Cnet has an article about bluesnarfing. Several cell phones, especially Nokia hand sets are susceptible to an attack via a bluetooth hole. The hole makes certain handsets open to allowing someone to get in, copy the address book and phone numbers and leave no evidence of the attack behind.

According to the article Nokia is taking a head-in-sand approach to the problem. They are not planning to release an upgrade because of the "limited" number of handsets impacted. Instead they suggest that people turn off bluetooth all together when in public places or put the phone in invisible mode (though this does not prevent bluesnarfing).

Being close to the epicenter of the CU scandal we hear a lot about it each day. The deal right now with coach Barnett is that he continues to earn about $114 an hour. There does not need to be an extensive investigation to understand he finds it appropriate to respond to a young woman's rape allegations with statements about her playing ability. Nor will it take weeks to uncover that, once caught, he gave a hollow apology that shows he doesn't understand that his original statements were inappropriate. It is time for the leadership of the University of Colorado to step up and remove Barnett. He continues to be paid as an "investigation" goes on into the program.

Jeff Beard has some comments on the ongoing debate over RSS vs. Atom as means for providing/consuming syndicated news feeds on the web. He hits the nail on the head with this comment: "Many bloggers, while ahead of the curve, are not going to understand what a namespace is. Put it in terms and context of how it will affect them where they live, and get this out into the mainstream media channels."

This is a problem not only with the RSS vs. Atom debate, but with so much of technology. Technologists LOVE to come up with solutions.
