Progress on National Security Leaks

Aug 6, 2007 By mkanderson Leave a Comment

It's good to know that there is an investigation into the "wiretapping" leaks: Report: FBI Searches Home of Attorney in Warrantless Wiretap Program Case. FBI agents searched the home of former Justice Department lawyer Thomas Tamm last week in an effort to determine who leaked details of the warrantless eavesdropping program to the news media, [...]

Performance Slaves

This story proves that human trafficking is about much more than just sex: 3 Face Slavery Charges Involving Chinese Acrobats in Las Vegas. Representatives of Child Protective Services and the Clark County Department of Family Services on Friday conducted a health and welfare check at the home, where they interviewed 14 residents, including five juveniles [...]

Cell Phone Stalking

Jun 26, 2007 By mkanderson Leave a Comment

When I came across this story (see Hacker Taps Cell Phone to Stalk Family) yesterday, I was a little surprised. The media rarely covers security stories unless a there's a grisly murder or a pretty white blond disappears. Just ask Tim Kuykendall, whose cell phone provided a portal through which a hacker gained access to [...]

I found out late yesterday a very close friend of my family died. Bob was best friends with my grandfather and he and his wife were a consistent presence at family events. I have old home movies from my early childhood with Bob right there in them. I will always remember him as a friendly, [...]

OneNote and Outlook Become Exclusive

Feb 17, 2006 By mkanderson Leave a Comment

Today, over at ZDNet, Ed Bott discusses Microsoft's new strategy for Office 2007. It looks like Outlook is removed from the new Student and Home edition of Office. In an unimpressive stroke of mediocrity, Microsoft has determined there is little value to OneNote as it doesn't include OneNote in any version but the Student & [...]

Dear FusionOne

Dear FusionOne: We've known each other for how long? Five years? Really? It's been that long. Wow. When we met, you had such big plans for yourself. You were going to help me with all of my synchronization needs. Remember how I used you to synch between my work PC, my home PC, my laptop, [...]

One More Time: If It's Wireless, It's Not Secure

Sep 20, 2005 By mkanderson Leave a Comment

I'm not sure if any kind of study could actually prove that there is any kind of correlation between convenience and security. On the surface, however, it seems that many people are willing to trade security for convenience. Wireless networks are inherently insecure and are more popular than ever. What's not to like about staying [...]

No Conspiracy; Just Annoying

Jul 30, 2005 By mkanderson Leave a Comment

As I wrote earlier this week, I have a new laptop courtesy of the lemon clause of the warranty attached to my old laptop. This new laptop is a Pentium 4 3GHz, making it faster than my PC at home. It's not fair. My home machine is the one with the big monitor and the [...]

Non Profit Network Administration

Jul 5, 2005 By mkanderson Leave a Comment

I was asked a while back to help out a church with their computer network. I tried to be clear that I'm not a good network administrator. I can do some things, but what takes me hours takes real professionals a few minutes. Asking me to be a network administrator is surely a sign of [...]
