POPSCredit scores climbing on Prosper as borrowers seek alternative financing "There has never been a better time to be a banker," said Chris Larsen, Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder of Prosper. "With credit card companies hiking rates while at the same time reducing credit limits, people with great credit are looking for an alternative way to get rid of their credit debt and finance their small businesses. The result of the 'too big to fail' institutions turning their backs on consumer and small business borrowers is that individual investors are finding peer-to-peer lending to be an attractive new asset class that enables them to do well while doing good."

POPSFile Sharers Are More Likely to Purchase DVDs and Go to Movie Theaters The result of the study, while going against everything Hollywood is claiming, isn't that surprising, considering the number of previous similar reports. It found that the p2p users went to 34 percent more movies than regular ones, bought 34 percent more DVDs and also rented 24 percent more movies. Could it be that the ones that use file sharing do so precisely because they are more interested in media and entertainment content and, as such, also end up buying more than the average users?

Online distribution of music isn’t geared toward album sales, which generate higher profits for the labels, but rather toward individual songs. In other words, industry revenues aren’t falling solely because pirates steal songs, but rather because music fans are buying tracks, not albums.

POPSFederal Authority Over the Internet? The Cybersecurity Act of 2009 WHOOOA! This has to be protested big time. If this is permitted to happen we are all royally screwed, since the Internet is the Mass Communications structure of this era. The government used to be able to block radio &TV (probably still can and would) but right now it is not possible to close down the loop and voice of the Internet so easily. Unless this happens and we cannot let this happen. EFF is right, this is very dangerous. Hopefully people start organizing now and figuring ways to setup P2P and Mesh systems that can perhaps bypass the normal Internet and circumvent any blocks the government (any government) that is put into place.

POPSConficker Wakes Up, Updates, Drops Payload The development was found when Trend Micro researchers noticed a new file in the Windows Temp folder and a large encrypted TCP response from a known Conficker P2P IP node hosted in Korea: Two things can be summed up from the events that transpired: 1. As expected, the P2P communications of the Downad/Conficker botnet may have just been used to serve an update, and not via HTTP. The Conficker/Downad P2P communications is now running in full swing! 2. Conficker-Waledac connection? Possible, but we still have to dig deeper into this…

POPSCloud Control - Part 1 What happened to P2P which uses the power of existing PC resources, rather than having to bu a bunch of new stuff? Much cheaper not to buy anything, but to use existing intelligent distributed computing power, as does Skype, for example.
