POPSFree Wi-Fi As an Albany resident this is great news. It may only be available in certain areas of the city (I don't know) but it would be nice if it was city-wide. I think it would be especially good for those residents who can't afford internet service.

POPS"I am awed by the scale of social change this stuff represents." More: Imagine a science fiction story written 50 years ago like Written 50 years ago, this would be radical left-wing speculation, right? As would a straight description of, say, an office party where I work. The research, management, and support staff a wild mix of different races and sexes? Female mathematicians and engineers and scientists doing lots of the research and work? Half the staff East or South Asian or Latin American, and a good fraction of the US-born staff black? C'mon--that crap will never happen, that's like something out of science fiction.

POPSAbout 90 percent of all email is spam: Cisco
This year, botnets were used to inject an array of legitimate Websites with an IFrames malicious code that reroutes visitors to websites that download computer viruses into their machines, according to Cisco. "The botnet is, in many cases, ground-zero for online criminal threats," Peterson said. "Using malware to infect someone's computers is an incredibly common mechanism and harnessing them all together is a way they do their click fraud, spam emails, and data stealing." As computer security vendors such as Cisco get better at protecting machines from hackers and users grow wary of clicking on unsolicited Web links or email attachments, online criminals are turning botnets on Web-based email accounts. Hackers are "reputation hijacking" by using botnets to figure out weak passwords protecting Web-based email accounts, according to Peterson. Weak passwords consist of family names, birthdays, home addresses, or other terms considered relatively easy to deduce.

POPSInnovation crisis? Quick synopsis of Judy Estrin, Tech entrepreneur's new book, “Closing the Innovation Gap.” The book sounds intriguing and worth reading to see if her argument on why Silicon Valley right now isn't ripe for breeding entrepreneurs.

POPSComcast Limiting Internet Use Comcast is the first to do the dirty deed. Instead of investments into newer and more internet infrastructure, they will stop and charge xtra for more usage. As technologies evolve more and more, your bandwidth hog today, is the average consumer tomorrow. They will not only limit internet usage, but more importantly, they will stifle newer and better technologies. Games and HDTV will use way more bandwidth than anything today. Comcast-CONCAST- really, is standing in the way of the future of the internet

POPSVirtual Business Interesting article. Despite the drawbacks I believe that it can be assumed that the future of the web, and business conducted on the web, will be done more virtually than it is done at the present time. Because of this business will have to adapt and learn how to run within a virtual environment like Second Life. Despite the present drawbacks I believe that this is all very exciting for the future of business and the web.

POPSCyber Storm II: Feds Start Cyber War Games This week in a virtual theatre near you. This one involves companies including Cisco...yes, who control most of the components for computers by most every company in America. The REAL PURPOSE of this of course is to continue the "terrorism" scenario to justify Homeland Tyranny (aka Security)'s existence, continue to erode our freedoms, and the war on terrorism to reorganized the world. These control freaks enjoy these games at the taxpayer's expense at the cost of our liberties under the pretense of "saving" us from enemies (but not from the government).

POPSCisco Loses Another Top Exec This is a big loss. Giancarlo is a very smart guy and one of the folks most responsible for Cisco's embrace of (and success in) advanced technologies. Coming on the heels of SVP Mike Volpi's departure earlier this this year, it could all signal the beginning of a crisis.

POPSCisco Invests In WiMax I get chided by coworkers for my boosterish attitude towards WiMax, the next-generation city-wide wireless protocol. But it's cool stuff: When these networks are installed, providers will be able to beam a broadband data signal over an entire city, and users will be able to get online wirelessly anywhere, any time. Problem is I've been pointing that out for about three years, and not much has happened. But the fact that Cisco is now dropping $330 million on the technology provides a lot of validation. Wimax is real, and it's coming, and it's cool.
