Sysadmin admits planting 'logic bomb' in drug firm database
A former Unix system admin at Medco Health Solutions, a big US drugs prescription management firm, has admitted to planting malicious code that would have destroyed massive amounts of critical patient information. Yung-Hsun Lin pleaded guilty in US District Court in Newark, New Jersey on Wednesday over the charge of transmitting …
The computer will be just fine the software on the other hand is fucked I don't suppose they have a backup or anything like that been a longish time since I heard the term logic bomb used wonder what that is or what they think it is. Is it me or do these sentencing guidelines seem kind of out of proportion to the real crime which by all accounts didn't actually take place prescriptions have a long paper trail no data would be lost permanently no matter what this is really a story about morons catching an idiot.
Hang on...
You do $5k of damage and risk up to 10 years plus $250k fine? Seems a tad excessive to me. Was that thought up by the FIA? Or maybe the damage figure is missing a few noughts?
And having carried out the corrective work, why is the company not sure how much it actually cost? $70k-120k is a pretty ambiguous range for something that has already happened...
"You do $5k of damage and risk up to 10 years plus $250k fine?"
No.. Read more carefully.. "in excess of $5,000" The $5,000 is a limit for one of the american computer crimes. Below $5,000, slap on the proverbials, above $5,000, it's A Crime.
And for the other comment..
Yes, the 'bomb' didn't go 'off', but the 'crime' had already been 'committed' (sorry, got 'carried' away). By your logic, you could plan the assassination of Paris Hilton, get discovered as you're setting up your sniper rifle on the balcony opposite her hotel room, but because you'd never actually fired the bullet, get off scott free..??! And sure, they likely have an excellent backup system, but how long do you think it would take from the time the code wiped 70 servers, to them realising what had happened, calling an emergency, recovering all the data, and getting back into an operable condition? We're talking thousands & thousands of pound-dollars in immediate costs, not to mention the intangible damage to their reputation.
As a sysadmin, this type of crime sets a horrendous example to the world. It's a real crime, he should get a real punishment (although, perhaps living in New Jersey is punishment enough...
Only 10 years
200 years ago this man would have been 'Hung Drawn and Quartered' for messing with data on a Windows 1806 server.
But my wife's not dead, so I can't be guilty
"the real crime which by all accounts didn't actually take place"
Incompetence in crime is generally not a good defense(USA Amglish)/defence(UK English, Canada Canuklish). That is why they have "attempted murder" and "conspiracy to commit murder" and (say goodbye if you are ever charged with it) RICO.
If you ever meet someone famous, and they ask you to go to a hotel room with them to "take" their memoriabilia back.. watch out. If they kill everyone in the room, you are going to get charged with murder too.
How much it actually cost: The company accountants can probably show an even higher cost. They can factor in the cost of the security analysists, the hourly cost of every person who had to look at the report, the cost of the person who typed the report, the cost of the paper it was printed on, the cost of the electricity to run the computer used to write the report, the cost of the electricity to light the lightbulb that was used while writing the report, and even a fraction of the cost of the lightbulb. If the defendant wants to get smart with them, they could probably double it.
Probably an accurate estimate.
It probably took less than an hour to remove than "logic bomb" once he admitted everything, and then thousands of hours to verify that he hadn't done anything else to their computers.
Since this was probably done by company employee's probably during normal working hours then it would be hard to estimate the exact cost.
What annoys me is this isn't a big enough story for there to be a follow up when he is sentenced. Sometime a year from now the thought "I wonder what sentence the logic bomb idiot got", and I will have no way to find out.
Ethics - he'd heard of them
To follow on from Gareth's comments. The other really difficult issue is recovering the current system from the planted bomb. It is no different to finding your PC is infected with a bad virus. The effort needed to convince yourself you have a clean PC is significant, so much so that wiping the disk and a clean install is often the preferred option. But this was a deliberate infection in the client code. There is no tenable equivalent to reinstallation. Not after the programmer had been there for a number of years, with full admin access to the systems. Backups going back years are just as likely to be contaminated, and since he would have had responsibility for many local customisations to the systems, you would not be safe reinstalling these - which would probably leave the system in-operational anyway. After all - one of a sys-admin's core responsibilities is to manage the system, its security and backups, to allow recovery from just such a scenario. When the guy trusted with managing the recovery mechanisms is the guy that does the damage you have a big problem.
So there is then only a very time consuming audit of pretty much the entire system, and eventually settling on an acceptable probability you have eliminated the errant code. All you know is that you had a rogue sys-admin - not that he only planted only one bomb. Secondly, you don't know how competent the bomb code is - like many viruses, errors in the code can be more damaging than the intended actions. Any test versions lying about still? Any hidden code somewhere else that reinserts the bomb?
Sys-admins have an understated but vital duty of care and trust, and a required level of ethical behaviour that goes well beyond many other parts of an IT operation. I find it interesting how the vast majority of admins understand this and how it underpins part of the the ethos of the job. Most admins reading about this guy will feel a very uncomfortable sense of violation of their professional ethics. Hanging is too good.
An Oath for the sysads?
just like the Hypocrite..oops Hippocrates' oath for the meds.....
Funny posts
"200 years ago this man would have been 'Hung Drawn and Quartered' for messing with data on a Windows 1806 server."
Too bad we can't give points for posts, like on Slashdot. This one's good.
Worst. BOFH. Evah
So his code failed, it got found, AND he left enough forensic traces to point back to him? And he achieved all this while having root access?
The guy's gotta go - he's an absolutely lousy sysadmin!
He should have just put Vista on the machine. One giant logic bomb waiting to go off!
70-120 grand to fix?
These guys are on some fantastic overtime rates if it is costing that much to clean some code out of some servers. Is this the same school of damage math than thinks that Gary McKinnon did $700,000 worth of damage to the few computers he accidentally installed some VNC clone onto?
The only damage that was done was to the reputation of the firm who treated an employee so shoddily that he felt his best course of action was to do this stuff.
Im a little irritated, that most of the comments here disscuss the total cost in time and money?
I think the most importent question is, did he with his actions at any point raise any real Danger to patients by any chance? (personaly i think he could propably not be shure he didnt)
I think in general thiefs are punished harder (in relation) than violent people, while it should be the other way round.
Fight Club
We fetch your mail, we route your packets, we guard you while you surf. DON'T FUCK WITH US!
REALLY missing the point...
Go back and re-read the article. This guy's deliberate, maliciously afore-thought sabotage threatened Patient. Safety. Data.
Drug interactions can, and do, KILL. And this zit on society's buttocks planned to deliberately destroy data that is one of the primary defenses against adverse drug interactions. That's every bit as serious as planning to, say, take down the traffic control grid at rush hour in a busy city. Had he managed to cary this off, there was a solid, plausible, realistic threat of innocents dying.
Considering the threat, I'd say the possible penalties are proprtionate, maybe even a touch on the light side.
good story
damn good story - yes he should "be fired because he's an incompetent administrator" so the idea that he could have harmed or killed anyone is pretty dumb.
Unless he was doing things like introducing randomish corruptions to backup tape data and placing heavily hidden copies of his virus code in there too, set to execute within x days after restore (and to continue to corrupt backup data in the meantime).
Add some encryption for future blackmail potential and you have a man set out to do real harm to health and wealth. This guy, he was just disgruntled. 10 years is therefore way too much, I hope they don't throw the book at him.. just, like, 1/3rd of the book.
Oh, and 70-120 k to clean up is a) cheap and b) a reasonable estimate unless there was a project mgr on top of the entire thing, which in emergencies there usually isn't.
Was his bomb programmed to also erase all the backup tapes in offsite storage? O the humanity!
I have no sympathy
Not long ago, we discovered a rogue table in one of our larger databases (a database containing several million records and all their attendant data).
The table contained only one value - the name of a DBA who was fired a year before.
It cost us a lot of time and money to scan every piece of logic to make sure that there was no malicious (or otherwise) code reliant on this table existing. We couldn't afford to take the chance.
Like I said, I have no sympathy.
laird cummings...
is quite right. Irrespective of whether it worked or not, his INTENT was to sabotage the patient records of a drug company.
As safety with drug dosages relies on accurate data on allergies, doses etc, he was deliberately risking the lives of a large number of people on that database with his stupid plan.
If he'd run about firing a pistol at random in a shopping centre he would be just as likely to kill or seriously fuck up a random stranger as he was by putting a virus in the system as deaths and severe reactions are likely to have occurred in the time between the virus "going off" and the data being properly restored.
Screw the money, he was dicing with people's lives and deserves to be punished accordingly.
No one died? See Simpson's point: bungling an attempted crime does not alter the fact that you attempted the crime - in this case, indiscriminate murder.
If I ruled the World, there would be a global crime called "Undirected Murder" - deliberate murder of some random person rather than the slaying of a specific target (or targets).
Terrorist bombers, drunk drivers and dicks like that sysadmin would be facing charges of that crime (or attempting that crime).
as a general rule
As a general rule, white collar non-violent crime gets punished far less than violent crime (here in the USA). Especially when the defendants have lighter-colored skin. Obviously, its doubtful the judge will apply the maximum sentence of 10 years.
I feel white-collar crime is not punished often and consistently enough in the US when you consider the amount of damage to society and poverty it causes. Poverty being a definite correlate to VIOLENT crimes. In theory, this real money damage caused by this guy (as explained by earlier comments) could have been used for any number of things, such as researching new drugs or lowering the cost of drugs.
I think the term logic bomb is inaccurate in this instance. The actual term should be 'Time Bomb'. A logic bomb is set to 'go off' when certain conditions are met, a time bomb is set to 'go off' on a particular date/ time.
Real costs when things go horribly wrong ...
While any "what if" costs can be healthily debated, having been involved in a number of investigations I can easily believe that the costs stated are the real cleanup costs.
When someone goes rogue or commits fraud, one of the first steps after backing up everything is to "size the hole". You can't rely on the suspects admissions, or that you have found all the damage, all the fraudulent transactions, etc. That means you've got to look through everything.
IT wrongdoing often doesn't have a hard dollar hit, yet the investigations do. Even in financial frauds, the investigation and remediation can be more costly than the actual fraud.
Consider, how much code could a rogue sysadmin with access to over 70 servers taint? How good are the logs? Can you rely on them? How long will it take to go through it all? How deep could it be planted? How would you make sure your systems were safe? Are you going to rely on the seemingly obvious fact that you have an incompetent bad guy?
If you're going to charge the person, you almost certainly have law enforcement or forensic help to preserve the chain of evidence.
The bills add up very quickly even if you don't hire consultants.
ballooned recovery costs
They always floor me when I read them. Someone I know was charged under the same law for unauthorized access to a Cisco router. He used the default password to log in *and* enable on the system. He changed the password to something a bit more secure and put a login banner describing what happened and who to contact for the password. He was getting hammered by Cisco ICMP floods that null routed his IP addresses from his provider and decided to go vigilante and secure some routers on his own.
Anyway, the one single event in question blew my mind. The defendant stated it took 29 hours (at some insane rate/hr) to repair the damages (remove the banner, change the password). In total it was estimated at over $11,000.
While I do have some choice words to describe my friend's actions, two words come to mind to describe the defendant: incompetent, negligent.
I guess it pays to be stupid.
Re: Terminology
I'm seeing several posts arguing about the use of "logic bomb". The one I find particularly funny is: "I think the term logic bomb is inaccurate in this instance. The actual term should be 'Time Bomb'. A logic bomb is set to 'go off' when certain conditions are met, a time bomb is set to 'go off' on a particular date/ time."
So... the arrival at a certain date and time isn't classified as "certain conditions are met"? I guess you're just a curious bystander then, and evidently have nothing actually to do with the IT industry. A time bomb 'explodes' (or in this case, activates) when "certain conditions are met", those being when $DATE=today and $TIME=now. Learn something before tapping randomly on your keyboard.
Back on topic: as for the guy, I think he should be punished as badly as he can be. Patient safety, research data - quite apart from the money, as has been noted already, it's also the human hours spent on this which then backs up all the other tasks needing done, creating a huge amount of work for already under-appreciated admins. Slap this guy's face. With a server.
Treated shoddily?
@Simon it's not clear that the guy was treated shoddily. It says he was concerned for his job after a his company was spun off.
I've seen several cases of disgruntled employees where they were not treated shoddily. In a couple of cases the employee badly abused the trust of an employer who was trying to be flexible and accomodating.
In this case, I suspect the costs are a reasonable. Possibly a bargin.
But you and others are correct, sometimes the damages in these sorts of situations are unreasonable. But who's actually gouging whom?
I can't speak to all of these, but I've seen a number of cases where the company was naive and hires a contracter that takes them to the cleaners. Why? Cluelessness and greed.
I've seen cases of multiple abuses. Often the first guy that gets caught finds they're at the bottom of a dog pile. Much easier and far less embarrassing to unload the whole wad at once on one person.
Ha Ha (in the style of Nelson Muntz)
Soooo... if I get fired, all I need to do is say 'logic bomb'?
and my ex-employer automatically looses 70-120k
Well that settles it, no need to actually get in trouble, it'll be more fun knowing they spent so much looking!
(hmm on correct post this time..)
Re: Terminology
Jason Togneri: If you want to get snotty about it, a time bomb is a subset of logic bombs. In this PARTICULAR case, it was SPECIFICALLY a time bomb. A logic bomb would trigger on specific events, which do not need to be date/ time related. As you said, "A time bomb 'explodes' (or in this case, activates) when "certain conditions are met", those being when $DATE=today and $TIME=now" You used the term 'Time bomb' reinforcing what I said, so why the dispute?

