Biographical/Historical Note Esther Dyson was born July 14, 1951, in Zürich, Switzerland, to physicist Freeman Dyson and mathematician Verena Huber-Dyson. At age 16, Dyson was accepted to Harvard University, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in economics in 1972. After graduation, she went to work at Forbes as a fact-checker and then reporter from 1974 to 1977. In 1977, she started working as a Wall Street securities analyst for New Court Securities (later called Rothschild) and then Oppenheimer and Company, specializing in high-tech and software companies. In 1982, Dyson began working with Rosen Research firm and its founder, venture capitalist Ben Rosen. The next year, she bought the firm from Rosen, which included the newsletter Rosen’s Electronic News and the annual PC Forum conference. She renamed the firm EDventure Holdings and the newsletter Release 1.0, and began organizing PC Forum, which she helmed each year until its last conference in 2006. After Dyson took it over, PC Forum was considered one of the premier conferences in the technology industry. Dyson published Release 1.0 from 1983 through 2006, with a break in 1985 when she accepted an offer to edit Ziff-Davis’ short-lived newsletter Computer Industry Daily (CID), which only lasted a few months. Release 1.0 focused on Dyson’s analysis and projections of emerging technologies, and the software and technology industries. As a paid-subscription publication, Release 1.0 had a fairly small readership but its subscribers were considered highly influential in the industry. With EDventure Holdings, Dyson has invested in technology start-ups, more recently focusing on health care and aerospace. In the late 1980s, she started investing in Eastern and Central European technology ventures. She was an early investor in Flickr, Evernote, Medstory, and Square, and was active in the sale of Flickr to Yahoo! and Medstory to Microsoft. In the 1990s, Dyson became involved in internet public policy. She chaired several organizations, including the National Information Infrastructure Advisory Council (NIIAC) and the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), and she was a founding chair of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). Dyson’s book, Release 2.0: A Design for Living in the Digital Age, was published in 1997, and she has written columns for the New York Times, ZDNet, Project Syndicate, the Guardian, Content magazine, and other publications. Dyson sold EDventure Holdings, Release 1.0, and PC Forum to CNET Networks in 2004. She left CNET three years later, but has Guide to the Esther Dyson papers X2780.2004; X2957.2005 2 continued to work under the EDventure Holdings name. She also sits on the boards of several companies and nonprofits. Scope and Content of the Collection The Esther Dyson papers are comprised of material Dyson collected from 1974 to 2001, with the bulk of material from 1980 to 1996, related to her work analyzing and making projections on emerging technologies, her industry newsletter Release 1.0, and her venture capitalism firm EDventure Holdings. The largest part of the collection contains material related to various topics, companies, and products that reflect Dyson’s venture capitalism and interest in the computer and software industry. A smaller but significant part of the collection relates to Dyson’s industry-analyst newsletter Release 1.0 and its Eastern European-focused sister publication Rel-EAST, including edited drafts of the newsletters and material used for research on the subjects, products, and companies she wrote about. The smallest part of the collection consists of books, manuals, periodicals, and computer industry conference proceedings and workbooks that are focused on computer technology, software, programming, and development. Arrangement The collection is arranged into 3 series: Series 1, Subject files, 1974-2001, bulk 1980-1996 Series 2, Release 1.0 files, 1979-1996 Series 3, Books, manuals, periodicals, and conference material, 1982-1992 Separated Material Software was separated from the main collection (X2957.2005).

BRENNER* This Article explains why and how computer technology complicates the related processes of identifying internal (crime and terrorism) and external (war) threats to social order of respondingto those threats. First, it divides the process-attribution-intotwo categories: what-attribution (what kind of attack is this?) and who-attribution (who is responsiblefor this attack?). Then, it analyzes, in detail, how and why our adversaries' use of computer technology blurs the distinctions between what is now cybercrime, cyberterrorism, and cyberwarfare. The Article goes on to analyze how and why computer technology and the blurring of these distinctions erode our ability to mount an effective response to threats of either type.

Also, I should note that a few of these entries are taken from "A Complete List of Hacker Slang and Other Things," Version 1C, by Casual, Bloodwing and Crusader; this doc started out as an unofficial update. However, I've updated, altered, expanded, re-written and otherwise torn apart the original document, so I'd be surprised if you could find any vestiges of the original file left. I think the list is very informative; it came out in 1990, though, which makes it somewhat outdated. I also got a lot of information from the works listed in my bibliography, (it's at the end, after all the quotes) as well as many miscellaneous back issues of such e-zines as _Cheap Truth _, _40Hex_, the _LOD/H Technical Journals_ and _Phrack Magazine_; and print magazines such as _Internet Underground_, _Macworld_, _Mondo 2000_, _Newsweek_, _2600: The Hacker Quarterly_, _U.S. News & World Report_, _Time_, and _Wired_; in addition to various people I've consulted.

  • Esther Dyson on Health, Technology and Silicon Valley ('It's Totally a Bubble')
    5/7/2014 Esther Dyson on health, technology and Silicon Valley ('It's totally a bubble') Esther Dyson on health, technology and Silicon Valley ('It's totally a bubble') The Wall Street Journal · by Alexandra Wolfe Esther Dyson Mike McGregor for The Wall Street Journal https://www.instapaper.com/read/477766982 1/5 5/7/2014 Esther Dyson on health, technology and Silicon Valley ('It's totally a bubble') The philanthropist and investor Esther Dyson was recently shopping at Whole Foods when an angry 5-year-old started stamping his foot and screaming, “Dad, I want the broccoli! I want the broccoli!” A surprising choice for a youngster, perhaps, but Ms. Dyson, 62, was sympathetic. Known for her involvement in technology and aerospace, she is now tackling health—or, as she prefers to say, trying to “produce” it—through her nonprofit HICCup, which stands for Health Initiative Coordinating Council. The group aims to help communities actively improve their residents’ health in a variety of ways, from helping them to connect with grocery stores and restaurants in test-marketing healthy food to encouraging citizens to exercise with fitness trackers. Part of the goal is to test the idea that these approaches work best in combination. “I’m not a traditional philanthropist,” says Ms. Dyson, sitting shoeless and cross-legged on a beanbag in her office in downtown Manhattan. She’s wearing a geek-chic ensemble of jeans, T-shirt and fitness-tracking bracelet, but Ms. Dyson isn’t a typical tech investor either. Instead of investing in what she calls “redundant” friend-finder apps and social-media companies, she has helped fund ventures as varied as space tourism and air taxis.

One such might run: “The content goes about “collecting” “commodif[ying], and discussing it.” hosted on your site must consist of scholarly articles.
