Sony’s DRM protected CDs install Windows rootkits
Tuesday, November 1, 2005
Mark Russinovich, of SysInternals.com, has discovered a so-called “rootkit” which is installed by Sony’s new digital rights management-protected music compact disks (CDs). A rootkit is a common name for malicious software that is used by computer criminals to hide their presence on a compromised computer. Rootkits frequently contain hidden files and are designed to be difficult for the user to detect and remove.
Russinovich classifies Sony’s rootkit as malware because it is alleged to introduce several serious security holes, one of which can be exploited to hide files and prevent the user from removing them. In particular, all executable files which begin with ‘$sys$’ are hidden when the software is installed. He points out that these security holes could be exploited by hackers, or other malware producers besides Sony.
Russinovich explains that naively removing the files will result in a crippling of the operating system on the user’s computer. He provides an explanation of the difficult step required to remove Sony’s malware.
Playing the same CDs on computers not running the Windows operating system, or on a non-computer based CD player remains safe. As removing Sony’s malware would violate the Digital Millennium Copyright Act’s anti-circumvention provisions, ripping the CDs on computers running a non-Windows operating system may be the best legal and technically safe option for those who wish to listen to them under Windows.
The software is automatically installed when a Sony CD is played on a computer, and is not mentioned in their EULA. The rootkit has been commercially developed by First 4 Internet and licensed to Sony.
Other rights management techniques used by music publishers recently include breaking the Red Book compact disc standard format. This technique causes many CD players to not be able to play the new CDs, but also protects against casual ripping. Fiona Apple’s recent album release in the United States uses such technology.
Men charged in US and Canada over alleged plot to arm Tamil Tigers
Tuesday, August 22, 2006
Numerous men have been charged in Canada and the United States with various crimes related to a plot to arm the Tamil Tigers who are listed as a terrorist organization in both countries. Some are accused of plotting to buy surface-to-air missiles and AK-47 rifles that would have been sent to the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka. Eight people, including three Canadian citizens, were charged in Brooklyn, New York yesterday with various offences. At the same time the Royal Canadian Mounted Police arrested a 26-year-old in Ontario in relation to the plot. He faces extradition to the United States.
Charges against the nine include fundraising and money laundering through US bank accounts and charitable organizations for the Liberation Tigers of Talim Eelam, or Tamil Tigers, who have been fighting the Sri Lankan military in a civil war since 1983.
Two of the men allegedly tried to bribe undercover US State Department officials with $1 million in order to remove the Tigers from the official list of terrorist organizations which bars the group from raising money, obtaining weapons or lobbying. A more extensive investigation ensued involving the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Joint Terrorism Task Force.
The RCMP was brought in when the FBI learned of a Canadian allegedly being involved. Ultimately, the three Canadians arrested in the United States are accused of traveling to New York to purchase the military equipment including 50 to 100 SAM missiles, assault rifles, truck mounted missiles, aerial vehicles for jamming radio transmissions and radar, submarine design software as well as flight lessons and military training.

Egypt Property Prices are on the Raise
by
Michiel Van KetsEgypt has grabbed the attention of property investors predominantly due to its steady economic growth and easy-living lifestyle. Currently, property in Egypt is still affordable, but as potential investors become increasingly aware of the amazing opportunities the country has to offer property prices are expected to rise quickly. Still widely considered as emerging, the Egypt property market has already shown healthy returns for early bird investors, in some cases returns have been as high as 20-30% depending on the location. In acknowledgment of this, the pro-foreign investment Egyptian government has stepped up its marketing initiatives, and has committed themselves to a far reaching infrastructure development programs.The focus of this influx of overseas property investment in Egypt has predominantly focused around the popular Red Sea coastal resorts, as well the major cities such as Cairo, Luxor and Alexandria. In particular, the past few years has seen a major series of construction initiatives in the coastal resort regions. Here increasing tourist figures have resulted in large increases in demand for property in Hurghada, Sharm El Sheikh, El Gouna and Marsa Alam. So why has Egypt increased in popularity such much in the past few years? In the main, visitors are attracted to this exotic, yet modern, culture and land for a variety of reasons. From most European cities and the UK, Egypt can be reached in less than 5 hours, amenities are modern, and transport facilities, including the airports as well as getting around the country itself, are already at a high standard. As well as this, the warm climate, great beaches and coastline, and wide range of activities are on offer throughout this intoxicating country. Today, the country has a strong economy and with the government actively working hard to encourage tourists to visit, these factors lay solid foundations for investors looking for long term returns from property in Egypt. The success of a country like Egypt is reliant upon the tourist industry, as more visitors see the advantages of traveling here then things can only get better. In particular, property prices remain low in comparison to other European property hot spots such as Italy and Spain. These low prices, coupled with the increasing prices of other major European holiday destinations due to currency fluctuations, have ensured that an increasing number of overseas tourists will be traveling to Egypt in the months to come. As more visitors flock to its shores Egypt has experienced an increased demand for high yielding short term holiday rentals. Also, as the Egyptian climate is good all year round there is the opportunity for year round holiday rental. Low-cost airlines have already set up flights to the Mediterranean and Red Sea resorts, reducing travel time and costs. British Airways and Egypt Air have established regular direct services between Heathrow and Cairo International Airport; from there it is easy to get connecting internal flights to the various coastal resorts. Charter flights are also available direct from the UK and Europe to the coastal resorts of Sharm el Sheikh, Marsa Alam, Hurghada and Taba. The investment opportunities for Egypt real estate are encouraging in the long term, and if you are considering investing in property here, then this is the best time to make a move. The country has a stable economy and the steady growth in GDP over the past few years is positive. The government is promoting the country to overseas investors by offering tax breaks and an uncomplicated purchasing process. Labor costs in Egypt are low, tourists are arriving in their thousands every week looking for rented accommodation, and the standard of living is improving within the country. Long-established home buying destinations, such as Spain and Turkey, are fast being overtaken in favor of Egypt. Most of the resorts offer first-class facilities and with the number of tourists arriving in the country throughout the year needing accommodation there is potential for high rental returns. The future of the country looks positive and investing in Egypt property is a wise decision that is sure to bring its rewards.

