01 Pokemon Infomanager : fading or not, he's really rich!

02 ICANN : Here it comes
Now, with the elections clouding the waters, and the public's attention diverted, the new ICANN partners are going about moving the internet to India, but before the news, let me share one of our observations.
Last week we squashed 40 malware attacks that could only have been possible with ICANN's rogue registrars, and the new gTLDs. If Trump doesn't repeal Obama's loss of the internet, it's going to get worse; a lot worse.
* Attorneys general try to block transfer of authority over internet domains
* Enhanced Cooperation v2005 is Dead; Long Live Enhanced Cooperation
* gTLDs: Negative feedback For Controversial "Free Speech" TLD.
* The U.S Needs a Proactive Global Communications Policy
* Could Trump Administration Reverse ICANN Independency?
* The Internet (and ICANN) After the Trump Apocalypse
* 'Delink ICANN from US jurisdiction'

04 Color Binoculars
At the recent events both Microsoft and Apple presented how they were addressing accessibility issues. I don't believe this app was mentioned. It promises to address the issue of color blindness for the three most common types of color blindness.
The app was started at an MS Hackathon in 2015 and finished in the MS Garage program. It was released on the 11th of November. And uses the iPhone camera to adjust colors so the user can make it so the user can pick out flowers or choose matching colors.

05 Facebook buys black market passwords
Stamos came to Facebook in summer 2015 from Yahoo and now leads a team at the social network that tries to get ahead of hackers and other threats and head off trouble before it strikes. The biggest headache he deals with is caused by the humble password.
"The reuse of passwords is the No. 1 cause of harm on the internet," said the security chief.
When passwords are stolen en masse and traded on the black market, it becomes apparent just how many of them are the same -- "123456" and its consecutive numerical brethren are the main culprits. If you're using one of these passwords, that automatically makes your account more vulnerable to being compromised. This is something Facebook is keen to help you avoid.

07 Ten Years Ago today
It's intresting to look back sometimes and see what kind of progress we're making, and when I opened the November 13, 2006 InfoManager newsletter I found this really interesting comment from Lynn :
> Move over iPod...
> I often wonder on what the brains at Apple are working on.
> With the advent of the iPod video capabilities,
> I predicted the 'next' revolution from Apple would be the smart phone
> ... But, Apple isn't in the telephone business
> ... The new Motorola i880 seems to be predicting
> a different future for PCDs.
. . . unfortunately the article goes nowhere, and the Wayback Machine captured only the 'shell' but not the content. :-(
