Abstract:
Email existed before the Internet was invented, and grew with the Internet over six orders of magnitude. Email has gone from serving a small community of highly technical colleagues to being ubiquitous, even for people who are not technically adept. It has changed from a tiny, no-profit service to a billion dollar business.
But email has not gone without growing pains. Spam, viruses, and phishing are just two examples of malware that didn’t even exist when email was born. Email has changed both business and social lives in ways both good and bad. Some of those pressures have pushed users from email to Instant Messaging and Social Networking. Today the research and development of email has focused on control, either “on the wire” (anti-spam, data loss prevention, etc.) or directly for the user (such as mobile access or managing information overload).
This talk covers the history of email and reviews where we are today, including current technologies such as email authentication (DKIM and SenderID) and reputation. It concludes with some personal speculation about how email will continue to grow both short- and long-term.

Chinese Regime Blocks Personal Website Domain Registrations
The state-run organization that oversees Chinas Internet domain registration has recently announced some new rules—rules that many fear will further restrict online activities.
Under the regulations put in place by the China Internet Network Information Center, only those with a business license can register for a dot-CN domain—which is used to identify China-based websites. This means private citizens are effectively barred from owning a personal website domain.
Chinas Ministry of Industry and Information has also announced five measures to manage domain names. These include tightening the registration procedure for those wanting a dot-CN domain, and restricting access to foreign websites not registered with the Ministry.
According state-run media Xinhua, the measures are meant to tackle online pornography.
But a professor from the Communication University of China echoed the fears of many Chinese. He told state-run Global Times that the latest measures will increase obstacles for those who want to express themselves online, and ultimately restrict the development of the Internet.
NTDTV’s official YouTube Channel got taken down for some weird reason, so I thought it would be a good time to upload some of their noteworthy videos again and it’s also to remind you guys that you can actually still find ALL their programming on their website: http://english.ntdtv.com – So just cause Google is probably bowing to China again doesn’t mean they are gone – go visit their website, they don’t only have news on human rights in China, but have 24 hour programming with live streaming.

“Dear Fan Club Members,
It has been a while since I have written to you all. First off, Lisa and I were really touched by all the special messages and gifts you sent to us on our 25th Wedding Anniversary (and respective birthdays!). Thank you.
I want to take this opportunity to clear up any misunderstandings regarding information coming directly from us to you. The only “inside info” or “personal photos” that have been approved by us for publication are those that we send to Margaret Howden, the President of our Fan Club. It’s important to us that you have the most up-to-date information and photographs!
Whenever possible, if we are attending a special event or doing an interview, we try our very best to make sure Margaret gets it ahead of time, so she can pass it on to you. There are some occasions, however, when it is not appropriate for us to do so (eg for security reasons, etc) and we are sure you understand.
In addition, if you have any questions that you would like us to answer, we have set it up with Margaret in the “Questions & Answers” section (of the magazine). Margaret sends your questions on to us and we answer them as soon as we can. We want you to get the correct information directly from us!
Given the above, we have asked Margaret to remove links to other websites. However, don’t let this stop you from exploring, there’s some interesting stuff out there! Of course, I feel ours will be the best, the ultimate!
I hope this helps to clarify things!
Thanks to Margaret for her excellent work. And thanks to you guys, and let’s have fun!
Patrick”
