The New
White-Collar Crime:
Techno-Slacking
It's getting easier than ever to convince your customers, supervisors and employees that you're hard at work -- firing off e-mail messages and opening files on your office PC while you're really attending your kids' soccer game or sleeping in. Services like GoToMyPC.com enable users to manipulate their office computers by remote control -- even going so far as to move the cursor on the screen, open documents and print them on the networked office printer. E-mail timers allow workers to compose messages during the day and then queue them to be sent hours after they've gone to bed, giving the impression that they're up burning the midnight oil. Instant Message software can be reconfigured so that the "idle" message that pops up signaling inactivity is disabled, making users look perpetually available. And BlackBerry aficionados can change their settings to make on-the-road e-mail look like it came straight from the office PC. Psychologists call these activities "impression management," but other see signs of a disturbing trend: "If you're out playing golf, and you look like you've spent four hours in the office… If everybody does that, the company goes bankrupt," says Stuart Gilman, director of the Ethics Resource Center in Washington. A recent survey conducted by the Society for Human Resource Management found that 59% of HR professionals had personally observed employees lying about the number of hours they'd worked, and 53% said they'd seen employees lying to a supervisor, a jump of eight percentage points in six years.

Sony's Next
Generation Videogame:
PlayStation Portable
Sony announced its latest salvo in the videogame wars: a small, lightweight videogame device called PlayStation Portable (PSP for short), which will hit the shelves toward the end of 2004 and will feature a 4.5-inch screen and a high-end processor for running games. The PSP will be capable of linking by wire to other PSPs, cell phones, PCs and Sony's PlayStation 2. Sony Computer Entertainment president Ken Kutaragi says the PSP will be "the Walkman of the 21st century."

Web Publishers
Expand
to Old Media
Online publishers are venturing into radio and television, a sure sign that digital media are going mainstream. This week Slate announced it will be working with National Public Radio to produce a daily radio show, and The Smoking Gun, a celebrity crime site, has plans to develop two half-hour shows for broadcast on Court TV. Meanwhile, Classmates.com is working with Twentieth Television to create a reality-TV show based on reuniting long-lost school buddies. "This is a sign that these companies have reached a certain amount of staying power and are trying to satisfy their audiences in new markets," says a Jupiter Research analyst. "Modern media companies must be in different mediums." Traditional media ventures have long since broadened their outreach, cranking out magazines and TV shows as well as Web sites, but the migration of Web enterprises toward TV and radio is a fairly new phenomenon. Several efforts by companies such as Pseudo.com and Digital Entertainment Network were cut short a couple of years ago by the technology bust, but Web entrepreneurs have high hopes for the latest efforts. "NPR's loyal audience and nationwide reach coupled with Slate's innovative delivery of news and information is the perfect marriage of radio and the Internet," says Slate publisher Cyrus Krohn.

Stanford Develops
Super-Speedy
Web Page Rankings
Researchers at Stanford University have developed several techniques designed to make calculating Web page rankings, such as those used by the Google search engine, up to five times faster. Currently, the ranking algorithm used by Google can take several days to search and rank 3 billion Web pages. To speed up Google's Computing PageRank algorithm the Stanford team used three strategies. First, they employed "extrapolation" methods, which make some broad assumptions about the Web's link structure that aren't necessarily true, but do speed up the PageRank process. The results can then be refined using the original PageRank software. A second strategy involved an enhancement called "BlockRank," which eliminated the redundancy of ranking pages that all belong to the same Web site. Finally, the team used "Adaptive PageRank" to eliminate more redundancy caused by reprocessing Web pages that have been ranked early in the ranking procedure. "Further speed-ups are possible when we use all these methods," says Stanford graduate student Sepandar Kamvar. "Our preliminary experiments show that combining the methods will make the computation of PageRank up to a factor of five faster." The hope is that eventually Google's ranking mechanism could calculate personalized page rankings dictated by an individual's interests, or customized to a particular topic."

