POPS Gmail Suffers Outage, World Ends Since about 2 p.m. Pacific Time today, many Gmail users have been unable to access their email. We are very sorry for this interruption in service. The issue is being caused by a temporary outage in the contacts system used by Gmail which is preventing Gmail from loading properly. We are starting to roll out a fix now and hope to have the problem resolved as quickly as possible. Even though you may not be able to get to your inbox right now, your mail is safe, including new incoming messages. We will post an update in the Gmail Help Center ( http://mail.google.com/support/ ) when more information is available.

POPSApple To NYC: Drop Dead Apple has a right to protect its trademark. But take a look at that picture -- come on! Is anybody going to think that's the logo of the computer company? Fugeddaboudit!

POPSNew Photos from Abu Ghraib Just another one of those days that I am sick to be an American. How can people do this? They are amassing so much bad karma for themselves. Very disturbing

POPSNew Boeing Jet Hackable By Passengers Don't like the destination? Hit the keyboard and choose a new one! Ugh. :( No doubt computers have raised the level of aviation security, but at the same time, it opens up a lot of vulnerabilities. I am scared of flying and the mere thought of putting my life in the hands of an unknown pilot is bad enough, but to trust computers with my life? Hmm... Before this plane hits the tarmac, I sure hope they get the right mixture of software vs humans in place. :(

POPSReport Cites China's Cyber-Warfare Plans See PITAC report (2005, I think) for more information on the "Crisis of Prioritization" in protecting the infostructure on which nearly every facet of American life depends. Another great read is "The Cyber War of 2002" (@ http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/6.02/cyberwar.html)

POPSMac Trojan - It's Finally Happened Unlike many Windows-based attacks, the Trojan doesn't exploit a hole in Apple's software, and it can't install itself. Instead, it relies on social engineering, tricking users into downloading the codec, and requiring that they type in the administrator password to install it.
