News Article Friday, October 8th 2004, 12:10pm EDT Fears over adult-only service for mobiles. Mobile phone users could be able to download pornography, violent video games and gambling sites under a program soon to be available to Optus subscribers. The company is likely to join Hutchison Telecommunications and introduce restricted-access services for its mobile customers, despite consumer group fears. Expected to be known as Optus Zoo Adult, the service would allow subscribers aged 18 and over to download adult services to their mobile phone. However, Optus acting director of mobile partners Chris Lane would not confirm speculation the carrier was about to expand its presence in the lucrative premium services market. News Article Friday, October 8th 2004, 12:09pm EDT AdultShop sues over online mess. Online porn broker AdultShop.com has launched a multi-million-dollar legal action against the Queensland businessmen who sold the company its online pornography division in an ill-fated deal that brought the country's corporate watchdog to the door. AdultShop bought online erotica business Today's Success from Dean Shannon and Steve Jones three years ago, paying the pair about $12 million in cash and shares only for the deal to turn sour when credit-card processing problems caused a shock profit warning and a plunge in the share price. Last year, AdultShop wrote off the remaining value of Today's Success, but yesterday it moved to recoup some of its losses when it launched legal action in the WA Supreme Court against Mr Shannon, Mr Jones and E-Millions Pty Ltd. News Article Friday, October 8th 2004, 12:09pm EDT A new Trojan horse program that attacks and removes troublesome advertising software, known as "adware," is circulating on the Internet, according to antivirus company Symantec. The program, called Downloader.Lunii, was discovered earlier this week. When run, it attempts to kill off computer processes and delete files used by common adware programs like Powerscan and BargainBuddy. However, Lunii is not entirely benevolent. Like other Trojan horse programs, it also modifies the configuration of Microsoft Windows machines and attempts to download files from a remote location, Symantec warns.

A flaw in Microsoft Word 2000, and possibly Word 2002 as well, could be used by hackers to crash PCs or perhaps run other code on the compromised machine, a security firm said Thursday. According to an alert from Copenhagen-based Secunia, the bug in Word stems from an input validation error within the parsing of document files, and if exploited could cause a stack-based buffer overflow that in turn leads to a denial-of-service (DoS) and a crash. The bug has been confirmed in Word 2000, but also reported (though not confirmed) in Word 2002, the version in Office XP. News Article Friday, October 8th 2004, 12:06pm EDT Google Goes After Amazon in Book Indexing. Taking aim at Amazon.com, Google introduced a feature Wednesday that lets users search through pages of books online. The site invites publishers to include their entire books in its index, and more than a dozen publishers have signed up. Google Print will search books according to key words and return a handful of titles at the top of the results. Though Google will scan the entire text of the books, the new feature won't let people read entire books online. Publishers choose how much of the text is made available for users to browse through. Google profits by adding its contextually targeted advertising on the book pages. News Article Friday, October 8th 2004, 12:06pm EDT First legal blitz launched against UK music sharers.

The internet portal wanted to close most of its inactive mail accounts, but included many active ones as well.

A further 27 UK sites have been ordered to change the content on their sites while 40 are still under investigation by the Office of Fair Trading (OFT). The clampdown follows an international sweep by 31 countries of hundreds of sites suspected of ripping off punters. Among the trawl were sites targeting children with XXX images for mobile phones plus expensive ring tones and games. Other scams included "work at home and earn a fortune schemes", "get-rich-quick" schemes and lottery scams.

