| 2006/01/04 | 'Net Effect: Shrinking Newsprint The average weekday U.S. newspaper circulation has taken another hit, falling 2.6 percent in the past six-month period. The falling numbers marked a 14-year low compared to any other six-month period since 1991. More than 47 million people visited newspaper Web sites in September 2005. That number reflects nearly one-third of all Internet users and is the highest number recorded since the association began tracking online usage in January 2004. It's clear that newspapers' longstanding position of trust as part of the communities they serve has only strengthened, not weakened, in the Internet era," NAA President and CEO John F. Sturm said in a statement. "Newspapers are continuing to attract readers, whether they're reading the traditional printed newspaper, a newspaper Web site, a free daily paper or another newspaper niche product," Sturm stated. Newspapers have continued to look online to offset competition from alternative news sources, primarily on the Internet. In the past year, several big-name organizations have made moves to solidify their online presences.@Netnews.com November 9, 2005 |
| 2005/12/07 | Most Americans Say 'Net is a Danger to Kids Nearly everyone thinks the Internet is a menace to kids. In a survey conducted by Harris Interactive for Zone Labs, 94% of consumers agreed that the Internet presents a threat to children. The respondents' biggest fear was that kids would connect with pedophiles in chat rooms; 61% cited predators in chat rooms as the biggest threat. An additional 16 percent said pornographic Web sites posed a danger. Consumers in this survey didn't think the hazards of spyware and identity theft applied to children. Only 8 percent believed phishing was the biggest threat to kids. Just 3 percent identified spyware as the biggest threat to kids, and a mere 4 percent said viruses were the worst danger. Of course, they are a danger to adults with credit cards and credit scores, yet only 50 percent had installed a software firewall, and only 23 percent had installed a full security suite to secure their personal computers against such Internet threats.

| 2005/11/21 | Skype May See Restrictions in China The Chinese government is preparing to block access to Skype's popular Internet telephone service that has been undercutting the country's telecom business, according to the Shanghai Daily online newspaper. The government is also said to be preparing to take the lead in limiting the VoIP software that allows people to make calls through computer terminals, according to the paper. Under the current laws and regulations in China, PC-to-phone services are strictly regulated and only China Telecom and China Netcom are permitted to experiment with VoIP, the spokesperson told the newspaper. China has a tradition of blocking access to Web sites based on politically sensitive subjects. Such was the case in June when Microsoft caved from government pressure and agreed to abide by censors banning the words "freedom" and "democracy" on its Chinese internet portal, MSN China. However, the Skype case appears to be strictly a matter of economics, since Internet-based calls are much cheaper than landline calls. It is not clear with the ban will have an impact on Skype's rumored talks with auction giant eBay (Quote, Chart), which is said to be in negotiations to buy the company. Neither company would comment on those rumored talks. Internet News com 2005/09/09 |
| 2005/11/19 | Hollywood seeks Internet2 tests, P2P oversight The Motion Picture Association of America is in talks with the Internet2 research consortium, hoping both to test next-generation video delivery projects and to monitor peer-to-peer piracy on the ultrahigh-speed network. Internet2 is essentially a vastly faster version of the Internet run by universities and technology companies, aimed at facilitating research into high-bandwidth hardware and applications, and helping researchers who exchange huge amounts of data. Student file-swapping traffic also has found its way onto the network, however. Recently, researchers successfully sent data from Switzerland to Tokyo at speeds of 7.21 gigabits per second. That was enough speed to transfer a full-length DVD anywhere in the world in less than five seconds, researchers said. CNET News 2004/11/18 |
| 2005/09/15 | Smaller Screens, Bigger Brains Three scientific studies found what parents already tell their kids: It's better to stare at the PC screen instead of the TV. In one study, researchers at the Dunedin School of Medicine, studied 1,000 New Zealanders, most of whom were 26 years old. They found that the more time the research subjects had spent watching TV during childhood, the more likely they were not to have made it through college. They posit that there's a simple trade-off between watching television and doing homework with no intellectual benefits to the tube. A study by Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School and Stanford Department of Pediatricsfound that media influence children's development. They surveyed grade-schoolers in six diverse California schools over the course of a year. They found that kids who had a TV in their bedrooms had significantly lower test scores than those who didn't. Kids without a bedroom boob tube and did have access to a home computer had the highest test scores. Researchers of University of Washington analyzed data on kids' TV habits in order to study the effect of watching TV and reading skills development. They looked at scores on three reading and comprehension tests. Children under three watched an average of 2.2 hours per day; at ages 3 to 5 years, the daily average was 3.3 hours. The under-three couch potatoes had lower scores on all three tests. They concluded that watching TV could stunt the thinking of children under three. They advised parents to follow the American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines and not let kids under two watch TV at all. Internetnews.com 2005/06/06 |