Pope speaks with astronauts in orbit for first time
Sunday, May 22, 2011
Pope Benedict XVI spoke with astronauts aboard the International Space Station yesterday, marking the first time a pope has conversed with astronauts in orbit.
Organized by the European Space Agency (ESA), the call originated from the Vatican Library at 7:11 am Eastern time. German ESA astronaut Thomas Reiter, president of the Italian Space Agency Enrico Saggese, and General Giuseppe Bernardis of the Italian Air Force were also in the room at the Vatican. Aboard the spacecraft were Italian, U.S., and Russian crew members of the Endeavour STS-134 mission and Expedition 27.
Endeavour commander and U.S. astronaut Mark Kelly greeted His Holiness aboard the spacecraft. The Pope wished Kelly’s wife, Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, well as she recovers from an assassination attempt that took place in January. Doctors inserted a hard plastic implant, or a bone flap, into Giffords’s skull last Wednesday. The Pope also asked of the astronauts’ impressions of the planet from space.
“We fly over most of the world and we don’t see borders, but at the same time we realize that people fight with each other and there is a lot of violence in this world,” Kelly said. The Pope sent his condolences to Italian astronaut Paolo Nespoli, whose mother died earlier this month while he was in space.

Real Estate Investing The Rental Retirement Plan
- Here’s An Opinion On:
- Retirement Villages In Tweed Heads South
Submitted by: G. Brian Davis
We’ll start with the assumption that you would love to retire, with reliable income flooding your account with little work on your part. For our purposes here, we’ll also assume that you’re a real estate investor or landlord.
Many real estate investors started with the goal of acquiring as much real estate as possible, gathering up rental properties with the hope of earning a few hundred dollars monthly off of each rental. Here’s a brief summary of the old real estate landlord model:
An aspiring real estate investor saves some money, and buys a fixer-upper to renovate. Once the property is finished, the investor refinances for a permanent loan, pulling back out the cash they put into the investment property, and keep the property as a rental property. With their original cash back in hand and a rental under their belt, the new landlord repeats the process, thus building an inventory of rental units.
It sounds like a sensible strategy, and in many ways it is, but the problem is that with each property, you take on all of the liability of a rental (both legal and financial), and the liability of a maximally leveraged asset. Let’s assume, for a moment, that your incoming rent is $850, your mortgage is $600, and your taxes and insurance are $100. If you use a property manager, they’ll probably charge $60-85 as well. Now you’re looking at roughly $75/month cash flow per property, according to this model.

Then one of your tenants stops paying their rent, because they lost their job. So you have to cover all those monthly expenses, plus pay the court and eviction costs, plus carry the property for several months while you or the property management company looks for a new tenant.
Then a furnace stops working in one of the properties, and must be replaced. Then a roof starts leaking, and needs to be replaced. Then one of your properties is broken into catch the point? In the immortal words of the ‘Seventies, $hit happens.
Then one of your tenants sues you for lead paint poisoning. Then the neighbors of one of your properties sues, saying that your contractor who put on that new roof did damage to their roof (you’re liable, not the contractor).
Do you see what I mean now when I say that each rental property is a liability?
So what’s the answer? Don’t buy rental properties? Don’t invest in real estate? Sell all of your rental units?
None of the above. The answer is to minimize your liability, while maximizing your profit. This means that having 30 rental units, all leveraged to the hilt, may not be the right approach, but having 5 rental properties that are all owned free and clear is great position to hold. If you didn’t have the $600 mortgage on each property, then your monthly cash flow suddenly jumped from $75 to $675 PER PROPERTY.
So exercise some fiscal restraint, and pay off your mortgages. If that means selling three quarters of your rental inventory to pay off the rest, then so be it; you’ll have drastically reduced your legal and financial liability (not to mention headaches), and improved your passive monthly income.

Pope attacked during Christmas Eve Mass
Saturday, December 26, 2009
A woman attacked Pope Benedict XVI during Christmas Eve Mass at St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City, causing a disruption to the ceremonies. The pope was unharmed and got to his feet and completed the Mass, although afterwards he was taken to a local hospital for evaluation. French Cardinal Roger Etchegaray also fell down and broke a leg. The accused assailant, Susanna Maiolo, is a 25-year-old Swiss national from the Ticino region, is reported to have psychiatric problems.
Susanna Maiolo also attempted to attack the pope during last years Midnight Mass, although she was stopped by security. During both assaults it appears that she was wearing the same red sweater. Vatican spokesman, Rev Federico Lombardi said that “She is known to the Vatican but she was never thought to have been of any serious danger to the Holy Father.”
Despite the attack the pontiff decided to continue the midnight mass services. Although noticeably shaken, he still delivered the traditional “Urbi et Orbi” speech. In this years speech he mentioned the current financial crisis, conflicts in Africa and Israel, and the state of the Christian minority in Iraq.
