Mossberg, Levy And Arrington Talk iPhone, Yahoo On Charlie Rose

Erick Schonfeld

10 comments »

Our own Michael Arrington joins Wired’s Steven Levy and the Wall Street Journal’s Walt Mossberg on last night’s Charlie Rose show. Most of the discussion was on the iPhone 3G and how Apple continues to turn the mobile world on its head. At the end of the discussion the trio also talk about Yahoo’s future.

This is Mike’s third appearance on the show this year. See his March and May conversations with Rose as well.

Umm… this is kinda frightening…

Pulled from BBC:

Attacks begin on net address flaw

Attackers could use the loophole to redirect web users to fake sites

Attack code that exploits flaws in the net's addressing system are starting to circulate online, say security experts.

The code could be a boon to phishing gangs who redirect web users to fake bank sites and steal login details.

In light of the news net firms are being urged to apply a fix for the loop-hole before attacks by hi-tech criminals become widespread.

Net security groups say there is anecdotal evidence that small scale attacks are already happening.

Address list

"We are in a lot of trouble," said security guru Dan Kaminsky who found the flaw in the net's Domain Name System (DNS) in March 2008.

"This attack is very good," he said. "This attack is being weaponised out in the field. Everyone needs to patch, please."

The DNS acts as the net's address system and helps computers translate the website names people use, such as bbc.co.uk, into the numerical equivalents preferred by machines.

If exploited the flaw would allow malicious hackers to direct people to fake sites even if that user typed in the correct address for the place they wanted to visit.

Now security researchers have come up with two separate methods for attacking the flaw.

The code used in the attacks has been added to a popular testing tool called Metasploit used by both good and bad hackers alike to find weaknesses in computer systems.

The attack code was developed following the accidental leaking of the bug Mr Kaminsky discovered. Initially he had planned to release more information in October.

After being discovered in March, information about it was shared with large net organisations such as Cisco, Google, Yahoo and Microsoft to give them chance to produce patches and fixes.

Now net supply firms are being urged to get on with the job of updating their systems so customers are not left at risk.

Smart Car Marketing

nobody@vox.com(Talent Zoo) — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 16:35:48 +0000

Locally, I see a ton of personal vehicles used for the purpose of advertising. And trust me, companies will pay because your car will reach exposure beyond possible outlets a local company may be able to go.

Unfortunately, since I was driving myself, I didn’t get a picture of the exact car that I saw, but this person went above and beyond just slapping an ad about the company on her car, she was marketing herself as the brand to get your company noticed.

At quick glance, not only would she advertise your company / product on her car, she would give you word of mouth - talk to people in coffee shops, mention you while out shopping, even spread around your business card in drop boxes at area businesses she would visit.

What stood out was she never mentioned....................

Former Ad Guy Saves World with Karaoke

nobody@vox.com(Talent Zoo) — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 16:26:14 +0000

Almost.

Patrick Kirk (PK) Gillock is not the seventh son of the seventh son of the seventh son of the seventh son of the fabled art director who first put a client’s logo in the lower right-hand corner of the spread (only to be told by the client to move it back to the center of the page and make the wood nymphs larger). But he did follow his father’s footsteps into the industry. He just didn’t stay there.

After ten years as a graphic/web designer in Seattle working for clients like Microsoft (well, not exactly like Microsoft, I hope), PK gave up the unadulterated glamour of the ad biz, sold everything he owned and headed to Thailand. Not to party, but to volunteer in humanitarian relief efforts.

Three years later, in 2005, PK founded Isara (is-ar-uh), a charity that promotes education, health and safety issues, environmental responsibility and technological access to its surrounding Thai neighbors. And it does it mostly through its website, Isara.org – a web portal that “uses 100% of your visits and clicks to create its own humanitarian projects. Each time you visit, search, play a game, or host an image, you are directly helping the less fortunate. Free!”

So instead of making The Rich Jerk richer by clicking links, you actually help people. Who actually need it. It’s madness. Madness.

To supplement this stream of charitable income, PK has decided to attempt something no other human being has ever done. Or should ever do. On August 1, 2008,.........................

How Search Works With Social Media

nobody@vox.com(Talent Zoo) — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 16:21:23 +0000

There is no doubt that online marketing and content are heavily influenced by social media. When you create content specifically for the purpose of popularity on social sites, well, the results can boost your traffic enormously! Here are some tips for popular Social Media tools, that if properly implemented, will have great short-term effects (for all purposes, I’m assuming that short-term goals such as a spike in traffic is what you or your brand is after):..........

