eWeek: Internet Explorer is Too Dangerous to Keep Using
eWEEK.com Senior Editor Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols says:
"OK, I confess it: I've used Internet Explorer a lot. After being a die-hard Netscape user, I finally got fed up with the sheer bulk of that browser and started using Internet Explorer on my Windows machines.
As time went on and open-source Mozilla matured, I started using Mozilla as my main Linux Web browser and as my secondary Windows browser. This past Friday, though, I started installing Firefox, the browser-only side of Mozilla, on every one of my production Windows machines.
Why? Because Internet Explorer, like Outlook, has finally become, to my mind, a permanent security hole that masquerades as a useful application....
The bottom line is that for all practical purposes for today, open-source browsers are inherently more secure than Internet Explorer, and I still have half a dozen more workstations to switch over to Firefox. Go ahead, stick with Internet Explorer for everyday use. It's your funeral."

iPod Under Attack By Sen, Orrin Hatch's "Induce Act"
The Electronic Frontier Foundation says:
"Senator Orrin Hatch and his colleagues on the Senate Judiciary Committee have introduced the Inducing Infringements of Copyright Act ("The Induce Act" [PDF, 25k]) this week. They want us to think the Act is no big deal, and that it targets only the bad guys while leaving the good guys alone. They say that it doesn't change the law; it just clarifies it. But they're wrong. And this legal complaint is the proof.
"Fake Complaint against Apple, Toshiba, and C-Net for Inducing Infringement of Copyrights .
"Take a look. Scared yet? You should be. When the lawyers at EFF first sat down and asked 'Whom could we sue under the Induce Act if we were an abusive copyright holder?' the answer was clear: pretty much everybody. Playing the devil's advocates, we knew we could draft a legal complaint against any number of the major computer or electronics manufacturers for selling everyday devices we all know and love—CD burners, MP3 players, cell phones—and that with that complaint, we could file a lawsuit that would survive any attempt to dismiss it before trial, costing the targeted company up to $1,000,000 per month in legal fees alone. The Induce Act is a nasty, brutish stick in the hands of the wrong plaintiff.
"Apple's iPod music player seemed particularly vulnerable to attack. Any major record label could bring a strong lawsuit against Apple for "intentionally inducing" infringement under this new law with the iPod, both because it's plausible to argue that having an iPod enhances the lure of using P2P to download music (gotta fill all that space!) and because all the major record labels still believe that private sharing of songs from your CDs with friends is copyright infringement. We still disagree with the labels on these points, but the reality is that no court has yet convinced them that their legal theories are flawed. We also threw in Toshiba for making the iPod's hard drive and CNET for showing people how to move the iPod's music files.
"Under the Supreme Court's ruling in Sony v. Universal (the Betamax VCR case), devices like the iPod and CD burners are legal as long as they have legal uses—what the Court called "substantial non-infringing uses." This has been the rule in the technology sector for the last 20 years. Billions of dollars and thousands of jobs have depended on it. Industries have blossomed under it. And any case brought against Apple or HP or Dell would be immediately dismissed because of it.
"Now Senator Hatch and his allies want to tear down that rule and substitute a new one with the Induce Act. With it, the fact that a device or product has legal uses, even lots of them, is irrelevant. Filing a lawsuit under the Induce Act is like dropping a litigation bomb on any company that gives users products that have even the slightest potential to assist in copyright infringement. Technology companies will avoid being innovative, and investors will avoid supporting new technologies for fear of being sued out of existence based on the possible conduct of their customers. If this bill had been law in 1984, there would be no VCR. If this bill had been law in 1995, there would be no CD burners. If this bill had been law in 2000, there would be no iPod. If this bill becomes law in 2004, we may lose those devices and many more that we haven't even begun to imagine."

