Google's letter to the FCC on December 30 argued that the company does not receive Section 224 protections. "Section 224 confers upon cable system operators and telecommunications carriers the right of 'nondiscriminatory access to any pole, duct, conduit, or right-of-way owned or controlled' by a utility," Google wrote. "Currently, therefore, a BIAS [broadband Internet access service] provider that does not offer its broadband access service on a common-carriage basis, and does not offer other cable television or telecommunications services over its network, lacks the federal protection Section 224 affords to traditional cable systems and telecommunications carriers." … [Read more...] about Cable lobby says Google Fiber doesn’t need Title II to get pole access

Google bombs get dismantled
The reason? Some people misinterpret Google bombs as the work of pranksters at the search company itself rather than unaffiliated Web users. That isn't too good for publicity purposes; after all, some Google bombs were more malicious than your average political jab, like the anti-Semitic one that surfaced in 2004. So, while Google has said that it will not hand-remove Google bombs, that the newly-coded algorithm should take care of most of them. … [Read more...] about Google bombs get dismantled
Dear Asus router user: You’ve been pwned, thanks to easily exploited flaw
The exploits against the Asus router coincide with the discovery of a round of attacks that infect Linksys routers with self-replicating malware. The Linksys exploits don't expose any user data, and infected machines can be restored to their normal state by being rebooted. The in-the-wild exploits against both Asus and Linksys devices come two weeks after researchers in Poland reported an ongoing attack that stole online banking credentials in part by modifying home routers' DNS settings. Taken together, the attacks are a sign that routers and other Internet-connected devices are being subject to the same in-the-wild attacks that have plagued PCs—and in some cases Macs—for years. Readers are advised to lock down their routers by installing any available firmware updates, changing any default passwords, and ensuring that remote administration, Cloud, and FTP options are set to off if they're not needed. … [Read more...] about Dear Asus router user: You’ve been pwned, thanks to easily exploited flaw
