Beware the patent trolls.

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

I was listening to this week’s TWIT when I heard a comment from Leo Leoporte regarding some guy that had a patent out for “episodic content.” I couldn’t believe my eyes when I found this to be true. Apparently this is “old news,” but hey, I’m about to get married, had a bit of drama last year, so I guess some news fell through the cracks. This, however, should have caught my eye. And for those of you who don’t know, I thought I’d reinvigorate the conversation once again. I had always known there to be a reason why Apple didn’t push magazine subscriptions through its store front. Now I know why.

More on the Iranian Twitter attack.

ComputerWorld is reporting that the initial vector of attack was through malware (no surprise).  I have said the same thing over and over again.  The best vector in any compromise is always THE WEAKEST LINK, and in this case, employees WITHIN a corporation with a lackadaisical IT policy.  You know what DNS guys, if you want to surf the web, don’t do so with IE while logging into your DNS record interface.  Probably not the smartest group in town.