i'm neither right now, but if they can upgrade at RT and have a decent draft, i'll be optimistic.
Generally Optimistic.
We were 8-5 and in good position for a third straight playoff appearance when we tanked due to locker room BS, not lack of talent. And that was with major o-line problems and a sub-par year from Sanchez.
i'm neither right now, but if they can upgrade at RT and have a decent draft, i'll be optimistic.
Very optimistic!! looking forward to seeing what Sparano can do with our offense and there still are changes to come before the season starts, hopefully Tanny doesn't **** that up--- losing more good players and replacing them with worse ones
[QUOTE=crossfire;4390001]Nothing big... followed by poll coming... probably not the first time you've said this? :D[/QUOTE]
bastid. :D
[QUOTE=Winstonbiggs;4390020]I have no faith in the front office or the coaching staff. I generally see a team in decline from it's peak in 08 at 8 and 3. Sanchez looks to be toast. [B]The lack of team speed is alarming[/B]. Other than that I'm generally optimistic.[/QUOTE]
biggest problem...
Its kind of early for this but I say now pessimistic, but a lot can happen between now and the season. The cap situation is going to keep us from being major factor in free agency but Mr. T generally has a plan to bring in new talent.
A lot of knee-jerks in this thread. Plenty of reasons for sunshine optimism. Glass more than half full.
If you are not optimistic, why bother to watch.....
Happy with the coach and gm
Not happy with our qb, Ive given up hope on him being anything but disappointing
[QUOTE=Icer;4390523]Happy with the coach and gm
Not happy with our qb, Ive given up hope on him being anything but disappointing[/QUOTE]
Not Yet. When he has time to throw he is good. ANY QB with the Jets line last year would have problems. If the Jets fix the O-line and Sanchez plays the same as 2011,then its time to look elsewhere.
Pessimistic ...
Coach needs to mature
QB needs to mature
QB needs to take then miracle accuracy pill
We are still slow at linebacker and safety
Our RT just signed an ill advised extension
Our running backs are average
We have no number 1 receiver
We have new OC ... Some need to break in a new offense
Aside from these few things ... I feel great ... Super bowl for sure.