How many blogs should one person have?

nobody@vox.com(BigFreaky) — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 16:19:25 +0000

Well here I am on yet another blog service... I don't really even post that much to my 'normal' blog (but I should) and here I have yet another site for it. A lot of sites now a days really try to encompass everything. Blog, audio, video, favorite links... what have you. Which is all fine and good, but really hard to keep track of everything. But I don't know which is harder? The person posting all the info or the people trying to keep up with their friends (be it irl friends or simply online friends). I mean don't get me wrong, having all these sites to post stuff is really cool, but how can you know which one is best? Which one is actually going to be around "forever", which one is going to draw more people to it? I guess it is all uncertainty because it is the net, because all these services are free (for the most part). I guess the only way to make sure it is never lost is to run your own site.... But still that is never 100% for sure. I guess I will just keep throwing things out there and see what happens. I just hope I can keep up!

Just a random photo from my Flickr site... feel free to check it out if you have some time.

Traditional Online Press Room or Social Media Newsroom?

nobody@vox.com(Talent Zoo) — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 16:17:04 +0000

Traditional press kits are quickly becoming a thing of the past, especially since most journalists now prefer the least amount of tangible press kits. Journalists now would prefer to bookmark a company’s website page for reference as oppose to collecting and archiving tons of press kits.

For this reason, many PR firms are suggesting that their clients create online press rooms. These online press rooms allow journalists to review the contents at their leisure, download important images, and read any available press clippings. One feature that many have is a password protection. This feature allows the PR representative to monitor any interest from the press as the press would have to request the password to access this area.

Now with social media quickly becoming a part of today’s PR strategy, online press rooms are also adapting to this new trend. Some companies have elected to design a Social Media News Room as an alternative. The Social Media News Room or SMNR is built using a blog framework, allowing press releases to be commented on by visitors, just as traditional blogs allow.

The benefits of using a SMNR instead of the traditional press room are:.........

Realism in video game world

nobody@vox.com(Talent Zoo) — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 16:12:49 +0000

From time to time Hollywood puts out video games based on movies. They range from Shrek, to GoldenEye to every comic book imaginable. Then, in the past decade or so, primetime television shows (not including cartoons or game shows) decided, “Hey we can do that too!” with the release of brand extension console games for CSI, 24, The Sopranos, and American Idol and an upcoming one based on Dexter from Showtime.

None of the games have ever done really well in comparison with other game series such as Final Fantasy, Legend of Zelda or Halo. But a new one is on the horizon that I believe might do a bit better than those previously released. For nearly 3 years.........................

Excerpt Taken From: "SEO coming out of the shadows"

nobody@vox.com(Talent Zoo) — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 16:37:46 +0000

SEO is leaving its roots behind. It’s not an “in-the-know,” esoteric discipline. Fewer and fewer people are wrinkling their foreheads and saying “What?” when it’s mentioned.

It’s now front-of-mind and on the tip of the tongue for a much larger group of business and marketing strategists. From small business to large, companies with a huge consumer market to those who sell specialized products within a single vertical, the word is getting out that SEO is a necessity.

In a striking move,...........................

“When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace” - Sir Chimhoy Ghose.

Every now and then a friend of mine from the other side of the world sends me a link of an item that moved him or her, that link sparked something with in them and they choose to take the time and spread their thought and emotions regarding that event. I decide to take my precious time and embark on an adventure which will connect us to a higher meaning of relationships. This bonds us and make us wonder about how souls connect and interact.

Today a dear friend took the time to send me a link to an on-line powerful documentary about the interlinks between Christianity, 911, education, media, The Federal Reserve and much much more. the movie titled ’Zeitgeist - the spirit of time’ and it’s a document which was first aired on Google video on December 2007 and already won The best documentary award in the Artivist film festival in Hollywood 2007.

Excerpt Taken From: "Advertising Pie Wedge"

nobody@vox.com(Talent Zoo) — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 16:23:34 +0000

In my continuing evolution as a Graphic Designer, I’m discovering the many diverse angles and possibilities in the field of Marketing and Advertising. There is a major misconception in what Marketing and Advertising is–many (including myself at one point) think that Marketing and Advertising are separate entities. I have learned that this is not the case. You may think that I must be naive or ill-informed. Perhaps I am, but I learn best at my own pace; and I learn quickly by hands-on experience.