SaveTheiPod
SaveTheiPod.com says:
"The INDUCE Act is legislation being pushed by the record industry that would allow them to file lawsuits against companies that make unrestricted music hardware or software, such as the iPod or filesharing programs. The INDUCE Act will restrict technological innovation, limit free speech, and threaten one of the most vibrant sectors of the United States economy. Instead of taking advantage of new opportunities to build new business models, the record industry is pressuring Congress to stop music sharing with more lawsuits and regulation.
"Is the iPod Really at Risk?
"Yes! The INDUCE Act would create liability for any company whose product could be used to copy music without permission from the record industry....
"The record industry is trying to rush this bill through Congress without any debate. Several very prominent and powerful members of Congress, all of whom have received large campaign contributions from the entertainment industry, are moving the INDUCE Act forward. The bill could be passed within a week."

eWeek: Apple Throws Spotlight on Search
"SAN FRANCISCO- Apple Computer Inc. CEO Steve Jobs turned the spotlight on search Monday when he demonstrated a new content indexing and search engine slated for Mac OS X 10.4, a k a "Tiger."
During his keynote presentation for this week's Worldwide Developer Conference here, Jobs took the wraps off the new technology, titled Spotlight, and compared it with the database file system Microsoft Corp. has promised for its 2006 Longhorn release. Noting that Spotlight and Tiger will arrive a year ahead of Longhorn, Jobs quoted one of the promotional banners Apple had hung outside the auditorium: "Redmond, start your photocopiers.""

An Engineer's Thoughts on Mac OS X Tiger
OSNews' Jean-Baptiste Quéru says:
"Let me make it clear. I'm not a fan of Apple. I think that their products are overhyped, overpriced and underperforming. If you're looking for a fair unbiased opinion, you're looking in the wrong place. You've been warned.....
"... about some of the actual features of Tiger:
"-Data syncing. Nice, maybe, but every single app needs to do some work, and I'm ready to bet that at least some of them won't (who wants to bet that my default JPEG settings in Photoshop won't migrate over).....
"-64 bit support. Nice for those who have G5s, maybe. For those of us stuck with ancient machines (the G4 kind, which Apple still sells today on their web site) there doesn't seem to be any enhancement, and no indication that Photoshop CS will be able to use more than about 40% of the RAM on my 2GB dual G4).
"-Dashboard. A plain, simple and blatant ripoff of Konfabulator. The kind that makes you think that software patents aren't a bad thing after all.....
"-Safari RSS. Not overly impressed. I've worked on RSS as part of my day job, and honestly what Apple did is really not a big deal. If they don't improve the way they make RSS pages look (they currently all look the same), they'll have missed a big opportunity to really innovate....
"-Automator. Once again not really impressed. That reminded me a lot of the Khoros image processing system which I used in college almost a decade ago, except that the Khoros system allowed for non-linear processing chains....
"-Spotlight. In 1997, as a Be developer, I got my hands on BeOS "Advanced Access" (also known as developer release 9)..... Spotlight is an evolution of a similar magnitude, which attempts to solve pretty much the same problem with a slightly different approach. Seeing Finder create complex queries gave me the illusion for a moment that BeOS' Tracker had been ported to MacOS.
"-Core Image. Discussing the issue with other engineers who are more familiar with the image-processing capabilities of current graphics cards, it very much sounds like Core Image isn't gonna cut it for serious image processing....
"In summary, I don't think that MacOS 10.4 is worth my $129 (or my $199 since I have multiple Macs, assuming that they maintain their policy about upgrade pricing). In my experience each upgrade on MacOS X comes with a lot of pain, lots of broken compatibility with at least some of the drivers and accessories that I can't live without on MacOS, and I'm getting to the point where my Mac experience is stuck between a rock (continuing to use 10.3 and all its problems) and a hard place (upgrading to 10.4 and deal with all the new bugs and incompatibilities)."
Queru goes on to list his complaints about Panther. For the full commentary, visit:

