<description><![CDATA[I worry that our whole world is being systematically systematized.The more our youngest and brightest minds offer their working souls to the Facebooks and Twitters of this firmament, the more they are asked to define every single human event and emotion by digits.And yet I still found myself sensing a momentary twitch of the single gray hair between my eyebrows when I heard that Google had been awarded a patent for its doodles.I suppose there will be some who will say: &quot;But, of course! Google's doodles are unique works of art! Van Gogh would have secured a patent if he'd actually managed to sell one of his paintings!&quot;But these people might not have read the patent. You see, this isn't a document that craves some proprietary claws over artistic genius. Instead, it claims Sergey Brin as its inventor and is titled &quot;Systems and methods for enticing users to access a Web site.&quot;Of course. Art has to have a system, doesn't it It can't be about inspiration. Can this lovely Jules Verne doodle really be the product of a system(Credit:Screenshot: Chris Matyszczyk/CNET)This is Google. Everything must be systematized. The abstract makes this entirely clear: &quot;A system provides a periodically changing story line and/or a special event company logo to entice users to access a Web page.&quot;You see, the word &quot;system&quot; is there straight away. But there's more: &quot;For the story line, the system may receive objects that tell a story according to the story line and successively provide the objects on the Web page for predetermined or random amounts of time. For the special event company logo, the system may modify a standard company logo for a special event to create a special event logo, associate one or more search terms with the special event logo, and upload the special event logo to the Web page.&quot;A first glance at all this suggests that Google's systematic originality lies in, um, drawing something, and then, well, uploading it. But there's perhaps an even more painful hidden message inside: that all those nice people who sit at their computers and try to create amusing versions of the Google logo to celebrate some meaningful day are merely the movable (and removable) parts of a system.It seems that they always have been. Indeed, Google filed this patent application almost 10 years ago. I know that there will be many wise and legal minds who will tell me that this was a necessary measure, as everything even vaguely interesting must be patented in order to protect its intellectual property.But how sad that Google didn't try to patent something like &quot;inspiration,&quot; &quot;artistry,&quot; or, you know, &quot;magic.&quot;<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Microsoft today issued three &quot;critical&quot; security bulletins as part of its monthly Patch Tuesday program. Together with nine other alerts, which the company rated as &quot;important,&quot; the bulletins address 22 vulnerabilities spanning Microsoft products from Windows and Internet Explorer to Office and Internet Information Services. On the top of the list is MS11-003, which is a cumulative update for Internet Explorer that resolves four vulnerabilities. Included is a fix for the nasty CSS bug outlined in Security Advisory 2488013, a bug that could give attackers control of people's computers. In a podcast about the patches, Jerry Bryant, the group manager of response communications for Microsoft's Trustworthy Computing Group, downplayed the scope of the CSS issue, saying that the company had seen only limited, targeted attacks focused on this vulnerability. To drive that point home, the company has released telemetry of how that vulnerability stacks up against an already-patched vulnerability in the Windows Shell, to explain why a fix was not made available outside the company's normal release cycle.&quot;While our first priority is to protect customers from issues like these, we also look to minimize disruption that issues like out-of-band releases can bring,&quot; Bryant said. The second critical item included in the list of patches is the thumbnail image attack vulnerability, which is being addressed in MS11-006. This fixes the security hole in Microsoft's Windows Graphics Rendering Engine that could let attackers gain control of users' computers by having them load a specially formatted image. The problem affects Windows XP, Server 2003, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008, but notWindows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2, the company said. &quot;We have not seen any attacks against this vulnerability, but proof of concept code is available to attackers, so we recommend customers put this at the top of their priority list,&quot; Bryant said. The third critical item that's being patched is the OpenType Compact Font exploit as part of MS11-007. That particular vulnerability requires end users to load what Microsoft classifies as a &quot;maliciously crafted&quot; font. Bryant explained that the issue had privately been disclosed to the company, and that it was rated a 2 in the Exploitability Index, since Microsoft does not believe a reliable exploit code will show up within the next 30 days. One tier Lower on the company's deployment priority index (which is how Microsoft dictates to customers the order in which to deploy patches to machines) is the fix to the zero-day vulnerability with the FTP services in IIS 7.0 and 7.5. It too has a rating of 2 in the Exploitability Index, and it makes up part of MS11-004. Along with those critical and important updates, Microsoft is changing its Autorun functionality when users plug in USB thumb drives. The company is disabling Autorun from USB thumb drives in versions of Windows that are older than Windows 7, which already has such a security feature. That's going out to users as an AutoUpdate in Windows Update. As mentioned in previous coverage about this month's batch of updates, Microsoft has not offered up more details on long-term fixes for the MHTML vulnerability that cropped up last month and affects Internet Explorer. But according to Jim Walter, the manager of McAfee Threat Intelligence Service, the MHTML problem is smaller than most.