We're The US Government, So We Can Ignore Pesky Things Like The DMCA

While the federal government of the US has dumped on us dreadful laws like the DMCA, when it comes time for it to follow those laws itself, it takes a pass. Why be inconvenienced like the rest of us? We've talked about how the US government likes to ignore patent law using either "state secrets" or "sovereign immunity" claims, and now it appears they're using that for copyright law as well. CAFC (Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit) has allowed the Air Force to dismiss a DMCA lawsuit lodged against them by claiming "sovereign immunity."

New web site planned to trade US biofuels in eBay fashion

A company that specializes in online casinos announced this week it was taking a gamble on the US biofuels industry by launching a new web site devoted to the buying and selling of ethanol and biodiesel. USBiofuelsExchange.com (US-BX) opened Tuesday to "pre-register" producers, resellers and buyers, according to a statement from Diamond I, a development-stage company seeking to change its name to US BioFuels Exchange Inc. The official launch will probably take place later this summer after beta-testing, said James Kaufman, managing director of US-BX, in an interview. The site will seek to level the playing field for biofuels producers in the US, he said, noting "long-standing arrangements" between big producers and buyers have posed "constraints" for smaller players without the clout to lock in those sorts of deals.

Revised FISA Bill Goes to Vote Tomorrow - Allows for retroactive telecom immunity in warrantless wiretapping case

While Sweden makes a lot of noise in regards to the approval of warrantless eavesdropping, the United States quietly continues to deal with the same issue from a different front. A revised version of the FISA bill is going up for a vote tomorrow and it contains a controversial clause that allows for telecom immunity to be given to those companies that participated in Bush’s warrantless wiretapping after 9/11. An analysis of the bill by the Electronic Frontier Foundation shows that the phrasing may have changed but the substance of the bill remains the same. If it passes tomorrow, the telcos get retroactive immunity for doing what the president told them to do.

Confessions of a Wi-Fi Thief

Michelle Shildkret from Time wrote in to tell us about a story about "the ethics of stealing Wi-Fi. Many of us been guilty of the same crime at one point or another — according to the article, 53% of us at least. But how guilty do we really feel? As it is officially a crime to steal wi-fi (Title 18, Part 1, Chapter 47 of the United States Code, which covers anybody who 'intentionally accesses a computer without authorization or exceeds authorized access')."

MS, Yahoo! and Google

The ladies and (especially) gentlemen of Microsoft, Yahoo! and Google trooped into the US Congress to inform US politicians about how good and how bad and how anti-competitive the Yahoo!-Google advert deal is; Yahoo! got things off with a joke by their lawyer Michael Callahan that was pretty funny but disrespectful: ''With all due respect to Google, we have every expectation of fighting them and winning;'' Brad Smith, Microsoft solicitor, explained to the congresspeople that if search is the key to the Internet, as ''many'' believe, then ''this deal will put Google in a position to own that gateway and the information that flows through it''; so it's probably fair to say that when Microsoft takes over Yahoo!, this deal will follow the dodo and other extinct species.

DVD Shatters Inside Drive! What Next?

I was scared to death when I heard the loud shot-like noise that came from the DVD disk I was playing. Apparently the disk shattered inside the drive! The drive is wide open but it won’t close, and half the disc seems to be inside the drive somewhere. No other CD can go in at all. How do I take out the rest of the CD broken inside? Can someone please tell me how can I open the CD player inside the computer? I need to see inside so I can remove the rest of the disk. How did this thing happen? My computer is working fine. I mean I even turned it off and on again to see what could happen. Nothing. Can someone tell me if I should open the computer CPU case so I can remove the pieces? Thanks, Mary

US titanium-dioxide market to top $2 billion in '09 on nanotech

US exports of titanium dioxide -- the naturally occurring oxide of titanium -- will grow by 21% to $1.5 billion this year, and could top $2 billion next year, as the commodity rebounds on strong sales of nanotechnology-based products, according to market reseach firm SBI. These nano-based products containing the material include self-cleaning windows and fabrics and pollution-busting paints, according to SBI's new report entitled The US Market for Titanium Dioxide. The new technology coupled with a wide range of uses will drive the US market for titanium dioxide, with the market jumping to $2.2 billion in 2009 and $2.3 billion by 2012. What's more, the market for the material's current uses -- including paints, printing inks, plastic and paper products, food, cosmetics, ceramics and rubber -- "are keeping export levels robust," the report