Spotlight on Spotlight
Informationweek's Aaron Ricadela reports:
"Apple Computer plans to launch technology called Spotlight for searching the contents of Macintosh computers when the company releases an operating-system update next year, CEO Steve Jobs said Monday. If it works as advertised, Spotlight would deliver for Mac users capabilities similar to what Microsoft has said it plans to include in its next version of Windows--which is still several years from release.
"Speaking at an Apple developer conference in San Francisco, Jobs demonstrated Spotlight software, quickly scanning a Mac's hard drive for documents, E-mail messages, address book entries, and other files. The software scans an index of the contents for files with compatible formats--including Word and Excel documents, Adobe PDF and Photoshop files, and most image and movie file types--as well as "metadata" about the author or copyright holder of a document that may not appear in its contents. Apple plans to include Spotlight in version 10.4 of its Mac OS X operating system, code-named Tiger. It's due in the first half of next year."

File Swappers Targeted In Steve Winwood Promotion
Reuters reports:
"Veteran rocker Steve Winwood has tied up with 'Access Hollywood' in an experimental marketing tie-up intended to demonstrate the commercial potential of file-sharing networks such as Kazaa, according to people involved in the project.
"The deal is one of the first to use sponsored downloads to support commercial music on the same peer-to-peer networks that the music industry has blamed for an explosion in piracy and weak CD sales in recent years.
"'The major record labels are so afraid of file-sharing that they're missing the opportunity,' said Bruce Forest, a principal in Jun Group, which brokered the unusual marketing alliance and helped place the free tracks on Web networks.
"Winwood, a founding member of the group Traffic, has made a previously unreleased, eight-minute live version of 'Dear Mr. Fantasy,' freely available to digital file swappers."

Apple Grabs Enterprise Tail
internetnews.com's Michael Singer says:
"Apple Computer is counting on some advancements to its next-generation operating system to win it more space in the enterprise.
"While the company has made great strides in breaking out of its desktop shell (can you say supercomputing powerhouse?), Apple said it is riding the momentum of its Mac OS X 10.3x "Panther" server operating system and adding 200 features to the industrial version of its Mac OS X 10.4x, code-named "Tiger."

Apple's iTunes Establishes a European Center in Luxembourg
Things are hotting up in Luxembourg, a small European country sitting between France, Germany and Belgium. Already well known as a financial center, and the leading upload point for many of Europe's Satellite Digital TV services, Luxembourg is fast becoming the first choice for locating a company's European e-Commerce operations.
Recent EU regulations call for B2C operators to collect European Sales tax, or Value Added Tax, on sales of products and services delivered over the Internet to European end users. As Luxembourg has the lowest level of VAT of the 25 EU members, it is the logical choice for companies to set up in Europe. Microsoft Corp. and Time Warner's America Online unit recently announced plans to run their European operations from Luxembourg. And now Apple iTunes has established a company here.
When he heard of Apple's plans to set up an office in Luxembourg, Paul Schonenberg, Chairman of Luxembourg's American Chamber of Commerce, commented 'We welcome Apple's decision and stand ready along with our members to offer them any assistance in setting up here, and making their staff feel welcome.'
A low VAT level is not the only reason why Luxembourg is a popular destination for non-European businesses to make their entry into the European Market. A recent report on the advantages offered by Luxembourg concluded that Luxembourg was undoubtedly the preferred European location for a centralized IT operating center. Further details can be found on the DataCenter Luxembourg's website:
http://www.dclux.com/hs/ecomm_lux.html
DataCenter Luxembourg is the leading player in town when it comes to datacenter infrastructure and managed hosting services. 'Our company is the natural choice for companies wanting to set up their European E-Commerce headquarters here with the minimum investment in IT staff and facilities', says DataCenter's Marco Houwen. 'DCLUX operates carrier-independent, redundant datacenters with multiple network connections to ensure security and continuity. We offer around-the-clock operations, tight security and skilled staff' says DataCenter's Marco Houwen. 'By working with local accountants and tax advisors, as well as our sister organisation, EuroDNS, we offer a complete company creation and operation service for newcomers to Europe'.
EuroDNS ( http://www.eurodns.com ) is a European-wide Domain Name Registrar, specializing in Country Code domain names registrations for the expanded, 25-country European Union.