| 2005/09/13 | One in three music discs is illegal but fight back starts to show results One in three music discs sold worldwide is an illegal copy, creating a US$4.6 billion music pirate market that destroys jobs, kills investment and funds organized crime. A total of 1.2 billion pirate music discs were sold in 2004 - 34% of all discs sold worldwide. But growth in disc piracy has slowed to its lowest level in five years, partly thanks to stepped up enforcement efforts in countries including Mexico, Brazil, Hong Kong, Paraguay and Spain. Sales of pirate music exceed the legitimate market in a record 31 countries in 2004 - including, for the first time, Chile, Czech Republic, Greece, India and Turkey. Industry anti-piracy efforts, backed by forensics and working closely with agencies such as Interpol, helped in the decommissioning of CD plant lines with the capacity to supply 380 million discs, or half the entire disc market for music in the US. There were also record seizures of CD burners, which doubled in 2004 to 28,350. IFPI TOP TEN PRIORITY COUNTRIES Brazil(52% piracy rate), China(85%) the world's largest pirate market, worth US$411 million.India(56%) Indonesia(80%), Mexico(60%), Pakistan(59%) is one of the world's biggest exporters of pirate discs. Paraguay(99%), Russia(66%) is the world's second largest pirate market, with capacity far exceeding local demand. Russian-made pirate disc exports in over 27 countries. Spain (24%) Music disc piracy rose 2% to 1.2 billion discs in 2004, the lowest level of growth in five years but nearly twice the number of pirated discs in 2000. Sales of all pirate recordings fell slightly to 1.5 billion units, as cassette piracy fell by 28% to 390 million units in 2004.The value of the world music pirate market was largely flat at US$4.6 billion in 2004 (US$4.5 billion in 2003). |

| 2005/02/20 | Security research suggests Linux has fewer flaws The Linux operating system has many times fewer bugs than typical commercial software, according to an upcoming report. The conclusion is the result of a four-year research project conducted by code-analysis company Coverity. The project found 985 bugs in the 5.7 million lines of code that make up the latest version of the Linux core operating system, or kernel. A typical commercial program of similar size usually has more than 5,000 flaws or defects, according to data from Carnegie Mellon University. "Linux is a very good system in terms of bug density," said Seth Hallem, CEO of Coverity, a San Francisco company that makes flaw-detection tools for software written in C and C++ programming languages.

| 2004/10/18 | That Would Be Sir Tim (Berners-Lee) ITmedia 2004/07/20 Tim Berners-Lee, the man credited with the creation of the World Wide Web, received a knight by Queen Elizabeth. Berners-Lee, 48, was knighted in recognition of his "services to the global development of the Internet" for helping to invent the Web. Berners-Lee is a British citizen who lives in the U.S. and serves as director of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), which he also helped found. He was officially made a Knight Commander of the British Empire (KBE). The rank of Knight Commander is the second most senior rank of the order of the British Empire. The London-born Berners-Lee graduated from the Queen's College at Oxford University, England in 1976. Berners-Lee sowed the seeds of the Web in 1980 where, working as a software engineer for the European Particle Physics Laboratory in Geneva (CERN), he wrote "Enquire," a program for storing information. This program formed the conceptual basis for the Web. In 1989, he proposed the Web as a global project designed to allow people to work together by combining their knowledge in a Web of hypertext documents. In October 1990, Berners-Lee wrote the first Web server, "httpd", and the first client, "World Wide Web," a what-you-see-is-what-you-get hypertext browser/editor which ran in the NeXTStep environment, according to his biography. He is credited with spearheading initial specifications of the Web's fundamental protocols, URI (define), HTTP (define), and a markup language for linking documents and Web pages, HTML (define). He later documented the Web's birth and evolution in the book "Weaving The Web," published in 1999 |

By the end of 2003, the gap is expected to remain, with 7.5 million DSL subscribers compared with 13.3 million for cable, In-Stat/MDR estimates. However, the researcher said its projections don't take into account the latest round of DSL price cuts and warned that it may revise its numbers. Cable companies offer temporary discounts to first-time broadband subscribers that can cut monthly fees by more than half for the first six months or so of service. Ultimately, though, they don't want a price war. Instead, they hope customers will pay a normal price of between $45 and $55 a month for speeds up to 40 times faster than those available with standard dial-up connections. In contrast, $26.95 a month gets subscribers to SBC Communications' industry-low promotional DSL plan speeds that are about five times those available through America Online's $23.90 a month dial-up service. The SBC price applies for the first year of service, then rises to the normal rate of $39.95. ZDNet 2003/10/14 |
| 2003/11/30 | Global outsourcing helps U.S. Labor shortages and immigration curbs are making offshore outsourcing even more important to maintaining growth in the U.S. economy, according to a report market research firm Evalueserve released this week. The firm said outsourcing to offshore locations could increase the competitiveness of American companies due to lower costs, increased flexibility and access to trained workers. And if local economies grow, it could mean new markets for the goods and services of U.S. businesses. For every $100 worth of work shipped offshore, $130 to $145 will be reinvested in the U.S. economy, according to Evalueserve. ZDNet 2003/10/14 |