US Warns Olympic Visitors of Chinese Cyber-Spying

An anonymous reader writes to tell us the US Government has issued a strong warning to travelers headed to the Beijing Olympics (PDF) with respect to electronic data. Part FUD, part awareness, the CBS article reads like 1984, urging travelers to treat all electronic devices (from fax to cellphone and back) as compromised, and proceeds to talk about China's aggressive cyber-espionage programs. "China is one of a number of countries pushing active cyber-espionage programs aimed primarily at cracking U.S. national security computers and stealing corporate trade secrets. Billions have already been lost. In addition, cyber-gangs and criminals, many based in Asia, have stolen bank accounts and credit card numbers from an untold number of Americans.

How Do You Deal With Sensitive Data?

imus writes "Just wondering how most IT shops secure sensitive data (customer records). Most centrally managed databases seem to be monitored and maintained very well and IT workers know when they are tampered with or when unauthorized access occurs. But what about employees who do legitimate selects from these databases and then load CSV files and other text files onto their laptops and PDAs? How are companies dealing with situations where the database is relatively secure, but end-use devices contain bits and pieces of sensitive business data, and sometimes whole segments? Does anyone use sensitive data discovery software such as Find_SSNs or Senf or other tools? Once found, how do you deal with it? Do you force encryption, delete it or prevent extracts?"

US To Get EU Private Citizen Data

An anonymous reader writes "In a case of 'all your data are belong to us,' the US government is close to coming to an agreement with the EU that allows it to get private citizen data on EU citizens to 'look for suspicious activity.' So, now we know what step three is: set up a security agency in the US to resell otherwise unavailable data."

US And Canadian Online Business Travelers: What's The Difference?

Because the percent of online adults who travel for business in the US and Canada is so similar — 29% and 28%, respectively — Forrester took a closer look at their similarities and differences to help travel eBusiness professionals successfully serve these audiences. Although US and Canadian online business travelers are similar in many ways — gender, age, travel behavior, and more — distinct differences exist. For example, US online business travelers are more likely to own laptops and smartphones. In contrast, Canadian online business travelers are more likely to visit and update or maintain profiles on social networking sites — especially Facebook. To succeed, travel eBusiness and channel strategy professionals should focus on content, provide more business-travel-related context, and plan Canadian-specific eBusiness channel

How Nokia and Linux Can Live Together

Bruce Perens writes "Ari Jaaski of Nokia is concerned that the Linux developers need to learn to live with DRM, SIM-locking, and 'IPR'. But they won't. Fortunately, Nokia can do all that it wants with Linux, while being GPL2 and even GPL3-compatible. The key is knowing how to draw bright lines between different parts of the system. That's a legal term, and in this case it means a line between the Free Software and the rest of the system, that is 'bright' in that the two pieces are very well separated, and there is no dispute that one could be a derivative work of the other, or infringes on the other in any way. All of the Free Software goes on one side of that line, and all of the lock-down stuff on the other side." A very interesting read, and a good how-to for any company that is looking to use GPLed code as part of their products, or e

How To Start An Online Home Business With Little Money

I have had quite a couple of emails from my newsletter subscribers complaining that the internet is springing up with so many ideas and ways to make money online, but all of these are nothing more than ways to suck money out of poor individuals who are searching for a legitimate and genuine online home business. Some of them are of the opinion that you have got to have the technical know how to build and maintain a website or invest massively to have some one build this for you just to run your online home business. I even had one subscriber email me saying, "the only think I know how to do on the internet aside sending emails, is surf the web, can you please give detailed instructions on how to start an online home business for someone like me".

Nanotech Tools Demand to reach $2.7 billion(US) in 2013

The US market for nanotech tools is projected to increase nearly 30 percent per year through 2008 to $900 million(US)and then triple again to $2.7 billion(US) in 2013. Nanotech tools represent a key segment of the emerging nanotechnology business, allowing for the visualization, measurement, manipulation, fabrication, production, simulation and testing of matter in the nanoscale range -- approximately 0.1-100 nanometers. Such tools are indispensible to the large-scale commercial realization of nanotechnology materials, devices and other products. As the focus of the nanotechnology business increasingly shifts away from basic research and toward the development of practical, commercially viable products, the demand for associated tools will be urgent.