Microsoft's Licensing
and Weak Security:
Linux World's Choice
In a new report called "A Look at Alternatives to Microsoft," the Gartner research firm says that governments throughout the world are encouraging departments and businesses to consider alternatives to support Linux, an increasingly popular alternative to Microsoft's Windows operating system. This development is taking place in China, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, and several European and South American countries. Gartner says the attractiveness of Linux seems to be attributable to widespread perceptions that Microsoft insists on unattractive licensing arrangements and offers inadequate software protections against security breaches.

South Korea's "Citizen
Reporters" Account
80% News Coverage
The increasingly popular South Korean online news site ohmynews.com has more than 26,300 of its readers registered as "citizen reporters" who account for about 80% of the site news coverage (the rest of which is written by ohmynews's 38 professional writers and editors). The
mainstream press is critical of ohmynews's journalistic methods, but senior editor and founder Oh Yeon-ho says that his intention is to "say goodbye to 20th century journalism," by showing that every citizen can be a reporter. "We put everything out there and people judge the truth for themselves."

Microsoft PR Kills
UK MSN iLoo
Portable Toilet Project
Microsoft and its public relations firm are now saying that what they themselves thought was a hoax (the development of the iLoo, a portable toilet complete with wireless keyboard and Internet access) actually was a real project of the company's MSN group in the UK. The original press release indicated that the iLoo would offer its users "a unique experience." An MSN product manager now says: " "We jumped the gun basically yesterday in confirming that it was a hoax and in fact it was not," said Lisa Gurry, MSN group product manager. "Definitely we're going to be taking a good look at our communication processes internally. It's definitely not how we like to do PR at Microsoft." In any event, whether really a hoax or really real, the project is now dead -- flushed, as it were.

New Hack Weapons
Boost Arsenal
Against DDoS Attacks
Two graduate students from Carnegie Mellon University have proposed different ideas for defeating the dastardly denial-of-service attacks that can overwhelm and disable a vulnerable ISP. One suggestion, from Abraham Yaar, takes advantage of the unused bits in the headers of network traffic to establish a "data fingerprint" based on the route the information traveled through the network. If a server came under attack, network administrators could use the digital fingerprint to decide whether to block all traffic with the same fingerprint. The second proposal, presented by XiaoFeng Wang, suggests that servers use "puzzles" -- problems that occupy a certain amount of processing time to solve -- as a way to discourage any computer from sending too much mail at any one time. While a similar idea has been proposed before, Wang added an auction-like transaction to further allow legitimate traffic to win out over attacks. "Our mechanism enables each client to 'bid' for resources by tuning out the difficulty of the puzzles it solves and to adapt its bidding strategy in response to apparent attacks," says Wang.

New IBM Mainframes
Will Offer
On-Demand Computing
IBM is introducing a new line of mainframe computers humorously code-named T-Rex (getting back at critics who wrote mainframes off as dinosaurs) and more formally known as z990 systems. The z990 promises an increase of 40% in processing power over previous models, and lets customers turn processors on and off as the demand for processing fluctuates (and pay only for the processing actually used). It's part of IBM's strategy to offer on-demand computing.

Google Local
News Search Service
Without Borders
Google is expanding its popular news service overseas, establishing local news search services in Canada, the U.K. and Australia. The new ventures will enable users to "track topics of local interest, as well as those from around the world," says Google co-founder Larry Page. At the same time, Google has begun staffing its New York office, with the goal of hiring 100 employees for what will become its East Coast headquarters. The timing of the announcement highlights Google's ascendance in the search market -- last week, rival Overture said it would be cutting 100 jobs (although Overture was quick to say its layoffs resulted from the need to integrate its recent acquisitions). Meanwhile, Overture CEO Ted Meisel says he anticipates strong growth in the coming year, and predicted the Internet search and paid listings market would soar to $15 billion a year by 2008.

iLoo Internet
Toilet a UK
MSN's Hoax
The iLoo, described in a press release last week as a portable toilet with wireless keyboard and an extending height-adjustable plasma screen in front of the seat, doesn't exist: it was just a joke. Microsoft says the hoax press release came from the company's MSN division in the U.K. and was not a "Microsoft-sanctioned communication." It all just goes to show that you can't believe what you read anymore, not even the toilet jokes.