There is indeed an “us and them” mindset, at least where I came from in print advertising. At the newspaper where I worked, there was Advertising, Editorial, Interactive and Marketing. These sections all had their own unique brand of Graphic Designers...........................

Excerpt Taken From: "Use Employee Downtime for Productive Blogging"

nobody@vox.com(Talent Zoo) — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 17:23:25 +0000

Goofing off happens. Whether it’s an overworked accounting department taking time off to participate in a “Finer Things Club” like the hilarious employees on The Office or a marketing meeting devolving into all-out Nerf gun warfare or taking a smoke break to blow off a little steam - everybody does it. It’s healthy! Well, except the smoking. Like physical exercise, mental strain from focusing for long periods of time takes a toll on the human brain and, without a break, mistakes happen. But in an age where productivity is king, where cutthroat competition drives companies to seek time-saving innovations from practically any avenue, the practice of goofing off is often frowned upon. The more a company attempts to control the time of their employees, the more the employees will take their goofing off underground…which can quickly sink morale. What if you could channel the energy employees use for goofing off into something that could increase your search rankings?

You can.................

Introducing Qik: For Windows Mobile

nobody@vox.com(Warren) — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 18:25:40 +0000

Qik is a new service that allow you to stream live video from your phone to a blog or friend & family members. Once you complete a live stream from your mobile device the Qilk will then archive the video directly on their site like You Tube. Today, Qik officially entered public beta. As long as you have a smartphone running Windows Mobile and a data plan, you're ready to share whatever your little heart desires.

Qik is a very cool service. Basically, if you're a mobile video fanatic, you need to sign up. I shoot video using my cell phone all the time. Transferring it to other sites was a major pain until Qik came around. Using Qik, any video you shoot is streamed live, and also archived at the same time, so you can watch it again later. For those who need to share what they see and don't think picture messages or MMS messages are enough, this is the avenue you need to take.

According to the Qik blog, the service supports several Windows Mobile devices and about two dozen S60 smartphones from Nokia. Qik is working to add more phones to the list of devices it supports, and currently has a private alpha available for the iPhone. Even if you have a phone that is not supported, you can sign up and join in the community aspect of Qik.
The beta program is free, and requires users to have a data plan with their carrier. I suggest you check it out.

www.qik.com

As of today only four windows mobile phones are supported, Motorola Q9c, Motorola Q9h , Samsung Blackjack II , and the Samsung SGH-I600, with promised support the HTC Shift, HTC Touch, HTC Touch Diamond, and the HTC TyTN II. I can't see why anyone with a Window Mobile 5/6 phone can't post the cab and expect it not work with most other WM devices.

Why I don't have kids...

nobody@vox.com(Anyonebutmeplease) — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 16:50:14 +0000

I'm exhausted.
The alarm went off for about 40 mins before I could actually function enough to move.
It's only day 2 though.
I think I'll get into the swing of things after awhile at least that's what I've found when I worked two jobs in the past. Not that this is exactly a job.*

Yesterday was a good day. We hung out, played some video games, watched some Tv. (By Tv I mean some kid shows on the Internet... very boring but he seems to love them.) There was some mild boundary pushing yesterday but it's all good because I can push back. I've watched kids enough to know how they act and though in the past (mainly with my nephews) I was a bit of a softie... I've lost that aspect. Plus, I know his dad doesn't take any crap so why should I?

Today, not so much of an easy day. Granted, it's early, and the day could still change but it's a whiny day for sure. That's alright. I feel kind of bad though, I can't imagine hanging out with an adult all day makes for a great summer vacation. I was thinking about going to the park today but it's looking kind of cruddy out so maybe we'll nix that idea but maybe not. Possibly the library too. He's a big reader, books would be good, I could use some books too. I've gotta find some non-tv/computer things for us to do.

I need coffee.
I have tomorrow off. That's awesome. Granted, the T has some court thing tomorrow night so I'm gonna be watching Little T tomorrow night, at least I don't need to go to work, and I can go to bed early and get more than 5 hours of sleep. YAY!

I'm getting the urge to roam again. Hardcore. Roam or Run? I'm not sure which. It doesn't matter 'cause I'm going to ignore it but I think (hope) that by acknowledging it will make it dissipate.

*It is a job, and I mean no offense to any single parents out there but sitting and blogging or watching movies or going to the park with the kid are all things that I would do without the kid. I have a point here but I'm loosing it somewhere in the muddle.
