Yikes. We arrived back in TO after a couple of weeks in the Valley and all three of us have remarked how crappy the air is here. We long to be back in NS. But I guess it's not ideal right now either. .< 11:10:27 PM  >Apple receives perfect score from HRC [The Macintosh News Network] Not just another company. There are many ways to "think different"ly. .< 11:08:39 PM >News.Com: The myth of cybersecurity. Ray Ozzie. But "weak encryption" is no longer a reasonable excuse for insecure systems. It's clear by now that real security comes not just from strong crypto, but from recognizing and embracing human strengths, frailties and common behaviors in building, managing and using complex systems. [Tomalak's Realm] .< 10:25:56 PM >Ottawa to split $400-million road work with N.B. The government of New Brunswick will split the cost of twinning a stretch of the Trans-Canada Highway with Ottawa.
[CBC News] Good news. The highways in NB have improved dramatically in the past few years but this much used stretch between Fredricton and the Québec border is still a problem. We actually made great time this past weekend but we were lucky and we were still slowed but being unable to pass for quite a long time. .< 10:20:48 PM >Warner Vision releases five new DVD-Audio recordings Includes Harnoncourt conducting Bach's St Matthew Passion DVD-A: Not quite dead yet! .< 9:22:30 PM >Filing on Financing of Satellite Radio. Sirius Satellite Radio said that it might need to raise $600 million to stay in business until its satellite-radio service has enough customers. By Bloomberg News. [New York Times: Technology] I've always been a little sceptical of the viability of the 'satellite radio' concept. .< 9:20:16 PM >Last year on this day, I ran an excerpt from David Bank's excellent book, Breaking Windows. "In this excerpt Bank tells the story of Microsoft's decision to comply with a judge's order to open up Windows to other browsers by breaking Windows, an act of self-defacement that illustrates how far Microsoft will go before bending to authority." The Bank book is, imho, required reading for anyone who wants an informed opinion about the software industry. The publicity tour was interrupted by 9-11, so not many people have read this landmark book.  [Scripting News] |
