Hubris
Internet Explorer 7 Hits The Mean Streets
It didn't take long after Microsoft released Internet Explorer 7 for download for the exploits
and vulnerabilities to appear, with many reporters and security companies scrambling over
each other in order to publish about the new Internet Explorer flaw.
Only, it wasn't.
Argument and counter-argument ensued, with Microsoft quickly defending the issue as
being an Outlook Express issue and not an Internet Explorer flaw. That sleight of hand didn't
satisfy many, who pointed out that the same flaw had been identified back in April, when it
was attributed to Internet Explorer 6. At the end of the day, Internet Explorer 7 is a possible
vector to exploit an error in the handling of 'mhtml:' addresses - which can result in the
disclosure of sensitive information.
Unfortunately, this isn't the only issue to have affected Internet Explorer 7, with earlier beta
versions susceptible to the WMF vulnerabilities that were identified and patched over the
2005 - 2006 Christmas / New Year period. The unknown issues with Internet Explorer 7 are
going to be a greater concern over coming months, as Microsoft is expected to use
Automatic Update to provide the application to Windows XP SP2 users in November.
A positive aspect is that many computer users will get to experience the improved CSS
handling, improved security, tabbed browsing, and the other general improvements that
Internet Explorer 7 brings to the system.
Every Dog Barks At The Moon Sometimes
Over the last couple of weeks, many security 'experts' and companies (including some of
the biggest, most 'respected' names) have been busy displaying an amazing amount of
hubris and arrogance in their coverage of what would normally be regarded as minor news
items.
After Apple Computer disclosed that an unknown, but believed to be very small, number of
iPods were shipped with some Windows malware preinstalled (claims range from virus to
adware), there was an almost unanimous hammering of the company's claims. By Windows
and Microsoft supporters (such as top Information Security companies and people). Almost
all of the vitriol was focussed around the "we are upset at Windows for not being more
hardy against such viruses, and even more upset with ourselves for not catching it."
statement, which appeared on Apple's site (http://www.apple.com/support/windowsvirus/) in
relation to the issue.
Many called Apple 'arrogant', and attacked any perceived ills that they might have had with
2. the company. Unfortunately, in their rush to attack Apple, most completely bypassed (or
were unaware of) a broader incident that affected a joint promotion being run by McDonald's
and Coca-Cola in Japan, where 10,000 media players were distributed. Only, the players
were infected with password stealing malware.
Elsewhere, an unnamed expert, who crusades against hysteria and false claims in security
(and, more frequently, terrorism), fell into their own trap recently. They claimed that
firefighters who treated jelly (the gelatinous dessert) as a potential HAZMAT threat (before it
had been identified) were over-reacting to it as a terror risk. While it does sound funny that
firefighters would be running around in HAZMAT suits trying to deal with somebody's
unwanted dessert, it is a fairly standard practice when emergency services are faced with
unknown substances that have been abandoned.
Perhaps it is my background in aviation and engineering related fields, but nothing is done
without a healthy factor of safety (risk management), and the initial response was
completely appropriate. People have died because they didn't know enough about the
material that they were handling (Goi'nia, Asbestosis, Miner's Lung, and others). Sometimes
the simple answer is the correct answer, even if it might be misconstrued.

Human Brain And Memory Process
The memory process in the human brain is very complex. No computer has come close to
the capacity of the human brain as of yet. However, it is only a matter of time before
computers will have overcome the human brain's power with the fusion of nanotechnology
and biotech resources, expected within the next 20-30 years. Scientists have been
discovering and uncovering each part of the human memory system in order to help better
understand how we encode our memories, and retrieve them as well. Understanding these
memory processes can help parents to improve the prospect of a higher education for their
children early in life, and help people improve the quality of their memory and recollection
processes.
You can think of the process of storing memories in your mind to be similar to that of a
3. computer that utilizes RAM (Random Access Memory) for the temporary storage of
information before being placed in long-term storage on the hard drive. This temporary
storage, or working memory, depends on a different network of brain structures than long
term memories do. Psychologists refer to storing memories as an encoding process--a
procedure for transforming something a person sees hears, thinks, or feels into a memory.
Scientists have determined there are different methods in how we lay down our memories.
Memory functions in the brain in a very complicated fashion. To date, scientists are unable
to design computers that can compete with the human brain. But, it is promising in the next
two or three decades that scientists may be able to devise advanced computers with the
help of nanotechnology, cybernetics and biotech resources. Scientists and researchers
have put their wise efforts to discover and uncover all the elements of the human memory
system in order to get a better understanding of its encoding and retrieving processes.
These understandings are crucially important for improving the quality of an individual's
memory and recollection process.
Our thought, senses, memory and actions all influence distinct sets of nerve cells and
chemicals within our brain. The hippocampus, the amygdale and close areas of temporal
lobe are associated to the cortex with the help of complex nerve cells. This actually forms
the fundamental structure of our memory system. When a nerve cell in the brain gets
activated, a low-charged electrical potential is sent to the axon. This helps in releasing brain
chemicals or neurotransmitters, which attain across the synaptic gaps between nerve cells
and bolt onto the corresponding receptors. The nerve cells that obtain the brain chemicals
then send the signal along to other relevant nerve cells. This happens like a relay race.
When the same signals are received repeatedly, the synaptic changes occur more efficiently
contributing to the physical changes among synaptic connections. This is how the human
brain stores memory on a long term basis. Scientists and researchers assume that the
changes in particular synaptic patterns in folds and ridges of human brain contribute to
memory encoding for lengthy time span. In fact, convoying electrochemical associations
constituted between different cells in human brain help storing memory including thoughts,
skills, knowledge and experiences.
There are debates on the distribution of memory over the human brain. While some
scientists assume that human brain constitutes memory in a particular region within the
brain structure, some others claim that human brain does not localize memory within a
particular territory, that is, memory is all over distributed through out the brain structure.
Scientists claim that the cell functions corresponding to learning and memory process are
indistinguishable at the biological level. In fact, proof has been already established in the
support of the strong correlation between learning process and memory system. It is also
assumed that to execute the learning process, the human brain employs multiple memory
systems, each of which is engaged to encode different sorts of memory functions.