Oxblood's account
of Bill Brown's
book tour event
"So I went to the big road show last night [in Toronto], which was lots of fun. I was dressed in a casual yet fashionable sense and turned many heads when I went in. Then I did up my fly and wasn't bothered for the rest for the night.
Bill burst into tears when he saw me because he was so happy. It was very touching. Then I slapped him and told him to toughen up. He was fine almost immediately.
There were several zine authors, and a few bands at the event. Bill was first up. For those of you who aren't aware, Bill wrote his first novel called "Saugus To The Sea" and it is available NOW.
What was interesting about Bill's reading was that he didn't read. He showed slides. Many slides. Some had interesting stories behind them, and others had Bill's stories behind them. There was even a curious double exposed picture of Bill's mother reclining on a fortress-like wall with a disembodied hand clasping her thigh. I was strangely aroused. And after several more slides of restaurant interiors and a tree that Bill couldn't identify, it was all over. There was wild applause by a roomful of people who had been drinking beer for at least an hour."

Big-dollar Bush
Donors Revealed
in Court Documents
A network of big donors to George W. Bush called "the Pioneers" was far more extensive than previously known, producing perhaps half the record-smashing $100 million for his 2000 presidential race, court documents show.
While the Bush campaign initially made public a list of 226 members of the Pioneer network, there actually were more than 500, The Dallas Morning News and New York Times reported today.
As the president prepares for re-election, he is expected to tap the same network of wealthy donors to build what Bush advisers hope will be a $200 million campaign treasury.
Half of the Pioneers are from Texas. Among the previously undisclosed names are House Speaker Tom Craddick of Midland, Dallas Stars and Texas Rangers owner Tom Hicks, professional golfer Ben Crenshaw and Austin lobbyist Randy DeLay, brother of U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay of Sugar Land.
Among the others are Washington lobbyist Haley Barbour and Hollywood movie producer Jerry Weintraub.
Although each Pioneer pledged to raise $100,000 for the Bush campaign, some produced three to five times that amount.

"Salam Pax"
Plays Americans for
Fools in Iraq
by David Warren
The star of the blog "Where is Raed?" is part of an anti-Western conspiracy
"Salam Pax" is rising as one of the media stars in postwar Iraq. He began blogging from Baghdad well before the war, and has come back sporadically since. (He calls his blog "Where is Raed?") He is the darling of fellow bloggers in the West, who light up with links whenever he appears on the Web. He has been written about in the New Yorker magazine and elsewhere, and his jottings copied into the Guardian in the Britain. Not bad for a person whose very existence has been skeptically queried. And who does a superb job of covering his traces, creating fresh firewalls around himself in the very moments when he appears to be giving his identity away.
I am quite certain he exists. That isn't the scandal. He has a family and a history and even a real-life name. But without compromising sources, and thus endangering lives, including Salam's own, one may discover a great deal about him from carefully reading his blog, and following obvious leads from there.
Salam is the scion of a senior figure from Iraq's Baathist nomenclature. He was brought up at least partly in Vienna, which is the OPEC headquarters; his father was therefore an oilman, and possibly a former head of Iraq's OPEC mission. Another clue is a hint that his grandfather was an Iraqi tribal chief, from which I infer that his father was one of the Iraqi tribal chiefs that Saddam Hussein rewarded for loyalty, outside the Tikrit clan.
Salam has an easy familiarity not only with the upscale Baghdad in which he has been living, and which he selectively describes through the jaded eyes of a true insider, but also with most Western fashions and things. This is what gives him his plausibility to Western readers. He drops many hints that he is a homosexual, suggesting reckless candour. (I'm inclined to doubt these.) His English is superb and colloquial. He has those Tariq Aziz qualities. There are nightmares in his background, but the foreground is smooth, charming, self-confident, man of the world -- tending involuntarily to smugness. He can tell you anything, and seems to enjoy putting on the show.
He refers casually to pseudonymous friends, who are also children of the deposed Baathist elect. They all know their way around but, unlike their parents, have never carried the weight of responsibility. They were of a class, but not yet fully in it -- products of a very luxurious bubble. Or perhaps Salam himself or any one of them was directly employed by Mr. Saddam's very extensive, and in places quite sophisticated, network of Soviet-modelled spy and disinformation networks -- we cannot know yet.
What we can know, just by reading his blog, is that this Salam is up to no good. He is spreading "inside views" of the new Iraq, not only to the blogosphere, but directly among the journalists still encamped at the Meridian (formerly Palestine, formerly Meridian) hotel. Not the "embeds" who've gone home after remarkable learning experiences, but those "hacks" not yet transferred to the next breaking news story, and so still kicking around this mysterious city of Baghdad, trying to figure out what's happening without exposing themselves overmuch to danger.
And they lap it up. They depend on translators and guides to show them around, and seem only partially aware that the people who've come forward to provide them with these services are almost all unemployed former Baath regime officials. (They trust them because they speak English so well.)