Cheney: Weapons Report Justifies Iraq War News Article Thursday, October 7th 2004, 11:43am EDT Evasive Angles and TTB Productions Appeal Cal/OSHA Citations. Evasive Angles and TTB Productions, both Adult companies owned by T.T. Boy, have each filed a letter of intent to appeal citations from California's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Cal/OSHA) totaling $30,560 for violations of health and safety regulations related to the exposure of three performers to HIV earlier this year. The letter of intent, which was filed September 23, just eight days after the citations were issued, began an appeal process that could last more than a year. “The reason is that is there is such a huge volume of appeals working their way through the system that it takes that long to get a hearing date,” Cal/OSHA spokesperson Dean Fryer told AVN.com. News Article Thursday, October 7th 2004, 11:42am EDT Patent laws convey a message: If you invest a significant amount of time, energy and money in an invention, someone else can't simply come along and profit from your investment without paying you. Patents guarantee that if someone gets to recoup that investment, that someone is you. It seems fair. Without that guarantee, you might not bother to make the investment in the first place, which in turn undermines an important incentive to innovation. The potential for personal enrichment and, in the case of publicly held companies, stockholder value, is a strong incentive that encourages innovation in many fields. On these grounds, I agree that people should have a right to protect their inventions from being copied. On the other hand, some of the so-called inventions receiving patents are either too obvious to deserve a patent or are so simple, that the enrichment possibilities (should a patent be awarded) are entirely disproportionate to the investment that produced the invention. News Article Thursday, October 7th 2004, 11:41am EDT Blocking porn legal, Korean court says. A three-judge panel at the Seoul District Court rejected an appeal by Internet users, who claimed that the government had infringed upon their "right to pursue happiness" when it blocked access to pornography sites on the Internet. The suit had been dismissed earlier by a single judge at the same court. Twenty-one irritated Web surfers filed suit against the government and KT, the telecommunications service provider, seeking compensation for their mental distress. The court said, "The current law does not regulate or punish those who seek access to pornography sites, but several laws prohibit the manufacturing and distribution of pornography, so the government's measures are not unlawful." An Information Ministry committee asked KT in June 2002 to block access to 25 sites the committee said were pornographic.

You've probably read 1000 times that "the money's in the list." If you're an Internet or email marketer, that's only partly true. The truth is that the money is in properly written emails, that get delivered to your list members. That last part is what most online marketers are missing! An article in the June 2004 issue of Time Magazine reported that 40% to 70% of email sent to the four major ISPs is deleted at the server. Those ISPs are MSN (including Hotmail), Yahoo, Earthlink and AOL. That simply means that there's a very good chance that your legitimate email is not getting through to those subscribers using those ISPs.

News Article Thursday, October 7th 2004, 11:31am EDT After four days of painstaking negotiations, technology and consumer groups said they have failed to reach a consensus with the entertainment industry on the language of the Induce Act, a proposed bill making it illegal to encourage copyright infringement.

The technology and consumer advocacy groups sent letters to the committee Wednesday urging them not to move forward with the legislation. In its original form, the Inducing Infringement of Copyrights Act (SB2560) would hold technology companies liable for manufacturing products that encourage people to infringe copyrights.

News Article Wednesday, October 6th 2004, 1:12pm EDT Acacia hits Wi-Fi hotspots with page redirect royalty claim. US wireless internet service providers have been hit with demands for hefty royalty payments from an intellectual property exploitation company claiming it owns gateway page redirection. Acacia Technologies last week began sending details of a patent it owns which details the process by which a WISP's servers redirect connected computers' browsers to a login page, Wi-Fi Networking News reports. The patent in question is 6,226,677, and was acquired by Acacia from LodgeNet. Granted in May 2001, the patent application was originally filed in January 1999, long before the Wi-Fi hotspot business emerged. Curiously, Nomadix, a company that sells network access control software to WISPs, announced earlier this year that it had been granted a similar patent, number 6,636,894. Nomadix' patent describes "systems and methods for redirecting users having transparent computer access to a network using a gateway device having redirection capability". Acacia's simply talks about "controlled communications over a global computer network". Processing Wednesday, October 6th 2004, 1:11pm EDT Deltino offers new payments solution.

