Buffett says US in 'economic Pearl Harbor'
Topic: Markets & Investing 1:11 pm EST, Jan 19, 2009

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Billionaire investor Warren Buffett says the U.S. is engaged in an "economic Pearl Harbor."

In an interview that aired Sunday on "Dateline NBC," the chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. said the nation's economic situation is not as bad at World War II or the Great Depression, but it's still pretty severe.

Buffett said Americans are in a cycle of fear, "which leads to people not wanting to spend and not wanting to make investments, and that leads to more fear. We'll break out of it. It takes time."

Cisco CTO could be tapped by Obama
Topic: Tech Industry 11:47 am EST, Jan 19, 2009

Cisco's CTO Padmasree Warrior is one of the top two candidates for the first U.S. CTO, expected to be named any day now, according to published reports.

The 46-year-old candidate was formerly CTO at Motorola, where she worked for 23 years, and has worked for Cisco for the past 13 months.

She skirted her prospects as federal CTO when asked about them by BusinessWeek via e-mail. Instead she addressed generalities. "Smart networking technologies and IT play a critical role in transforming government, energy, education and healthcare," she said.

When she joined Cisco, Warrior laid out her philosophy about technology. "I enjoy envisioning and creating the future," she wrote in her blog, "and leveraging technology leadership for business growth. Expertise, experience, energy -- these exemplify my platform for achievement."

Paris Hilton’s official web site serving malware
Topic: Tech Industry 12:03 pm EST, Jan 14, 2009

So many jokes here...

-----

The official web site of Paris Hilton (parishilton.com) has been embedded with a malicious iFrame, automatically exposing visitors to client-side vulnerabilities and banker malware, according to researchers from ScanSafe. Upon closer analysis, it appears that the site has been infected on the 8th of January, Thursday, becoming the very latest legitimate site whose use of outdated web application software led to its exploitation.

Moreover, just like we’ve seen in previous related attacks, Hilton’s site compromise is a part of bigger malware campaign affecting several thousand sites, and is not being exclusively targeted.

Paris Hilton site infected with malwareA javascript embedded at the bottom of the site, is actually an iFrame that used to point to the now down you69tube .com/flvideo/.a/.t/index .php. Once the downloader is executed it attempts to download another binary from the same site, including configuration files from several other sites among which is ManggaTv.com. The abuse and use of legitimate infrastructure as a foundation for the entire malicious campaign, is a common practice applied by cybercriminals these days. For instance, in this campaign not only is the official web site of a popular celebrity used to acquire the traffic, but also, another legitimate site is used as a dropzone for the configuration file of the banker malware.

Obama plans to order closing of Guantánamo on his 1st full day
Topic: Politics and Law 11:05 pm EST, Jan 12, 2009

President-elect Barack Obama plans to issue an executive order on his first full day in office ordering the closing of the Guantánamo Bay detention camp in Cuba, people briefed by Obama transition officials said Monday.

But experts say it is likely to take many months, perhaps as long as a year, to empty the prison that has drawn international criticism since it received its first prisoners seven years ago this week. One transition official said the new administration expected that it would take several months to transfer some of the remaining 248 prisoners to other countries, decide how to try suspects and deal with the many other legal challenges posed by closing the camp.

Obama to pick Genachowski to head FCC: WSJ
Topic: Politics and Law 10:22 pm EST, Jan 12, 2009

The online edition of The Wall Street Journal, citing an unnamed source, reported that Obama will nominate Genachowski as FCC chairman.
Genachowski, a former Harvard Law School classmate of Obama's, worked at the FCC during the Clinton administration and is a former executive at IAC Interactive Corp. Currently a technology adviser to the president-elect, Genachowski also co-founded Washington, D.C.-based venture capital firm, LaunchBox Digital.

Genachowski helped draft Obama's technology plan, which includes support for creating more widespread and affordable Internet access, and more diverse media ownership rules. He was long thought to be on the short list of candidates to head the FCC.

Windows 7: The Linux killer
Topic: Tech Industry 10:19 pm EST, Jan 12, 2009

This guy is smoking something...

----
Microsoft has long been worried about Linux competition in the server market. When it came to ordinary PCs and laptops, however, it knew it had little to fear.

But that was then. Now Microsoft may fear Linux on the desktop as much as it does the Mac. It's finally taking Linux seriously as a desktop operating system, and it has designed Windows 7 to kill it.

Let me explain.

Colbert Debates Copyright Law with Lawrence Lessig
Topic: Politics and Law 12:19 am EST, Jan 11, 2009

Video Link....

Larry Lessig was on Colbert last night and it was a copyright smackdown. Stephen started the interview off demanding what Lessig means by “hybrid economy” in the title of his new book, Remix: Making Art and Commerce Thrive in the Hybrid Economy.

The phrase refers to an economy like Flickr: “a free-sharing economy and Flickr makes money on top of that,” Larry said. In other words, it’s like Colbert’s Green Screen Challenges, Stephen noted: “They do all the work and I get all the ad revenue.”
