These range from social networks to cutting-edge connected objects. They are now a fully-fledged part of our aesthetic relationship with the world, on a par with architecture or decorative art. A certain widely distributed and highly standardised aesthetic of digital media has been created, producing strong brands in users’ minds. Users are barely aware of this aesthetic, which is well thought out. Conditioning through design pre-empts everything that the individual handles or sees in the digital world. In the wake of Bauhaus, where design is based on the search for functional aesthetics, digital technology has become a relevant field of application in EDITORIAL problem-solving. For, beyond the desire to avoid ugliness that “does not sell”, to quote Raymond Loewy, the digital promise is so broad that the functions provided by design seem endless, giving the key players that own them the expectation of a substantial return on investment. Web giants have understood this by competing to attract users, customising their experience, influencing – as subtly and as substantially as possible – their behaviour, in all fields, from leisure to politics.

  • Microsoft's Internet Exploration: Predatory Or Competitive?
    Cornell Journal of Law and Public Policy Volume 9 Article 3 Issue 1 Fall 1999 Microsoft’s Internet Exploration: Predatory or Competitive Thomas W. Hazlett Follow this and additional works at: http://scholarship.law.cornell.edu/cjlpp Part of the Law Commons Recommended Citation Hazlett, Thomas W. (1999) "Microsoft’s Internet Exploration: Predatory or Competitive," Cornell Journal of Law and Public Policy: Vol. 9: Iss. 1, Article 3. Available at: http://scholarship.law.cornell.edu/cjlpp/vol9/iss1/3 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by the Journals at Scholarship@Cornell Law: A Digital Repository. It has been accepted for inclusion in Cornell Journal of Law and Public Policy by an authorized administrator of Scholarship@Cornell Law: A Digital Repository. For more information, please contact [email protected]. MICROSOFT'S INTERNET EXPLORATION: PREDATORY OR COMPETITIVE? Thomas W. Hazlettt In May 1998 the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") accused Microsoft of violatirig the Sherman Antitrust Act by vigorously compet- ing against Netscape's Navigator software with Microsoft's rival browser, Internet Explorer. The substance of the allegation revolves around defensive actions taken by Microsoft to protect the dominant po- sition enjoyed by Microsoft's Windows operating system. The DOJ's theory is that, were it not for Microsoft's overly aggressive reaction to Netscape, Navigator software would have been more broadly distributed, thus enabling competition to Windows. This competition would have come directly from Java, a computer language developed by Sun Microsystems and embedded in Netscape software, allowing applications to run on any underlying operating system.

Page 1 INFOSEC UPDATE 2006 -- June 19-20, 2006 01 Introduction Category 01 Introduction 2006-06-12 Introduction M. E. Kabay, PhD, CISSP WELCOME Welcome to the 2005 edition of the Information Security Year in Review (IYIR) project. In 1993 and 1994, I was an adjunct professor in the Institute for Government Informatics Professionals in Ottawa, Canada under the aegis of the University of Ottawa. I taught a one-semester course introducting information security to government personnel and enjoyed the experience immensely. Many of the chapters of my 1996 textbook, _The NCSA Guide to Enterprise Security_ published by McGraw-Hill were field-tested by my students. In 1995, I was asked if I could run a seminar for graduates of my courses to bring them up to date on developments across the entire field of information security. Our course had twenty students and I so enjoyed it that I continued to develop the material and teach the course with the NCSA (National Computer Security Association; later called ICSA and then eventually renamed TruSecure Corporation and finally CyberTrust, its current name) all over the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia and the Caribbean. After a few years of working on this project, it became obvious that saving abstracts in a WordPerfect file was not going to cut it as an orderly method for organizing the increasing mass of information that I was encountering in my research.

  • Clearing of Cache & Cookies
    Clearing of Cache & Cookies What is cache? Cache memory is temporary memory used to store information that you accessed when visiting web sites. Cache speeds up a computer’s connection time with web sites that have been visited previously by locally storing information about that connection on the computer so that it does not have to be downloaded each time a site is visited. Why should cache be cleared periodically? Cache can become corrupt or outdated. As a result, cache can slow down or prevent a web page’s output and/or connection instead of assisting it. Clearing cache deletes corrupt or outdated data. It also removes unnecessary information stored in memory from sites that were only visited one time. Clearing Cache helps all web surfing not just PAWS. Internet Explorer 8 1. Open the Internet Explorer web browser. 2. Click on Tools. 3. Select Internet Options. 4.

  • Marcia Knous: My Name Is Marcia Knous
    Olivia Ryan: Can you just state your name? Marcia Knous: My name is Marcia Knous. OR: Just give us your general background. How did you come to work at Mozilla and what do you do for Mozilla now? MK: Basically, I started with Mozilla back in the Netscape days. I started working with Mozilla.org shortly after AOL acquired Netscape which I believe was in like the ’99- 2000 timeframe. I started working at Netscape and then in one capacity in HR shortly after I moved working with Mitchell as part of my shared responsibility, I worked for Mozilla.org and sustaining engineering to sustain the communicator legacy code so I supported them administratively. That’s basically what I did for Mozilla. I did a lot of I guess what you kind of call of blue activities where we have a process whereby people get access to our CVS repository so I was the gatekeeper for all the CVS forms and handle all the bugs that were related to CVS requests, that kind of thing. Right now at Mozilla, I do quality assurance and I run both our domestic online store as well as our international store where we sell all of our Mozilla gear. Tom Scheinfeldt: Are you working generally alone in small groups? In large groups? How do you relate to other people working on the project? MK: Well, it’s a rather interesting project. My capacity as a QA person, we basically relate with the community quite a bit because we have a very small internal QA organization.