Political Struggle is
Between "Dominators"
and "Conciliators"
Dominators rule
by Michael Krepon
Forget hawks and doves. The post–Cold War political struggle is between “dominators” and “conciliators.” Right now, thanks especially to Osama bin Laden, those who believe U.S. national security lies in raw military power, not cooperative agreements, are in control.
The Cold War battles between hawks and doves are history. The new fault line in U.S. national security strategy is between “dominators” and “conciliators.” Both groups can be easily caricatured.
Dominators believe in leading by example, not by consensus or building coalitions. They are unapologetic about the primacy of U.S. power and the ineffectuality of treaties. Conciliators are protective of treaties by nature. They seek to devalue weapons of mass destruction—by example, by multilateral diplomacy, and by strengthening arms control regimes. Conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer has described the differences between the two groups as those who believe in power pitted against those who believe in paper.
Thanks to Osama bin Laden, dominators now rule the roost in Washington. The terrorist attacks against the World Trade Center and the Pentagon gave President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, and Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld wide latitude to implement their preferred remedies. Notwithstanding the close division on Capitol Hill between Republicans and Democrats, U.S. national security policy is now heavily lopsided toward power projection and away from treaty regimes and preventive diplomacy.
The resulting imbalance is not sustainable. By elevating preemption from a military option to a doctrine, the administration has made coalition-building increasingly difficult. And the more the Bush administration wages war, the harder it will become to recruit followers.
Power-projection capabilities, combined with the celebration of triumphant American values, constitute far too narrow a base on which to maintain U.S. diplomatic leadership. The hubris reflected in the Bush administration’s National Security Strategy invites not just the scorn of diplomatic historians, but also a serious reckoning ahead. Overreaching will eventually generate a corrective balance, which could come at considerable cost. When military options are strengthened at the expense of other instruments of national protection, lives are unnecessarily placed at risk. Battles against proliferators cannot be truly won when treaties embodying disarmament norms are scorned or systematically weakened.

David Nelson,
could you step aside
for a few moments?
The War on David Nelson
by Margie Boule
If your name is David Nelson you can expect to be hassled, delayed, questioned and searched before being allowed to board aircraft anywhere in the United States for the foreseeable future.
Since the horrific attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, the federal Transportation Security Administration has, without any public announcement, created a two-tiered list of names "to protect our aviation system," says Nico Melendez, the agency spokesman for the West Coast, who is based in Los Angeles.
The name David Nelson apparently is on one of those lists.
"There is a 'no-fly' list," he says. "That's people who cannot fly, period," because they've been determined to be or are suspected of being "a threat to civil aviation or to national security."
Details about the list are "considered sensitive security information and cannot be released to the public," Nico says, but the Wall Street Journal suggests there are about 300 names on the "no-fly" list.
There's another list that Nico calls the "selectees list." Might as well call them "suspectees." This is a much larger list of names, accumulated, Nico says, from information obtained from intelligence agencies and the airlines. These folks may be allowed to fly but only after they're intensely scrutinized by airline, law enforcement and security personnel.
People whose names are on the two lists undergo what is not a routine security screening, in which you're asked to remove your shoes or empty your pockets. This week 18 men named David Nelson, all residents of Oregon, confirmed they have been repeatedly delayed at airport counters and security checkpoints in the last year or so.
Take the February experience of Dave Nelson of Salem, a lobbyist whose largest client is the Oregon Seed Council. Dave often travels for business, sometimes accompanying the governor on trade missions. "We were on our way to a trade show in Atlanta," Dave says, "trying to use the auto-check-in for baggage. We punched in our information, and the computer wouldn't accept it."
Dave and his wife, Leah, stood in line until an agent was available at the Delta counter. "We gave him our info, and he kept punching on his computer for about 10 or 15 minutes. . . . Then he says, 'I have to go in the back room.' He took off, and we stood there another 10 minutes. I asked L1 another clerk to find out where he'd gone."
After more waiting, they were told a supervisor was being sought. "Nobody would tell us what was going on," Dave says. "It's been 30 or 35 minutes by now. Finally the guy came out and said, 'You'll have to talk to the cop behind you.' We turned around, and there's a security guy." Dave says the officer told him there was a list of suspicious people, "and you're on the list."
Dave was asked for I.D. and turned over his driver's license. "They called downtown and ran a criminal check, and I was clean. Then the counter clerk had to call national Delta and get permission for me to go on the airplane. We were now pretty close to takeoff time." Dave and his wife were issued tickets, but again at the gate Dave was thoroughly frisked, searched and identified.
At the airport in Atlanta on the way back, the same thing happened. "The woman punched in my name and said, 'Oh, no, Mr. Nelson . . .' "

