"The Rustock takedown was the second major botnet takedown Microsoft has spearheaded within the last two years. In 2010, Microsoft asked for and received a court order that shut down a number of malicious domains used by the Waledac botnet. (See the Security Intelligence Report website for more information.) As part of that effort, Microsoft filed a John Doe lawsuit against the anonymous operators of the Rustock botnet, based in part on the abuse of Microsoft trademarks in the bot’s spam."

1. Substance – First and foremost, the content items you post need to be substantive enough to make it worth the reader’s time. Keep in mind that “substantive” doesn’t necessarily mean “long”; in fact some articles might even be too long for online publication. It means that the content you’re creating adds standalone value to the page. In other words, people can read this one page and get something out of it.

In a speech to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, former Senator and MPAA President Chris Dodd chastised tech companies who oppose SOPA saying, "There are those in the tech industry who hold the mistaken belief that there is nothing wrong with providing links to stolen content[...] I wonder if they would feel the same if their patents were stolen and used by others for profit?"

Come on Mr. Dodd, this does not even make sense. Name someone who thinks it is okay to provide links to stolen content. And tech companies take legal action against infringers all the time, using the legal system, not by nuking the national and global infrastructure.

In which I fall truly, madly, deeply in love with Ikea’s Dignitet curtain hanging system:

The thing is, all the Ikea rods except one kind of ugly one stop at 79 inches, and the bedroom windows in the Schoolhouse are 101 inches wide. I bought the Dignitet system as a default solution – but I have ended up thinking it is the best thing since sliced bread.

Foreign Secretary opens the London Conference on Cyberspace

2011-11-01T22:52:00.000-04:00

Foreign Secretary opens the London Conference on Cyberspace:

The 7 principles proposed are:

The need for governments to act proportionately in cyberspace and in accordance with international law;
The need for everyone to have the ability to access cyberspace, including the skills, technology, confidence and opportunity to do so;
The need for users of cyberspace to show tolerance and respect for diversity of language, culture and ideas;
Ensuring that cyberspace remains open to innovation and the free flow of ideas, information and expression;
The need to respect individual rights of privacy and to provide proper protection to intellectual property;
The need for us all to work together collectively to tackle the threat from criminals acting online;
And the promotion of a competitive environment which ensures a fair return on investment in networks, services and content.

Hague suggested these principles as a starting point in efforts to reach a broad agreement about behaviour in cyberspace.