Field of Study: Medical Assisting
Medical assisting programs prepare people to work in medical offices and clinics under the supervision of nurses or doctors.
Medical assisting programs include topics such as:
- Interviewing patients
- Medical terminology
- Recordkeeping
- Anatomy and physiology
- Laboratory testing
- Medical insurance
Medical assistants also have the opportunity to specialize. For example, a medical assistant might be interested in eye medicine. By taking additional courses, students can prepare to work as an ophthalmic medical assistant.
Many career and technical schools offer certificate programs in medical assisting. Many community colleges offer certificate and associate degree programs in medical assisting. A certificate program usually takes a year of full-time study. An associate degree program usually takes two years of full-time study.
A few colleges and universities offer bachelor's degrees in medical assisting. A bachelor's degree usually takes about four years of full-time study.

Whoever bought a Powerball ticket in Kearney last month that's worth $1 million has decided to remain anonymous.
The winner has worked with an attorney to create a legal entity called Carpe Diem LLC. Nebraska Lottery spokesman Neil Watson says an electronic transfer for $700,000 will be sent in about two weeks. The remaining $300,000 is being withheld for state and federal taxes.
The ticket purchased December 21st matched five of the six numbers drawn that night. They were 25, 36, 40, 45, 51 and Powerball 8.

text: Box Office: 'Sin City 2' Bombs, 'If I Stay' Collapses Print article Send a Tip by John Nolte 23 Aug 2014 post a comment Though the overall box office has been way down, Summer 2014 could at least brag about the fact that there had been no pricey box office bombs. Then August came along, the box office picked up, but now we have two pricey bombs: "Expendables 3" and "Sin City 2." With a $125 million budget, per the accepted formula, "Expendables 3" will have to gross at least twice that just to break even. In just two weeks, the Sylvester Stallone actioner is dead -- murdered by a brutal 66% second-week drop after a brutally disappointing debut. By Monday the certified flop will sit at only $27 million domestic. Overseas grosses have so far added another $22 million to the till. This is too bad. Part 3 was by far the franchise best. Although it was a hit, the stinkaroo that was two left no one wanting more. Deadline pins the "Sin City 2" budget at $60 top $70 million. The sequel, which I also found superior to its predecessor, is a four-alarm box office disaster. Low-end predictions suggested a $15 million opening, or thereabouts; the reality is a total thud at $6 to $7 million. A mere 36 hours ago, anyone who would have predicted such a thing would have been called insane. Waiting 9 years to produce a sequel is never a good idea. Still, the original has a devoted following. People remember and like the film. I'm at a loss to explain this kind of rejection. I can tell you that it was just me and one other guy at my Thursday night screening -- and no, we weren't together. I did sit right next to him, though, because I feed on awkward. Also under-performing is the dreadful "If I Stay," which was aimed directly at the girly crowd that opened "The Fault In Our Stars" to $48 million in June and an eventual gross north of $124 million. Lightning has not struck twice. "Stay" disappointed in a big way with meager $16 million, third place debut. Reclaiming the top spot from the "Turtles" is "Guardians of the Galaxy" which is showing some serious staying power. In week 4, another $17 million will bring the total to $252 million. The magic $300 million isn't going to happen but of every film so far released this year, a movie starring a wise-cracking raccoon will come the closest. Also showing surprising strength are the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." This weekend's haul of $16 million will mean a total of $145 million after just three weeks. Tying at 4th and striving for $10 million are "Let's Be Cops" in its 2nd week and "When the Game Stands Tall" in its debut. Follow John Nolte on Twitter @NolteNC

