Remote Access Policies

Samalie writes "My company is considering implementing a formal remote access policy (and agreement for staff to sign) for users who access our network from home via VPN. Does anyone out there have any suggestions as to what this policy/agreement should contain? Anyone have their own corporate policy that I can borrow from? This is the first time I've come across anyone wanting a formal policy for this & online searches haven't been very helpful."

Jesse Brown: The Bogus Cost of Piracy

Those two daunting numbers will be familiar to anyone who has been following the corporate and governmental push for stricter Intellectual Property legislation. The first - $250 billion - is the figure commonly cited as the amount of money lost to I.P. piracy annually. The second is the total number of jobs lost. These figures have been used by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Customs and Border Patrol, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the FBI, the International Anti-Counterfeiting Coalition, The International Trademark Coalition, and countless media reports. The numbers are big, daunting, and useful to anyone trying to prove that piracy must be stopped.

Blow-Controlled Phone Camera Can Only Take Pictures of Confused, Concerned People

There are some inventions that cause electronics manufacturers and consumers alike to wonder why they hadn't been invented before, and how anyone ever lived without them. And then there's this. Fantalog Interactive has devised a camera phone that takes pictures when you blow on it. Apparently following some kind of hilarious global realization that phones can be controlled with stale air, the Fantalog 'Emotion' blow-camera is not only inspiring because it's the first of its kind, but because its invention has come to pass despite providing no conceivable benefit to anyone at all.

Vintage & thrift stores see boom in holiday sales

"I have five holiday parties to go to in the next month and I need a great outfit," Goodmann said. The 32-year-old, who recently lost her job at an investment bank, didn't want anyone to know she was getting sucker-punched by the market crisis. "I want to look sexy and stylish and I don't want anyone to know I am broke."

Build It. Share It. Profit. Can Open Source Hardware Work? (Wired)

Right now, open design pioneers tend to follow one of two economic models. The first is not to worry about selling much hardware but instead to sell your expertise as the inventor. If anyone can manufacture a device, then the most efficient manufacturer will do so at the best price. Fine, let them. It'll ensure your contraption is widely distributed. Because you're the inventor, though, the community of users will inevitably congregate around you, much as Torvalds was the hub for Linux. You will always be the first to hear about cool improvements or innovative uses for your device. That knowledge becomes your most valuable asset, which you can sell to anyone.

Husband blames iPhone for smutty pictures that upset his wife

"Please help! I took my husband's i-phone and found a raunchy picture of him attached to an e-mail to a woman in his sent e-mail file (a Yahoo account). When I approached him about this (I think that he is cheating on me) he admitted that he took the picture but says that he never sent it to anyone. He claims that he went to the Genius Bar at the local Apple store and they told him that it is an i-phone glitch: that photos sometimes automatically attach themselves to an e-mail address and appear in the sent folder, even though no e-mail was ever sent. Has anyone ever heard of this happening? The future of my marriage depends on this answer!"

BlueMaemo Turns Your Nokia Tablet Into a Wireless Mouse, Keyboard

Usually, the only reason we use the keyboards on internet tablets is because we can't get to a more comfortable input device. Still, if you want to turn that on your head, here's a beta application for Nokia Internet Tablets (the N800 and N810 specifically) that let you use them as a keypad and mouse for your main computer. BlueMaemo uses Bluetooth and works with Windows XP, Vista and Linux BlueZ. I guess it could be fun for freaking out anyone who's using your desktop at the time. Can anyone say awesome Halloween prank? [JK on the Run]

Car crash art installation 'sick,' says British road safety charity

An art installation featuring a mangled car nestled against a tree has raised criticism from Brake, a British road safety charity. The installation is located outside Staffordshire University's Film Theatre as part of Stoke-on-Trent's Conjunc+ion 08 art festival and features the pre-recorded cries of injured passengers. A recording from the car's trunk continually repeats: "Help, help, come on guys, is anyone there? Can you hear me?" According to the U. K. Daily Mail, at least two passersby have attempted to break into the vehicle to rescue survivors. While the school defends the art, a spokesman said the audio track would be turned off during the night. "It has aroused interest among students, staff and passersby," he said. "However, as we don't wish to cause anyone alarm, we have taken steps to make sure the voice recording .

Did anyone think that Stanford was going to throw $20 million at a cricket match without wanting his pound of flesh?

Sean Morris, the chief executive of the Professional Cricketers’ Association (PCA), added further pressure on David Collier and Giles Clarke, respectively the chief executive and chairman of the ECB, and the main architects of the deal with Allen Stanford, when he revealed yesterday that about half the England squad had requested a meeting with him on Wednesday evening to express concerns over the fallout from the Stanford Super Series.

Is Anyone Buying T-Mobile's Googlephone?

Hugh Pickens writes "Laura Holson writes in the NY Times that she 'wandered down to the T-Mobile store at Ninth Ave. and 43rd St. in New York City to see what kind of crowds — if any — were lining up to buy the new T-Mobile G1 which went on sale Wednesday' and saw no lines out the door, no crowding at the counter, and a complete lack of crowds. The iPhone appears to still be the gold standard and Etan Horowitz writes that the G1 'doesn't do a great job showcasing its potential. It isn't as intuitive as the iPhone, and it may take average users a while to figure out basic and advanced shortcuts and features' and 'may appeal more to techies who value open-source products and don't mind a somewhat steep learning curve.' Part of the reason for slow interest may also be that T-Mobile's 3G high-speed data network won't be up and running in

Is Anyone Buying the Googlephone?

I wandered down to the T-Mobile store at Ninth Ave. and 43rd St. in New York City to see what kind of crowds – if any – were lining up to buy the new T-Mobile G1 which went on sale Wednesday. No lines out the door. No crowding at the counter. Just a couple talking to a salesman who too was figuring out how to work the new mobile phone which is powered by Google’s new Android operating system.

Netflix Realizes HD DVD Is Dead, Looks Around to See If Anyone Else Noticed

It's been four months almost to the day since iPhone 2.0 came, and we've been hitting the App Store hard every week ever since to sift through what's new in iPhone App land. This week, we've decided to hold back for a second, take a breath, and compile a different kind of list: the apps that many of us on staff actually use on a regular basis. If you have a new iPhone or iTouch just waiting to be filled up, or you feel like you may be missing some essentials in your collection, this is the list for you. More »

Gamestop Is Becoming Careless: Hands Out Left 4 Dead Early Access Demo To Anyone

GameXtract writes "Gamestop is known for always getting the goodies deal with almost every title they receive allowing those who pre-order to cash in on some extra action figures, booklets or even demos, and closed betas. Left 4 Dead is currently in a early access phase of its demo in which pre-orders get an extra five days to play the demo before its open to all. Currently only those that pre-order the game from Steam or Gamestop/Eb Games get the special promotion, but in case you haven't already noticed, Gamestop are quite the lazy bunch."
