Faster internet connections have already popularised some internet shows, including Kate Modern, made by social networking site Bebo.

Major Security Flaw Discovered: Internet Privacy Compromised at All Levels

Yesterday, details were leaked of possibly the single largest threat to Internet security. Earlier this year, Dan Kaminsky, director of penetration testing for IOactive, discovered a major flaw in how Internet addresses function. The issue is in the design of the Domain Name System (DNS) and is not limited to any single product. An attacker could easily take over portions of the Internet and redirect users to arbitrary and malicious locations to engage in identity theft. For example, an attacker could target an Internet Service Provider (ISP) replacing search engines, social networks, banks, and other sites with their own malicious content. Against corporate or government environments, an attacker could disrupt or monitor operations by rerouting network traffic, capturing emails and other sensitive data.

Use Photoshop to Create Some Brutally Honest Gadget Ads

For this week's Photoshop Contest, I want you to create some really honest gadget ads. You know, ads that say things companies would never actually advertise about their products, but actually give you more correct info than a real ad. Alternatively, you can make the ads brutally honest about the consumer it's aimed at. Be creative! It's fun and easy, as you can see by the Unicorn-themed PS3 ad I made above.

Why the Olympics Didn't Melt the Internet

perlow tips his blog entry over at ZDNet on why the Internet didn't melt when millions of users streamed 480i video for a week. The short answer is Limelight Networks of Tempe, Arizona. "[W]hy the Internet didn't 'melt' is quite simple — [Limelight is] completely 'off the cloud.' In other words, unlike Akamai and similar content caching providers, their system isn't deployed over the public Internet... Limelight has partnered with over 800 broadband Internet providers worldwide... so that the content is either co-located in the same facility as your ISP's main communications infrastructure, or it leases a dedicated Optical Carrier line so that it actually appears as part of your ISP's internal network. In most cases, you're never even leaving your Tier 1 provider to get the video.

P2P Set-top Boxes To Revolutionize Internet

An anonymous reader writes "The European Commissions 7th Framework Program (FP7) is working on a project called Nano Data Centers (NADA) as part of the its future Internet initiative. NADA will seek to build an Internet architecture that delivers data from the edge of the Internet using set top boxes and Peer-to-Peer technology, instead of the network-centric architecture that stores and delivers content from data centers via Internet backbones. NADA is proposing a network of hundreds of thousands of set top boxes, hugely popular in Europe, to be essentially split into two — one side is the user interface side, the other a virtualised Peer-to-Peer storage client that stores and sends media in the same way a data center would. Ideally there would be millions of these boxes each acting as a mini data center — hence the Nano Data Center

Growing Popularity, Ubiquitous Broadband to Change the Face of Internet Search

FRISCO, TX, Aug 23 (MARKET WIRE) -- (PINKSHEETS: NXPC) A recent survey conducted by PEW Internet & American Life Project (PIP) reveals that "almost half of all Internet users now use search engines on a typical day," an increase of 69% from 2002 when Pew Internet & American Life Project first tracked search activity. The PIP survey also finds that those who use broadband connections at home are "significantly more likely" to use search than those with a dialup connection. According to Scott Grizzle, chief marketing officer for NeXplore Corporation, search's growing popularity and the proliferation of broadband will drive dramatic changes in the Internet search experience, particularly in how consumers interact with search engine results pages (SERPs).