Holy cow! What an insane evening! For me, this night involved laughter, sobbing, shock, and sadness.
The party started off so well! A Winter Wonderland Win! It didn't take long for the drama to approach. Heather and Gretchen's conversation was weird to me. I can agree with points on both of their sides, however the hug didn't seem genuine. It was like they were at an awkward standstill, so they hugged because they didn't know what else to do.
The same goes for Tamra and Gretchen's talk. Perhaps Vicki's party was the wrong place to try for a serious conversation because time is limited which creates pressure. I have a feeling that neither conversation is completely over yet.
Vicki giving Tamra a bigger, blingier friendship bracelet was hysterical! I have gotten pretty close to Vicki over the past two years, and I knew she was missing Tamra. Vicki would say little comments, or say things in passing that let me know she missed Tamra. Then when I saw them reconnect in Whistler, I was happy for them. I wanted Tamra to know that Vicki had missed her.

The $35 android tablet, a snip at $50
The Indian government has unveiled its $35 android tablet, and admitted that with shipping, boxes and manuals it will ultimately cost $50, but government subsidies will make up the difference. The Aakash is designed and built by UK firm Datawind, known for their cheapo web-browsing kit. It features a resistive screen, a 366MHz …
Problem is..
The ipad cretins think this is what all Android tablets are like, they are blind to the fact there are REAL competitors like the Asus Transformer...
Android has insane scalability from the cheapest and most cheerful to the luxury devices, something they can't (or won't) get their head around.
Yes, it has 'insane' scalability. That's one of its problems from a developer's point of view. I'm saying this as someone who tried to port an app to Android, to the sheer diversity of form factors, screen sizes and variations in function.
I accept that limitation, though, because I have the same limitation writing for the web, across multiple browsers, screen sizes and so on. It's really not *that* far different, when you step back and see the bigger picture.
The one issue I have with Android, though, is the way it's hard to upgrade. Too many devices are being packaged with older versions of Android - this one has 2.2 on it, when there's been multiple releases since (both minor up to 2.3, and patches even to that), and it's going to be tricky for a typical user to upgrade to a current release without having to get software to upgrade it.
While 2.2 may be 'acceptable', has it been patched to withstand the vulnerabilities found after its release? How easy is it for users to do that themselves? (I don't mean technical users who know about rooting, I'm talking about the sorts of users who will actually *use* this device.)
That's still part of the gamut of manufacturers
Considering that updating is the job of a device maker, the variation in behaviour is akeen to the OP's point about working on all levels from cheap and cheerful (aka fire-and-forget manufacturers that never bother to update anything) to the extremely sleek and powerful.
For the record, my ASUS Transformer has had 4 OTA updates in the last 4 months or so. And in each case it was:
1) Reminder that there is an update available
2) Prompt about going ahead with the update (if you want to be pedantic, it also checks that battery levels are 50%+)
3) Pressing OK
How hard is that?
High End Android Still Disapointing
"The ipad cretins think this is what all Android tablets are like, they are blind to the fact there are REAL competitors like the Asus Transformer..."
I have a Nexus One and a Touchpad, so I'm no iFan, but after years of development, even Honeycomb doesn't animate scrolls without nasty juddering. Having played with iPads and iPhone's they're as smooth as a new silk tie draped over a baby's bottom at a Jazz festival.
Android is the user interface runt of the smartphone OS litter, but let's hope Google correct that in Ice Cream Sandwhich. I'm looking forward to it.
Scalability? I think you're referring to the scalability of quality here. Have you not noticed iOS runs on quite a variety of Apple kit too?
It's not impossible to run Linux on late 1980s hardware, but would you really want to?
I've recently bought a £50 tablet for use as a control panel, I expect it to be a really awful piece of junk, but with such a limited job of being an interface where I prod buttons I think it will work okay. It will be mains powered (so long as the cheap PSU doesn't melt).
A touchpad?
Not the HP touchpad surely?
While I'm not part of the Asus Transformer fan club....
Aren't Android versions tied to minimum hardware spec lists?
i.e. I thought 2.2 added the requirement for a camera as a minimum feature. If your hardware doesn't have a camera it is limited to Android version X.
I don't consider myself particularly knowledgeable on Android, so I may have misunderstood.
Watch yourself there, matey. With analogies like that you'll find yourself in trouble.
Will nobody think of the metaphorical children?
I don't think there are strict minimum requirements for Android versions, but Google does have very strict requirements to be allowed access to the Market.
Re: Problem is..
I don't understand the relevance of your post. Why should any consumer care about scalability? Are they able to upgrade the CPU and RAM in their tablet? All most consumers want is a device that works when they buy it. I'd imagine it will be of little comfort to someone who buys a tablet with a sluggish 366Mhz CPU to know that the operating system can scale to 1.4Ghz dual-core CPUs if they'd spent hundreds more on an Asus.
Or were you just looking for an excuse to say something negative about Apple regardless of whether it made any sense?
Then it's you
I'm guessing you are looking at the wrong Honeycomb tablets.
My Asus Transformer is as smooth as silk (aside from a small bit of lag after coming from instant resume) with Honeycomb 3.2.1 (the ted rogers release).
ICS 4.0 coming soon no doubt.
"Android is the user interface runt of the smartphone OS litter"
And that's why Apple copied it verbatim for Notification Centre, Folders and Voice search..
All the new iOS5 stuff is ripped from Android.....
You forgot the Microsoft Tax
I'm sure that will come in at $50/unit...
Would they dare?
Wouldn't M$ chasing Datawind in such a manner, look bad in the eyes of the India government, the market of which, M$ is also chasing? Same for any other big company with surplus lawyers.
If these are destined for children in India, the bad PR just wouldn't be worth the bother, considering they will never have a competitively priced product to replace it.
Not just Android license fees - AAC (that's expensive) and H264 just for the HD playback, although H264 may be covered in to SoC cost.
I'm also a bit dubious of the $37 manufacturing cost - going to need to sell a lot to get down to that price, but I guess they think they can.
matter for the Indian government
"... they'll probably have to start paying Oracle/Apple/Samsung et al their patent fees for Android, at which point $35 rapidly becomes unobtainable ..."
So who is forcing US style patents and fees on equipment designed in the UK and made and sold in India ? This assumption makes no sense. The Indian government alone can legislate the scope for patents effective within its own jurisdiction.
If you'd thought about your comment for just two seconds before posting you would have realised how daft it is. Have you never heard of the World Trade Organisation. Do you think India (or any country) can just make up its own trade rules and ignore patents and continue to trade internationally? I think not. How long do you think India's huge IT sector would survive if it followed your prescription?
Legally, perhaps...
but if India (or any other country) start deciding that Merkin patent and copyright laws don't apply to them, then it's not just Pakistan and Yemen that will be getting visits from heavily armed Predator drones!
Sorry, Serendipity, you obviously know nothing of India, or its history of IP protection. Patents are not international and nothing in the WTO makes them so. All you have to do (to join the WTO) is have an IP protection system such that foreign companies are treated the same as local ones (i.e, you can't selectively discriminate), but other than that, you can write your own patent laws.
India did just this with pharma-patents (making them effectively impossible to obtain while its generic industry got going) and the only reason they have changed this now is to protect the new drugs which Indian firms now invent (and wish to protect within India). There was no quibble at the WTO because non-one was treated differently - foreign companies couldn't patent and neither could Indian countries.
Furthermore, for patents to be valid, they have to be filed in a country before they are public knowledge - effectively meaning that if you haven't filed in India within a couple or three years after filing in the US (or wherever) you cannot gain patent protection retrospectively in India. Exactly what patents cover Android etc. in the rest of the world seems to be pretty ropey just now, but if they weren't filed in India, then they don't have any jurisdiction in India.
Take your $35 fondle-slab and try to sell it in the US and you may arouse Google's ire, but chances are in India, they haven't got a leg to stand on.
WTO is a long winded ass
Which rarely decides anything much, because too many countries represented on it have too much to lose. A reason for the vibrant and growing Indian IT sector is that software patents don't apply there. A trivial amount of research would have educated you on this fact:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_patent#Other_countries .
You misunderstand how the WTO has changed international IP laws, read for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRIPS
What you'll see is that the WTO has required all countries to create a patent system and enforce it, but that's not the same thing as making US patents suddenly applicable in every nation. If Apple, Oracle or Google patents a new invention - then they have 1 year to patent it in all other jurisdictions. After that year they can no longer get the patent in any other market, and they only have patent protection in the markets in which they've filed.
So if MS hasn't filed the key patents in India, then they cannot use them to sue an Indian company making products that are for the Indian market.
Of course any country can do this. The Good old US of A does it all the time. And if you don't like it they will cause your government to be overthrown and replaced with an american friendly one. Just look at Chile, Iran etc
If China is the new India who will be the new China?
So, tell me...
... is this "the iPad Killer" we've been awaiting for so very long?
Goodness Gracious Me
Put the tablet on the table with none of that crap you usually do, what do they call it...ah yes peas and carrots. but bring 8, no 16 bread rollllls

