MIT Media Lab Goes Open Source, And Doesn’t Forget To FLOSS
The MIT Media Lab, a tech innovation center that has has a hand in numerous tech related products over the years, including Guitar Hero has revealed that going forward, the way it deals with its approach to software releases is to fundamentally change.
From now on, the MIT Media Lab will release its software via FLOSS: (Free Libre Open-Source Software)
The move was announced by Media Lab director, Joi Ho, in a blog post last weekend:
“I’m proud to announce that we are changing our internal procedures to encourage more free and open-source software.”
Ho hopes that by changing the way they they approach software, it will allow students to free up the code they write so there will be no need for approval from either internal or external administrative hurdles.
In doing so, Ho argues that this will align MIT more closely with its core altruistic academic values, that in essence asserts that knowledge should be shared, tested, and externally validated by its peers.
“Previously, software releases using free and open source licenses were approved by an internal committee. But since we’ve always allowed our developers to open-source their work, we’re eliminating the unnecessary hurdle: from now on any open source request will be viewed as the default and automatically approved….“We respect the autonomy of our community members and will continue to let them choose whether to release their software as proprietary or open. But removing the open source approval step will level the playing field.”
MIT Media Lab’s announcement was met with a positive response from the online community, especially from supporters and advocates of free and open-source software in general, such as the free OS, Linux, and its variants.

Credit Card Breaches Linked To Security Cameras
One of the first major breaches to affect tens of millions of consumers and grab headlines around the world was the 2013 Black Friday breach of Target. The retailer’s point-of-sale credit card machines had been infected with software that gave hackers the credit card data of everyone who “swiped” at the register. The malicious software was later found to have been sent to one of Target’s third-party vendors in a phishing email.
That kind of mechanism for getting the software to its intended location has become a major focus for IT security experts. There’s a lot of work involved in pinpointing the path of destruction, but new evidence has come out that might shed a light on why data breaches are happening in record numbers.
RSA Research Group published its findings in 2014 that indicated some of the technological statuses of companies who’d suffered breaches. Using that research, Rotem Kerner has now been able to point the finger at more than seventy different surveillance camera companies who have vulnerabilities–especially to the famous Backoff malware–in its software.
“The software, named ‘Cross Web Server,’ proved to be for CCTV DVR (digital video recorder) equipment, which is widely used by retailers for physical monitoring,” explained Jeremy Kirk of IDG News Service. “But the server software was left running and open to the Internet, which is a potential security risk.
Kerner’s research led him to the Shodan search engine, which is well-known for exposing IoT devices and wifi networks that are unsecured. He found more than 30,000 systems running an open and vulnerable security camera. Sadly, with the limited budgets allotted to corporate security, a number of companies are lucky to even have surveillance cameras, let alone the sophisticated team to oversee their security and implement patches as the need arises.
Apple Storing iCloud Data On Google Servers
News has emerged from several different sources that Apple has struck a deal with what some might see as its arch rival, Google, to store some users iCloud data on Google’s own cloud storage servers.
The deal is being reported as a real coup for Google, which is seen to significantly lag behind both Amazon and Microsoft for providing 3rd party cloud storage to others.
According to the BBC, Apple sealed the new deal with Google’s Cloud Platform division in the final quarter last year. The BBC has also stated that it has been able to “independently confirm the arrangement.”
The arrangement might come as a surprise to those who think of Apple and Google as rivals. It is not the first time however that these 2 titans of the technological world have worked together.
Court transcripts leaked to the web at the beginning of 2016 have revealed that Google allegedly paid Apple $1 billion to become the default search engine of choice for the mobile version of Apple’s Safari browser, back in 2014
But if a week is a long time in politics, then 2 years is almost geological when it comes to technology. Since then, Apple has markedly been reducing its dependence upon Google for search queries in recent times. Microsoft’s Bing is now the default search engine for Siri alongside Spotlight search. With the last iOS.9 software updates, Safari has also started accumulating search results from Spotlight as well
The new deal between Google and Amazon is thought to be worth between $400-$600 million. Previously, Apple had used Amazon’s cloud storage solution as its preferred online platform.
The news has apparently caused some concern for Amazon investors, since the new deal also follows recent announcements that Spotify and Dropbox had also moved to different platforms.
The latest move by Apple may itself be only temporary. Apple has been investing heavily in its own data centers, and may soon move its “i” data there in an effort to reduce costs.