News Article Wednesday, October 6th 2004, 1:08pm EDT Which Candidate Is More Tech-Friendly? Senator John Kerry, Democratic challenger to U.S. President George Bush, would seek more government involvement on issues such as broadband adoption, cybersecurity, and spam, while Bush, if reelected, would continue to take a more market-driven approach to those issues, a panel of Washington, D.C., technology experts predicted Tuesday.Predicting the impact of a Bush or Kerry presidency on other tech-related issues proved difficult for the panel, however. Congress in 2005 is likely to start looking at ways to rewrite the Telecommunications Act of 1996, but most of that initiative will come from Congress, not the president, the panel agreed Tuesday. It's also difficult to predict the effect of the presidential election on two important issues before the U.S. Federal Communications Commission--reforming intercarrier compensation and reclaiming unused broadband spectrum.

The company's commitment to VoIP, however, dates back to September 2001, when it launched a service powered by Dialpad for $9.99 a month. News Article Wednesday, October 6th 2004, 1:06pm EDT Web Industry Still Flies Blind. Help me out, would you? I want to find out how many people visited Wired News last month. If you did, please phone the two ratings agencies charged with figuring out who's hot and who's not in cyberspace. Just tell them I sent you. "What?" you say. "That's no way to measure a site's traffic." Of course, you're right. But it might not be any less accurate than the numbers that Nielsen/NetRatings and comScore Media Metrix come up with each month. Both employ panels of web surfers -- in Nielsen's case, about 37,000 people; comScore, 1.5 million -- who allow the companies to install monitoring software on their computers to track the websites they visit. There are also incentives: Nielsen promises $50 a year to home users ($100 if you consent to do it at work), while comScore offers free virus protection, an internet accelerator program to speed up dialup connections, and even sweepstakes prizes. News Article Wednesday, October 6th 2004, 1:05pm EDT Puppet oral sex goes against grain for US censors. The latest feature film from the creators of South Park is facing the box office kiss of death NC-17 rating because of a scene showing simulated oral sex between marionettes.The makers of Team America: World Police have reportedly gone to great lengths, modifying the offending scene nine times for submission to the Motion Picture Association of America, the US film classification authority. They are keen to secure an R rating, which would allow under-18s to see the film when accompanied by an adult.The makers, directors Matt Stone and Trey Parker and producer Scott Rudin, are contesting the MPAA classification, saying that the film doesn't show anything that's not been seen before in other R-rated movies. And besides, Rudin told the Hollywood Reporter, "our characters are made of wood and have no genitalia. If the puppets did to each other what we show them doing, all they'd get is splinters."

Lawmakers fear that a lengthy conference could delay final passage of anti-spyware legislation by both houses of Congress. News Article Wednesday, October 6th 2004, 12:53pm EDT EBay asks for new patent trial. EBay has asked an appeals court for a new trial over claims that its online auction house infringes patents held by Virginia-based MercExchange. After a month-long trial last year, a jury ruled that eBay's direct sales transactions, the "buy it now" option, did involve an already patented process. The court ordered eBay to pay $35m to MercExchange, a sum later reduced to $29.5m. eBay now says the jury had not been properly instructed at the time of its ruling, and that claims of patent infringement are unfounded. It argues that the MercExchange patent covers the transfer of ownership and that this part of a sale is not featured anywhere in an eBay transaction.