ViewQuest Slate 2
"It features a resistive screen, a 366MHz processor"
I know it's not going to be used for anything 'intensive' but WTF?
I have a cheapo 720mhz android tablet (Viewquest Slate2) - and it's completely useless.
Not just not very good, but actually completely useless. Wish I had taken it back to the shop rather than thinking I'll get around to rooting it one day.
Those poor Indian buggers - it's going to be really really slooooooooooooow.
I'm sure you can do something useful with 366 MHz
With appropriate software.
It's not that long ago that you couldn't get a processor that fast, even for a desktop machine.
I've done a bit of research for you: it was about 1995, apparently. I was using computers back then. They weren't completely useless.
Nah, it has to be more like mid 1997. My friend and I got a massively stonkin' machine to do music production on, some time in the fall of 1997; as I recall, it was a Pentium II 266, 128mb, 2x9gb 10k rpm SCSI drives, and a 21" monitor. It was, shall we say, not inexpensive. And it could do an awful lot of cool stuff, amazingly.
And it was probably 100 to 500x the practical power of the workstations car companies were using when they were in the early phases of using CAD fifteen years prior.
In 1995, I was personally rockin' an 80mhz clock-doubled Cyrix, and among my demoscener / gamer buddies it was pretty average or even a bit above.
366mhz machines aren't so long in the past. People follow every day and forget how insanely rapid the pace of development is. A few years ago I bought a kick-ass dev machine for work, with an insane 2gb of memory. Normal computers had 512mb; the big box stuff maybe 256 even. A year later the $600 shitboxes at best buy and walmart all had 3gb.
It's nuts.
Yeah, its the software not the hardware.
The increase in power has just allowed more and more sloppy programming.
In 1995 I was still getting by fine with a 33Mhz 486 with 8MB of ram.
In 1997 I had a Intel 150Mhz Pentium with 32MB of ram which surfed and played Quake just fine. Cost me £1300 and was to be the last actual PC I bought. The rest I built.
It wasnt till 1999 that I got a AMD 400Mhz K6-III and was running Quake 2 and Unreal like a champ.
So in 4 years I went from 33Mhz to 400Mhz. It all worked very well for the time.
in 1999
A project I worked on spent £4800 (!) buying a workstation with dual 550MHz pentium III with 2G ram to do some monte carlo simulations. After it was retired & replaced I got to take it home, where I stiil use it. It's fast enough to deal with std TV res video (it even can - just- encode analogue tv while playing something else back) and can cope with almost everything else I need at home .. except for displaying "modern" web pages.
Software per se cannot be patented in India.
"but by then they'll probably have to start paying Oracle/Apple/Samsung et al their patent fees for Android, at which point $35 rapidly becomes unobtainable again"
All those software patents creating havoc in the western world would be invalid in India. (In India, software per se cannot be patented). The hardware patents must be already covered by the suppliers providing the components for the "Aakash" tablet PC.
Form Factor
Careful though, the device is reasonably rectanglish and has rounded corners and a black frame surrounding the screen. Better not tip Apple off!

