Has Violated My Copyright, And I Demand Justice- June 20, 2008 As far as I can tell, the Associated Press is sticking by its ridiculous and unlawful assertion that direct quotations, even short ones are copyright infringements and result in lawsuit threats and DMCA takedown notices. This story led us to ban the A.P., call the New York Times out on undisclosed conflicts of interest and begin to investigate some ridiculous organization called the Media Bloggers Association before getting bored and wandering off to other topics. But now the A.P. has gone...http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/315721004/ Eavesdropping encrypted compressed voice- June 20, 2008 Filed under: news, security hacksA team from Johns Hopkins University has discovered a way to eavesdrop on encrypted voice streams. Voice data like the kind used by Skype for its VoIP service sends encrypted packets of varying sizes for different sounds. The team learned that by simply measureing the size of the packets, they could determine what was being said with a high rate of accuracy. VoIP providers often use a variable bit rate to use bandwidth more efficiently, but it is this...http://www.hackaday.com/2008/06/19/eavesdropping-encrypted-compressed-voice/ Finding your startup's "moment"- June 17, 2008 There is a magical time in the relationship between products and peoples I referrer to as "the moment." "The moment" is the exact time when an individual, after engaging your product, "gets it." By "gets it" I mean they understand your product's value proposition at such a deep level that they: get excited have an epiphany of sorts can explain the value of your product to others easily It's a great exercise to look back at various services and "the moment" at which you got them...http://www.calacanis.com/2008/06/17/finding-your-startups-moment/ iPhone upgrade breakdown- June 10, 2008 Filed under: Retail, Wireless, iPhoneThere seems to be some confusion surrounding the leaked AT&T policy documents that Gizmodo obtained earlier today. Because AT&T may be selling unsubsidized phones (though please note that it appears that even unsubsidized phones will have to be activated with an AT&T voice and data plan in-store), existing AT&T customers are understandably confused about their upgrade options.Assuming that the memo is real and that AT&T&39;s policy...http://feeds.tuaw.com/~r/weblogsinc/tuaw/~3/308965156/ Conference 'Booth Babes' <br> How to Diminish Your Company's Image- June 10, 2008 Internet Retailer is taking place in Chicago today. I won't have a chance to visit the show, but I am 90% sure that some companies will do what they can to entice people to visit their booths - aka hiring Booth Babes. You may think, &39;How dare you use some sexist language&39; Agreed, however, I share the term that is colloquially used across blogs and conference goers. Since my first Doubleclick conference to CES in Las Vegas to my most recent trek to ad:tech San Francisco, I come across...http://www.chicagotechreport.com/2008/06/conference-boot.html Ron May, A Reporting Staple in Chicago TechDigital Media <br>Gets A Lesson in Marketing from Gary Vaynerchuk- June 4, 2008 If you've been to a Chicago event and approached by a man who demands your business card, there is a good chance that this gentleman is Ron May. Famous for the May Report, Chicago's early version of Valleywag, Ron's seen start ups and buy outs - and always there with his tape recorder to capture it all. I've gotten to know Ron well over the years and decided to put together this montage of his recent appearance at last week's Tech Cocktail conference. I, along with another gal weren't too...http://www.chicagotechreport.com/2008/06/ron-may-a-repor.html Meerkat: simplified SSH tunneling- June 3, 2008 Filed under: Software, SecurityI would wager that most of the people who know they need an SSH tunnel also know the Terminal commands to make it happen. But if those people happen to be Mac users, it's quite likely they wouldn't be averse to having menu bar access, Growl integration, Bonjour capability and a nice GUI to handle their tunnels. And to those who just know they want secure browsing, email and other network activities but aren't SSH ninjas, such things might be even more...http://feeds.tuaw.com/~r/weblogsinc/tuaw/~3/303368838/ |