News Article Monday, October 4th 2004, 11:24am EDT Sex toy creates Oz airport pandemonium. A discarded vibrator at Queensland's Mackay airport caused pandemonium after cleaners noticed a rubbish bin humming in a suspicious manner, the Herald Sun reports. Cafeteria manager Lynne Bryant said: "It was rather disconcerting when the rubbish bin started humming furiously. We called security and next minute everybody was being evacuated while they checked it out." It was only after an hour that security declared the offending item nothing more than a "adult novelty device". It is not reported whether the authorities attempted to apprehend the person responsible for wreaking havoc with passengers' schedules. Presumably, they simply had to look for a smiling and chilled-looking woman among the screaming, terrorised travellers. News Article Monday, October 4th 2004, 11:21am EDT The end of summer lull for viruses and worms continues. We're still seeing new versions of RBots, and a new Bagle, but nothing with teeth. The big news appears to be the anticipation of a viral exploit of the JPEG vulnerability that Microsoft patched earlier this month. Within days of the release of the security bulletin, there was proof of concept code available on the web. As the exploit was analyzed by various security groups, it was found that it was similar to a four year old Netscape vulnerability reported by Openwall project. News Article Monday, October 4th 2004, 11:20am EDT Internet a modern Trojan horse. Karsten M. Self, who oversees a children's computer lab at a youth center in Napa, Calif., spends about a half-hour each morning electronically scanning 10 PCs. He is searching for files and traces of code that threaten to hijack the computers by silently monitoring the children's online activities or by plastering their screens with dizzying - and nearly unstoppable - onslaughts of pop-up advertisements. To safeguard the children's computers, Self has installed a battery of protective software products and new Web browsers. That has kept some - but by no means all - of the youth center's digital intruders at bay. "You would expect that you could use these systems in a safe and sane way, but the fact of the matter is that you can't unless you have a fair amount of knowledge, time to fix the problems and paranoia," he said. News Article Monday, October 4th 2004, 11:19am EDT Münster - German psychologists say a sharp increase in the number of people whose sex drives have gone out of control is mainly the result of pornography and sex chat on the internet. Steffen Fliegel, chairing a conference of the German Society for Research on Sexuality DGfS, said it was difficult to obtain overall figures for people who had a pathological obsession with sex, as sufferers were highly embarrassed and often do not seek help. But clinical psychologists at the meeting in the northern German city of Münster had discovered by comparing notes that there had been a sharp growth in the number of self-help groups in which sufferers offer one another advice, he said on Saturday.

News Article Monday, October 4th 2004, 11:17am EDT Porn challenge getting harder. After all the rejoicing over last week's success against an alleged internet trade in child pornography, today's revelation of largely unfettered internet sharing of this material is sobering. It raises issues about whether the law can ever get ahead of internet abuse and whether smart criminals have seized a vehicle that allows them to adapt quicker than can the authorities that pursue them.

Doctors blame the wealth of web-based information for a rise in "cyberchondria".

News Article Monday, October 4th 2004, 11:14am EDT October buyers' guide to motherboards in the US. Last time the InQ had a guide about choosing motherboards, it was just over one year ago back in September 2003. Over the time, not much has changed today though except for the prevelance of s754 and s775 sockets. For sake of clarity, we will restrict ourselves to socket A, socket 754 (no 939 or 940), socket 478 and socket 775. There will be a short mention for socket 603 for what I personally believe to be a genuinely prized product. Winners should bear several features - they should be affordable, stable and available. Also today's winners will be for the USA rather than for the rest of the world. More to come in the following days. News Article Monday, October 4th 2004, 11:14am EDT US users know more about boobs than viruses.

However only 60 per cent could remember when they last updated their anti-virus software, firewall and OS. News Article Monday, October 4th 2004, 11:13am EDT Patent landrush threatens Wi-Fi standards. We have examined before how patent lawsuits are threatening to stifle the adoption of wireless standards. Symbol, fresh from an intellectual property victory over rival Proxim, is the latest to assert sweeping licensing rights in 802.11 technology, while VIA is seeking to extend its proposed ‘intellectual property pool’ to WiMAX. With the emerging WiMAX and RFID wireless technologies both subject to major patent claims, as well as numerous intellectual property disputes in Wi-Fi, the arguments are growing louder that standards are kept royalty-free. This would basically give companies – particularly start-ups – the choice of keeping their inventions proprietary and seeking to build a de facto standard with a full royalty revenue stream, Qualcomm-style; or donate the innovations to industry bodies for free, but with the hope of creating a far larger market in a shorter timescale, in which to sell products and services. News Article Monday, October 4th 2004, 11:12am EDT Web to get dose of plain English. The Plain English Campaign is stepping up its war against linguistic obfuscation with a new campaign in association with ebiz outfit TechnoPhobia.

Accordingly, the Plain English Campaign and TechnoPhobia have joined forces to "promote easily understood content for the web".