Sorry, I think you mean "havoc in the USA" as most of them are not valid in Europe due to the differences in what is and is not patentable. India is also quite competent to decide for itself if software can or cannot be patented, and hopefully will show greater sense than the USA in this area.
Sadly, maybe not for long before we in Europe have that time-wasting burden forced upon us.
Re "with shipping, boxes and manuals it will ultimately cost $50"
Sorry, you've lost me there. What are manuals? Something like a quick start guide?
yeah, sort of like a quick start guide, except containing all the relevant information on how to operate the device.
Yes, a one page 'getting started' in multiple languages, is quite a book.
14 in the constitution, 22 in the courts, 415 languages according to the UN: The census of 1961 recognized 1,652 languages used in India
Wrong country
DataWind isn't British, it's a Canadian company headquartered in Montreal. It's easy to understand the confusion though - because our pathetic wireless industry here in North America refuses to play ball, their main market is in the UK.
Stop the fud!
Until the details of all aspects of the patent deals are known, the liability assessment is based on a press-release.
For all we know, MS may have said, "we'll give you a cheaper license on WinMoPho if you say you've signed a patent deal." Given the HTC do produce MS phones, why would they not do that?
Load of shit.
So if you get a cheap flight from England is it cheaper to bring a bigger one back for that horrible country?
This is a UK website so why are you headlining the prices in dollars?
"The world's reserve currency." The dollar is the defacto basline; the default currency, I guess.
Now, if the Tea Partiers and the dithering brussels bureaucrats have their way, El Reg is going to be doing headlines in Yuan..

Derry Brownies ask schools to boost recycling
At a recent school board meeting, Superintendent Laura Nelson read a letter from Derry Brownie Troop 13966 offering to help with recycling efforts in the schools.
"We noticed that our custodian put all the trash in one barrel," the letter stated. "One of the custodians said the trash company puts all the trash in the same truck when they pick it up. We wonder if it is possible to keep the trash and the recyclables separate."
The members of the Brownie troop also offered to help by teaching classes in the school how to recycle.
"I want to thank the Brownie troop for their wonderful and well-written letter and their concern for our environment and what we are doing," said Nelson.
She said the school district is always looking at ways it can improve its recycling efforts and is also taking steps to reduce food waste in its cafeterias.
"There are companies that will help with food so that the poundage we take out per cafeteria can be reduced significantly," said Nelson. "We look at ways we can improve our carbon footprint and do a better job of being a good environmental steward."
School business director Jane Simard said there are recycling programs in place at all the district's schools.
"We do have separate recycling bins and separate pickups," said Simard. "We will have a conversation with our custodians. We are working really hard on recycling."
She said the district's waste collection companies do have separate pickup days for trash and recycling and that there are separate containers at the schools for different types of recyclables.
"We do have a strong effort to do recycling in the schools, but I'll look into this to see if there are issues with things not being recycled they way they should be," said Simard. "What is truly trash should be in the trash, but what is considered paper products should be recycled as paper."
Nelson said she will write back to the Brownie troop to thank them and let them know that the district is looking at ways it can do a better job recycling.

Rep. Barney Frank To Retire In 2012
"Rep. Barney Frank To Retire In 2012"
CNN has confirmed that after serving 16 terms, Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) will not seek reelection in 2012. Frank has been a leader on LGBT issues such as the Employment Non-Discrimination Act and repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. He was also the first member of Congress to ever come out as gay voluntarily and co-founded the Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus. Upon hearing the news on Twitter, Daily Caller reporter Matthew Boyle seized the opportunity to go straight after Frank's sexual orientation, claiming, "he's going to spend more time at home with his boyfriend."

If you're between the ages of 14 and 35 and are still unaware of the new Gnarls Barkley record, I'd like to welcome you back from whatever rock you've been huddled beneath. An album-length summer jam with few contemporaries, St. Elsewhere is an unstoppable Frankenstein of musical styles. Kitchen-sink DJ wunderkind Danger Mouse continues his crusade of inspired collaborations, this time joining forces with Cee-Lo Green, a formidable force in his own right, both as an establishing member of Atlanta's Goodie Mob and a Grammy-nominated solo performer. St. Elsewhere's 14 swift tracks whiz by like jabs from a prizefighter, most clocking in under the two-minute mark. "Go-Go Gadget Gospel" and "Transformer" dispense enough kinetic energy to power a space shuttle while mellower fare such as "Smiley Faces" and mega-hit "Crazy" are still filled with sufficient bounce. The key thing, though, is that Gnarls Barkley's debut defies conventional grasp without losing any of its poppiness. No sooner does the title track ease in and out, teetering on the cusp of a slow jam, than the listener is thrown for yet another loop with a cover of Violent Femmes' "Gone Daddy Gone." Seriously. Throughout, Cee-Lo's pipes are angelic, sounding like the soulful hermaphrodite spawn of Billie Holiday and Al Green. Danger Mouse never ceases to amaze, manufacturing hooks and beats that are at once cacophonous and creamy smooth. St. Elsewhere's blessed union produces an innovative new noise comparable to a church choir taking control of a galactic disco. Grab a copy and crawl back under that rock--it's all you'll need down there for a while.

