US Department of Homeland Security Calls On Computer Users To Disable Java

"Concerns about the susceptibility of the Java programming language to cyberattacks culminated Thursday night, with a warning posted on the Department of Homeland Security’s Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-Cert)calling on the public to temporarily disable Java on their personal computers.

The call came in response to the discovery of a new vulernability that lets an attacker execute code on a PC running Java. The vulnerability is reportedly already being used in “exploit kits” which are pre-packaged, for-sale tool kits that can be used to commit online crimes such as stealing someone’s identity."

Co-Founder of Reddit, Aaron Swartz commits suicide

"Swartz was indicted in July 2011 by a federal grand jury for allegedly mass downloading documents from the JSTOR online journal archive with the intent to distribute them. He subsequently moved to Brooklyn, New York, where he then worked for Avaaz Foundation, a nonprofit “global web movement to bring people-powered politics to decision-making everywhere.” Swartz appeared in court on Sept. 24, 2012 and pleaded not guilty.

The accomplished Swartz co-authored the now widely-used RSS 1.0 specification at age 14, was one of the three co-owners of the popular social news site Reddit, and completed a fellowship at Harvard’s Ethics Center Lab on Institutional Corruption. In 2010, he founded DemandProgress.org, a “campaign against the Internet censorship bills SOPA/PIPA.”"

Beats Audio CEO Urged Jobs to Create Subscription Music in 2002

 

"CEO Jimmy Iovine sheds light on the early influences that former Apple CEO Steve Jobs considered when iTunes was still in its infancy. According to the interview, Mr. Iovine strongly urged Mr. Jobs to create a subscription music service over 10 years ago, but the Apple CEO was hesitant.

Mr. Iovine became determined to launch a music subscription service in the early 2000s after witnessing the music industry’s inability to adapt to the online digital music revolution. He took his concerns to the heads of several tech companies but wasn’t able to convince them of the strategy’s importance. Only late Apple CEO Steve Jobs “smelled it the most,” Mr. Iovine told AllThingsD.

Despite the forward-thinking mentality that Mr. Jobs was known for, even he was not initially sold on the idea of an online subscription service, according to Mr. Iovine"
