-low number when you think about it. The CNet article also doesn't mention the severity of the exploits.