For over a decade, the Albany Riverfront Jazz Festival has featured a wealth of jazz greats, critically acclaimed up-and-coming artists and local favorites at one of the area's most spectacular venues. This all-day concert features world-class music, great food & beverages and a fireworks show over the Hudson River to end the day. The Jazz Festival is an event for all ages- and admission is still free!
Admission to the Jazz Festival is FREE. For more information, call (518) 434-2032.
This event has been moved to the rain location at the Corning Preserve Boat Launch due to the threat of thunderstorms.
1:00 - 1:45 pm
Maria Zemantauski is one of the world's most heralded female flamenco-style guitarists and composers. She's brought her nylon-string guitar fusion to Spain, Italy and across the continental United States to great acclaim. Naming her the Capital Region's best acoustic guitarist, Metroland wrote, "Zemantauski has continually pushed the boundaries of the possible with her trusty 6-string, blending genres that have little or no business appearing on the same bill, much less in the same song. It's rarely less than electrifying to watch her do it." She believes that the expressive possibilities of the guitar are limitless and pursues her music with passion, confidence and grace.
2:15 - 3:15 pm
A unique project from celebrated local vibraphonist and drummer Michael Benedict, Jazz Vibes features a wealth of Capital Region talent melding Brazilian, bossa nova and straight-ahead jazz sounds. The group has released two albums, The New Beat and The Next Phase, and has quickly become one of the most popular jazz groups in the Capital District. Nationally renowned bandleader Michael Benedict has extensively toured the United States, performed in Europe and Africa, and collaborated with jazz luminaries like Gary Smulyan, Ralph Lalama, Bruce Barth and Nick Brignola.
3:45 - 4:45 pm
Led by Australian reedman Adrian Cunningham, "a young jazz artist who plays as if he has been playing for over a century" (All About Jazz), The Professor's syllabus is taken from the finest New Orleans repertoire, from Sidney Bechet to Fats Domino. Since forming in 2012, the NYC-based band has quickly become a favorite at clubs and festivals throughout the land, inspiring spontaneous Lindy Hop parties wherever they roam. "Professor" Adrian Cunningham is widely recognized as one of his home country's best jazz exports. With fluent command of the saxophones, clarinet, and flute, he is one of the finest multi-instrumentalists in contemporary jazz. As well as performing in every continent but Antarctica with his own groups, Adrian has become an in-demand freelance musician, working with everyone from Bucky Pizzarelli to the Cat Empire to Men At Work's Colin Hay.
5:15 - 6:15 pm
The Wall Street Journal calls Catherine Russell "one of the outstanding singers of our time," her voice "drenched in emotion, drama, experience and pure swing." Russell's rich career began as an in-demand background singer working with stars like Paul Simon, David Bowie, Steely Dan and Roseanne Cash. Since launching her solo career less than a decade ago with the stunning Cat, Russell has built a reputation as one of the foremost interpreters and explorers of mid-20th century American music. Her latest album, Bring It Back, follows 2012's chart-topping Strictly Romancin', and finds Russell fronting an expanded 10-piece band and covering her widest artistic ground yet - from the early days of jazz through the swing era and into the R&B explosion - but with her most personal stamps. That takes extra inspiration and depth from her mother, pioneering jazz musician Carline Ray, who passed away shortly after the album was finished, as well the very strong presence of her father, long-time Louis Armstrong bandleader and arranger Luis Russell. Most profoundly, the album features the first-ever recording of "Lucille", a song of her father's, recently discovered in the Armstrong archives. Through it all, she makes the most of what NPR calls "a voice that wails like a horn and whispers like a snake in the Garden of Eden".
JACK DEJOHNETTE TRIO, featuring Ravi Coltrane and Matt Garrison
6:45 - 8:30 pm
"Generally regarded as one of the finest living jazz drummers" (Los Angeles Times), NEA Jazz Master & Grammy winner Jack DeJohnette's career spans five decades and includes collaborations with some of the most iconic figures in modern music. DeJohnette's unparalleled drumming has fueled 50 years of innovation, and his creative associations read like encyclopedia of jazz history: he helped change the direction of jazz in Miles Davis' monumental late '60s/early '70s group (describing that period in his autobiography, Miles said, "Jack DeJohnette gave me a deep groove that I just loved to play over"), and has performed with John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Sonny Rollins, Thelonious Monk, Stan Getz, McCoy Tyner, Herbie Hancock, Keith Jarrett and Esperanza Spalding, among many others. As a bandleader, he's a tireless creative force, recording a diverse array of acclaimed albums with some of the music world's finest players. Along the way, he has developed a versatility that allows room for hard bop, world-music, R&B, avant-garde, and just about every other style to emerge in the past half-century. Twenty years ago, DeJohnette brought saxophonist Ravi Coltrane and bassist Matt Garrison together for the first time, forming a historically significant trio representing the prestigious lineage of today's great jazz families while exploring open improvisation and their own compositions.
Fireworks at 8:30 p.m! Food and beverages will be available to purchase.
PARKING: $5 parking available at Riverfront Garage, located at Broadway and Columbia Street. This garage is handicapped accessible and provides easy entry from the top floor to Jennings Landing via the Hudson River Way pedestrian bridge.
GROUND RULES: No glass containers, animals or recording of performances.

The Nebraska Supreme Court Friday upheld the first-degree murder conviction of an 27-year-old Omaha man for a 2011 shooting death.
Antwan Jones was convicted of first-degree murder and other counts and sentenced to life in prison for the September 24, 2011 shooting death of 19-year-old Dejuan Johnson on Ames Avenue.
Jones appealed, saying the trial court should not have allowed eyewitness identifications of him as the shooter into evidence during his Douglas County trial.
The state's high court rejected that argument, saying a review of the evidence showed that the identification of Jones as the shooter by two eyewitnesses was reliable.

November 27, 2014
NEENAH, Wis. (AP) -- A Winnebago County judge has dismissed a class-action lawsuit in which more than 250 Neenah teachers sought to recover more than $61 million in post-retirement benefits.
A Post-Crescent Media report (http://post.cr/17X4WtM ) says the judge ruled that a school district can't be targeted by a class-action suit.
Judge Karen L. Seifert said she would only consider claims filed by people who included itemized lists of the relief they sought.
Of the 261 people named in the suit, only two had filed the required paperwork. Seifert dismissed the other 259 claims.
The 261 teachers claimed they were promised benefits that were taken away without notice.
The Neenah district scaled back its retirement plans under Act 10, which limits most public unions' bargaining to base wage increases.