&quot;The scope and impact of the MHTML vulnerability is relatively limited compared to other recent zero-day code execution vulnerabilities,&quot; Walter said in a statement. &quot;Based on the information that is currently available, we are aware that successful exploitation could lead to the running of arbitrary scripts, as well as the disclosure of sensitive information.&quot;More details about the list of fixes, and ways to deploy them, can be found in Microsoft's Security Response Center blog.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Wea4a4ve been hearing that some of AOLa4a4s employees are unhappy with the companya4a4s growing focus on boosting traffic above all else, but until now that has been limited to anonymous complaints and vague reports of discontent. Today, however, AOL-owned Engadget lost a longtime editor, and he didna4a4t leave quietly.Paul J. Miller announced his departure from Engadget on his personal blog. Judging from his earliest post, Miller has been at Engadget since September 2005. For context, thata4a4s around the time that AOL acquired Engadgeta4a4s owner Weblogs, Inc., and ita4a4s also a year before VentureBeat was founded &amp;8212' Miller has been at the gadget news site for a while.So why leave now After the usual thank yous and reminiscences about his time at Engadget, Miller explains his discontent with his current employers:Ia4a4d love to be able to keep doing this forever, but unfortunately Engadget is owned by AOL, and AOL has proved an unwilling partner in this sitea4a4s evolution. It doesna4a4t take a veteran of the publishing world to realize that AOL has its heart in the wrong place with content. As detailed in the a4AAOL Way,a4 and borne out in personal experience, AOL sees content as a commodity it can sell ads against. That might make good business sense (though I doubt it), but it doesna4a4t promote good journalism or even good entertainment, and it doesna4a4t allow an ambitious team like the one I know and love at Engadget to thrive.Miller is referring specifically to a company document that was leaked to Business Insider back in January that outlined &amp;''The AOl Way,&amp;'' an ambitious plan to increase the companya4a4s traffic that emphasizes every blog post must be a moneymaker.As part of chief executive Tim Armstronga4a4s plans to turn the company around, AOL has also been making some high-profile acquisitions, like the popular tech news site TechCrunch and the even more popular political news site The Huffington Post. In both cases, one of the first questions that came up was how long Armstrong can keep the sitesa4a4 editors around.To be clear, I havena4a4t seen any signs that either TechCruncha4a4s Michael Arrington or The HuffPoa4a4s Arianna Huffington are about to head out the door. But it looks like Armstronga4a4s direction is making some writers mad, and he cana4a4t hold on to everyone.[image of Armstrong and Huffington via Yfrog/Arianna Huffington]Next Story: Libya shuts down Internet access as unrest intensifies Previous Story: A channel change: Will Apple start selling televisionsPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: Engadget, The AOL WayCompanies: aolPeople: Paul J.

<description><![CDATA[Video game ad network Intergi Entertainment is launching its Playwire video publishing platform today to make it easy for any web site to make money from online video advertising. The Playwire video platform makes it easy to stream online videos, share them, and then make money from video ads.Deerfield, Fla.-based Intergi finds advertisers for more than 300 game publishers that post their titles on the web. Those publishers have more than 64 million users a month. Intergi specializes in tailored and integrated ad campaigns. That means it can find lots of ads to plug into videos. With Playwire, Intergi is creating a platform that simplifies the process of making money with online video ads for the under-served &amp;''long tail&amp;'' of the market, or small-demand items that add up to a lot over time.Many people who publish video on the internet never make money from video ads. But Intergi hopes to change that. Playwire uses a free Bolt open source video player that can deliver high-definition video. Playwire supports more than 100 video formats and can stream video to mobile devices. It also has a built-in ad server. Playwire also includes everything else people need to publish videos online: encoding, hosting, content management, analytics, syndication, and monetization. Publishers pay for this infrastructure only as they make money.Jayson Dubin, chief executive of Intergi Entertainment, says that advertisers shouldn&amp;'t ignore the long tail of content publishers who can reach a lot more people now thanks to the internet. &amp;''No one has ever really tried to reach this customer base,&amp;'' Dubin said.Playwire&amp;'s launch partners include Adap.tv, Adobe, Amazon web services, AOL, BrightRoll, Google, Specific Media, Tidal TV and Tremor Media/ScanScout.Other video platforms often require video publishers to sign up for contracts, where the videos have to get minimum views to make any money. That has stopped a lot of small businesses from signing up. Playwire&amp;'s &amp;''pay as you go&amp;'' business model allows publishers to get up and running quickly without paying upfront money. Publishers only pay for the storage they use each month and the more they use, the less they pay.Rivals include Ooyala, Brightcove, YouTube, Kaltura and others. Dubin said Playwire is starting out small, with 500 beta testers now. Within a year, he will be happy if there are 5,000 to 10,000 publishers using the service. Intergi was founded in 2007 and has 20 employees. The company is self-funded.Next Story: Ask the accountant: Will my international startup owe U.S. taxes Previous Story: Monsanto invests in Sapphire for algae, crops researchPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: video adsCompanies: Intergi, PlaywirePeople: Jayson Dubin          Tags: video adsCompanies: Intergi, PlaywirePeople: Jayson DubinDean is lead writer for GamesBeat at VentureBeat.
