- I just saw a Mac iPod commercial on TV. That is the first Apple marketing in a long time that makes me want to buy an Apple product. Is there any wonder why Apple's selling tons of these things while they have the highest price of any MP3 player? Full disclosure: in college I was in an Apple advertisement pitching portable Macs. |

- Right now, CD-Rs cost less per GB than hard disks, but it occurs to me that this might change as soon as next year. Mike Dahlin has pricing trend data on hard disks, but I haven't seen any for CD-Rs. I guess it's mostly irrelevant since DVD-R is 3x cheaper than CD-R and 9x cheaper than hard disk. |

- Deep in the Brazilian Amazon is Manaus, and inside Manaus is the Manaus Opera House: The Amazon Theater is one of the most important monuments left by the exhilarating rubber boom period. It was preserved as a national partimony in 1965, and will celebrate its centenary in 1996, in perfect condition after a thorough renovation that left it in its original colors and details. The architecture is eclectic and neo-classic with material and artists brought in from Europe. On the outside of the building, the dome is covered with 36,000 decorated ceramic tiles painted in the colors of the national flag. |

- Notes for the October 22 Economics 210a readings: The readings open with a classic article: Solow (1985). In this article Solow lays down his version of the law about what economic history should be--and what its relationship to economics proper should be. Robert Solow's article is a plea to economic historians to teach economists that social contexts and institutional patterns matter: |

- I know Tim Geithner. I worked for two years in an office three doors down the hall from Tim Geithner. Tim Geithner is a friend of mine. Tim Geithner is no Jack Kennedy--but Jack Kennedy would have made a really lousy Federal Reserve Bank President. By contrast, Tim Geithner should do an excellent and wonderful job as President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. |

- The Washington Post's headline practices continue to bemuse Matthew Yglesias: TAPPED: October 2003 Archives: READ THE WHOLE THING.

- Something I wrote back in 1997: worth dredging up... I have been following the discussion of Karl Polanyi, and I have been worried because it seems to me that of readers are missing the point. I think that Polanyi does have an interesting argument. But it is being hidden from many because of his terminology. |

- PAPER GUIDELINES The paper required for Economics 210a is a research paper. That is, it should provide new information or evidence on a topic in economic history. It should not merely summarize an existing literature in the field. The writing and submission process requires that you meet two benchmarks: submit approximately ten pages' worth of a literature review and a statement of your hypotheses by Friday, December 12, 2003; |

- A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability results due to the way that Outlook Web Access (OWA) performs HTML encoding in the Compose New Message form. An attacker could seek to exploit this vulnerability by having a user run script on the attacker's behalf. The script would execute in the security context of the user. If the script executes in the security context of the user, the attacker's code could then execute by using the security settings of the OWA Web site (or of a Web site that is hosted on the same server as the OWA Web site) and could enable the attacker to access any data belonging to the site where the user has access. |

|
- In Exchange 2000 Server, a security vulnerability exists that could allow an unauthenticated attacker to connect to the SMTP port on an Exchange server and issue a specially-crafted extended verb request. That request could cause a denial of service that is similar to the one that could occur on Exchange 5.5. Additionally, if an attacker issues the request with carefully chosen data, the attacker could cause a buffer overrun that could allow the attacker to run malicious programs of their choice in the security context of the SMTP service. |
|
|
|
- A vulnerability exists because the ListBox control and the ComboBox control both call a function, which is located in the User32.dll file, that contains a buffer overrun. The function does not correctly validate the parameters that are sent from a specially-crafted Windows message. Windows messages provide a way for interactive processes to react to user events (for example, keystrokes or mouse movements) and to communicate with other interactive processes. A security vulnerability exists because the function that provides the list of accessibility options to the user does not correctly validate Windows messages that are sent to it. |
|
|
|
- A security vulnerability exists in the Help and Support Center function which ships with Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. The affected code is also included in all other supported Windows operating systems, although no known attack vector has been identified at this time because the HCP protocol is not supported on those platforms. The vulnerability results because a file associated with the HCP protocol contains an unchecked buffer. |
|
|
|
- A security vulnerability exists in the Messenger Service that could allow arbitrary code execution on an affected system. The vulnerability results because the Messenger Service does not properly validate the length of a message before passing it to the allocated buffer. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could be able to run code with Local System privileges on an affected system, or could cause the Messenger Service to fail. The attacker could then take any action on the system, including installing programs, viewing, changing or deleting data, or creating new accounts with full privileges. |
|
|
|
- A security vulnerability exists in the Microsoft Local Troubleshooter ActiveX control. The vulnerability exists because the ActiveX control (Tshoot.ocx) contains a buffer overflow that could allow an attacker to run code of their choice on a user’s system. Because this control is marked "safe for scripting", an attacker could exploit this vulnerability by convincing a user to view a specially crafted HTML page that references this ActiveX control. The Microsoft Local Troubleshooter ActiveX control is installed as a default part of the operating system on Windows 2000. |