A Closer Look: Notre Dame S Harrison SmithPosted by on April 12, 2012 – 6:47 am
We are two weeks away from the start of the 2012 NFL Draft, with the 1st round scheduled to begin on the evening of Thursday, April 26. Over the past few days, though, my inbox has been filled with questions about a player who likely won't be selected until the 2nd round, which will occur on the evening of Friday, April 27.
That player is Notre Dame S Harrison Smith. Obviously the secondary is an area of need for the Vikings, so the fan base's interest in Smith is not surprising. But the buzz has been building around Smith, and from all the information I've gathered it's clear that he's a player rising up draft boards as we get closer and closer to showtime.
For those of you not familiar with Smith, he's a 6-2, 214-pound safety who also played some linebacker at Notre Dame. He was a 5th-year senior and team captain in 2011 and he's also the only player in Irish football history to register more than 200 tackles, 15.0 tackles for loss and 15 pass breakups in a career.
During this year's NFL Scouting Combine, we had Vikings preseason TV analyst and NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock on the Wobcast. Smith came up in our discussion with Mayock, and Mayock has an interesting perspective on Smith because he's been the TV analyst for Notre Dame on NBC the past two seasons. On top of that, Mayock played safety in the NFL, so you know he has a discerning eye for the position.
Here's what Mayock had to say about how Smith projects to the NFL…
"Harrison Smith from Notre Dame is a better safety than people think," Mayock said. "What Harrison Smith does, is he's a better athlete than people think, he's a 215-pound safety, he can play strong and free, he's more athletic than people give him credit for, he will line everybody up because he's one of the smarter kids out there, and he's an excellent tackler. I think he's going in the second round. So if you're talking about a second-round safety, there's a big drop off at the safety position after Harrison Smith."
It's a great evaluation of Smith, and it makes you wonder if Smith wouldn't be a great option for the Vikings in the 2nd round with the 35th overall selection. From the sounds of it, Smith would be an impact player for the Vikings immediately because he'd probably have one of the starting safety spots and I'm also told he'd be a standout player on special teams because of his instincts and outstanding tackling ability.
What do you think, fans? Would you be happy with Smith as the Vikings choice in the 2nd round to fill a team need in the secondary? Leave your thoughts in the comments section below this entry.

LA CANADA FLINTRIDGE, Calif. (AP) - NASA's Mars rover has taken another small step for robot-kind.
Engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California say the rover Curiosity flexed its robotic arm Monday for the first time since before its November launch.
They say they'll now spend weeks testing and calibrating the 7-foot-long arm and its extensive tool kit - which includes a drill, a scoop, a spectrometer and a camera, in preparation for collecting its first soil samples and attempting to learn whether the Martian environment was favorable for microbial life
On Monday engineers unfurled the arm, extended it forward using all five of its joints, then stowed it again.
The test is part of a full health checkup Curiosity has been undergoing since landing in an ancient crater on the red planet Aug. 5.

Who has measured the circumference and height of their Carboys?
Anyone have any measurements handy? thanks.
I'll measure right now...
My 5 gallon is 19.5 inches tall, and 10.75 across. Hope that helps.
You asked for circumference, my bad. If memory serves me right, it would be like 33.75 inches around... I think...
Right, i figured i could solve for the diameter... I picked up a compact fridge today and am making some other upgrades also. I have been using Ale Pails (which will fit in this fridge), but wanted to know if Carboys would fit. After i rig up a temp controller i'm going to use it for fermenting and serving. Thanks
I have a 7CF freezer I ferment in. If I use carboys I can fit one. If I use kegs (homebrew kegs) I can fit 4. Mainly because I have a big shelf on the side.
For anyone who stumbles across this in the future, I have a large dorm fridge, and it'll fit a 5 gallon BB with a blowoff tube without having to mess with the freezer section. Using a regular bubbler airlock, or a 6.5 gallon carboy will need the freezer section area to fit.

My latest jewelry obsession is DYLANLEX whom I originally came across last year on instagram – I have been an avid follower (and liker) ever since! From what originally started as a experiment by founding sister Drew Ginsberg, the art of layering jewelry has since transcended into a worldwide trend and is mastered by the sisters behind DYLANLEX. Seriously, no-one layers necklaces quite like these two do!
With the launch of their online store today, you can now get your hands on 6 amazing statement neck-pieces. According to their website, 'each DYLANLEX piece is hand crafted in New York city, using the expertise and craftsmanship of artisans gathered from across the globe, to create pieces that blend modern edge with the elegance of traditional techniques. Swarovski Crystal, antiqued metals, and internationally curated elements combine to create statement jewelry that would normally only be possible by combining several distinct pieces'.
So far there have been some mixed reviews on the price point which some instagrammers believe is too high. Considering the timelessness of each piece, the intricate detail, quality and use of semi-precious stones and mixed metals, I think the price point is somewhat generous.
While I love all six pieces from the collection, my favourite is definitely Ryker. Fingers crossed I find this baby under my christmas tree this year!
Don't forget to follow DYLANLEX on instagram for inspiration on how to layer jewelry the DYLANLEX way!
Stripes are probably my favourite print, mainly because they are versatile and can be worn in so many ways. They can be worn with contrasting stripes, floral and abstract prints and of course plain colours. Stripes also have the ability to accentuate your best features; vertical stripes can make your features look longer and slimmer, horizontal stripes can create the illusion of fullness (think bust or derriere).
Each season I like to add a few new striped basics to my wardrobe that can easily update my look and this season I am obsessed with Jonathan Saunders' take on the simple stripe using a holographic print.

I am a fiend for fashion. Always have and always will be.
Growing up, I would save my pocket money and after school head to the local newsagency where I would flick through the latest issue of Vogue, Cosmo and CLEO, even though at the time I couldn't afford a single item advertised in any of them. As I turned the pages I would "oooh" and "ahhh" in admiration at the glamorous designer clothing, stiletto heels and shiny accessories, not to mention devour the scent of the complimentary perfume samples for days and weeks to follow. Afternoons at the newsagency are now replaced with countless hours surfing the internet, monthly subscriptions to Vogue, STYD and Jelly Magazine, and streaming the latest fashion shows taking place on the other side of the world.

The push to single-payer goes on. All this was predicted. Now, it´s happening. The Affordable [sic] Care Act needs to be repealed immediately and replaced with absolutely nothing.

Premiums will go up hundreds of percent. That´s because everybody now supposedly has insurance, but somebody is not paying for it.