Verizon to
Transform Payphones
to Wifi Terminals
Verizon Communications, following the lead of Bell Canada, is planning to install WiFi terminals in payphones located in busy urban areas, according president Lawrence Babbo. "All of our payphone people have already told us (that the phones would make good wireless access points.) That will probably be the vehicle we use, probably in Manhattan." Verizon already offers WiFi equipment to its DSL customers, and last November began offering WiFi connectivity to small and medium-sized businesses. Bell Canada has been testing the concept at payphones in Toronto and Montreal, and several independent phone companies are interested in following suit.

NEC Set
to Launch
Mobilepro Handheld
NEC will launch its MobilePro 900 in the next couple of weeks, pitching the high-end handheld to niche markets such as hospitals and businesses with dispersed sales forces. The MobilePro 900 is the latest "tweener" device aimed at users who need the mobility of a handheld combined with the power of a laptop. Like a mininotebook, the 1.8-pound MobilePro 900 features a keyboard almost as large as those found on regular notebooks and an 8.1-inch screen. "Doctors like the PDA layout, but they found they had a high attrition rate with PDAs because everybody drops them," says a NEC marketing director. Unlike tablet PCs or the upcoming mini-PCs, NEC's device does not contain a built-in hard drive, and it runs Windows CE rather than a full-fledged PC operating system, but it features a longer battery life than its tablet-style counterparts -- up to eight hours on a single charge or five hours when connected to a WiFi network. The MobilePro 900 will be priced at $899.

All Eyes of
Music and Film
Industry on iTunes
The success of Apple's newly launched iTunes Music Store has drawn the attention of potential rivals, who will go head-to-head with the popular service when Apple extends it to Microsoft-based PCs at the end of this year. Among the contenders are pressplay and MusicNet, backed by the major record labels; Listen.com's Rhapsody; Musicmatch; FullAudio; and Echo, a music venture backed by Best Buy, Borders Group, Virgin Entertainment Group and others. In addition, AOL plans to introduce a pay-per-download service late this year and Amazon and MSN also are exploring the possibility. "Everyone in the music industry, and the film industry, and others, are looking at Apple and saying, 'Oh my God,'" says Warner Music Group executive VP Paul Vidich. "There's no question it has sparked new interest." Part of the allure of Apple's iTunes is the flexible arrangements CEO Steve Jobs negotiated with the record labels, which enable users to move their 99-cent songs to an unlimited number of portable iPod players, and burn as many as 10 identical CDs containing the same playlist. It's anticipated that many of the competing services will try to duplicate this flexibility, although Apple concedes it will be difficult to match the simplicity and elegance it's achieved with its own hardware and operating system. Meanwhile, several potential online-music players are staying on the sidelines for now. "Apple's success in the Mac environment hasn't yet proven that this is a real business with decent margins," says Yahoo VP Dave Goldberg. "If it is, a lot of major players will get into the space."
