permission
posted by tony curzon price on 05-09-2008
- iPhone needs Apple permission before you can tinker; Apple can remote modify it; it is a controlled system.

- ahah ! - sterile the iphone ?... not so... it has now many app. done free, as the next widgetbox web2 ways - and it is a very great inspiration too, an industrial asian has produced a similar product better...and of course as usual, protections attract hackers to modify or to use free: it's done...

give up that freedom.
posted by tony curzon price on 05-04-2008
- The dark side of openness - viruses, spam, crashes - makes the closed philosophy of the iPhone attractive to consumers.
  posted by tony curzon price on 04-27-2008
- generative creativity = dangerous; closed consumption = "safe"
  posted by Yule Heibel on 04-29-2008
- This is a very important tension to consider, and one that will take time to work through.

network of control
posted by tony curzon price on 04-27-2008
- iPhone / Apple II story is representative of the Internet: it is moving form the open to the tethered, the generative to the controlled.

- Boxed appliances are fine, but they endanger the NEXT ROUND of innovation --- innovation-types they themselves were dependent on in the past.
  posted by tony curzon price on 04-28-2008
- If the generative aspect is ursurped by closed appliances, the ecosystem dies as a productive source of further innovation

- As long as a PC can run code it is given, and especially with broadband connectivity, the dangers are there, and are serious.
  posted by tony curzon price on 04-28-2008
- like a natural ecosystem, open and generative platforms can provide habitat for dangerous pathogens (viruses, invaders, etc.)

- These dangers add support for lockdown and interference by the surveiling centre --- with all the dangers this implies in authoritarian states.
  posted by tony curzon price on 04-28-2008
- lockdowns as monoculture... safe, but sterile

posted by tony curzon price on 05-09-2008
- The everlasting battle will be between open, Web 2.0 systems and services and "bottled power" as exemplified by the iPhone.
  posted by tony curzon price on 04-28-2008
- - users (vs. consumers?) stay in the generative loop via Web 2.0 applications
  posted by Yule Heibel on 04-29-2008
- free services and ...ware = battle for money may change to battle for communities influences and direct human exchanges

digital nose count.
posted by tony curzon price on 05-04-2008

and less-skilled users.
posted by tony curzon price on 05-04-2008
- Situation is worse today than in 1988 - network bigger and faster, processors more powerful and users less skilled.

threats
posted by tony curzon price on 05-04-2008
- Public reaction to worm: other Interent engineers thought it was a challenge; govt set up an enquiry and a program at Carnegie that still today is a clearing-house for info on network security, viruses, etc.

at MIT
posted by tony curzon price on 05-04-2008

Internet
posted by tony curzon price on 05-04-2008
- The Internet Engineering Task Force, the de facto UNIX gods of the Internet, published a report ("The Helminthiasis of the Internet" :) describing the technology of the worm, and recommending some ethics training for new comers on the Net. ..

retool them.
posted by tony curzon price on 05-04-2008
- Naivety of Internet's response has to be understood in relation to logic of computer architectures.
  posted by tony curzon price on 05-04-2008
Urging users to patch their systems and asking hackers to behave more maturely might, in retrospect, seem naïve.
posted by tony curzon price on 05-04-2008
operations
posted by tony curzon price on 05-06-2008
- Original ATT crack at 2600Hz : ATT, because it controlled a centralised network, could change the architecture to close-down the backdoor.

enforced
posted by tony curzon price on 05-06-2008

Internet
posted by tony curzon price on 05-06-2008

the Internet.
posted by tony curzon price on 05-07-2008
- Insecurity of Internet - allowing code to be run on end-poitns, eg, - is critical to its creative potential
  posted by tony curzon price on 05-07-2008
considered
posted by tony curzon price on 05-07-2008
- Post Morris, no one really offered to solve the problem, because there was no non-transforming solution ,,,
  posted by tony curzon price on 05-07-2008
The decentralized, nonproprietary ownership of the Internet and the computers it linked made it difficult to implement any structural revisions to the way it functioned, and, more important, it was simply not clear what curative changes could be made that did not entail drastic, wholesale, purpose-altering changes to the very fabric of the Internet.
posted by tony curzon price on 05-07-2008
Then it stalls.
posted by tony curzon price on 05-07-2008

  posted by tony curzon price on 05-07-2008
generativity
posted by tony curzon price on 05-07-2008
- generative systems require trust; trust gets abused; if it is abused enough, people choose security over generativity.

the fore
posted by tony curzon price on 05-19-2008
- Vital function of PC is to keep the appliance honest - it is general purpose, and so can be reconfigured into the appliance; but this insurance policy is not WHY the PC is bought, it is unintended social benefit.

gatekeeper
posted by tony curzon price on 05-19-2008
- PCs that are shared are getting appliantised by various restrictions.
  posted by tony curzon price on 05-19-2008
f the user is allowed to make exceptions, the user can and will make the wrong exceptions, and the security restrictions will too often serve only to limit the deployment of legitimate software that has not been approved by the right gatekeepers.
