So with relatively modest and extremely well targeted investments, we have this year formed a special Internet unit and acquired properties that have instantly delivered us tens of millions of new customers, and, in the process, begun a transformation of the Company..................................................... ............... Fox Interactive Media was formed in July and has acquired several Internet assets that immediately place us in the top five of the most heavily trafficked collection of websites in the world. MySpace.com, the fastest growing website in the country, registering nearly 130,000 new users A DAY; IGN, with its array of young male oriented online games and content sites; and Scout.com, the number one independent online sports network, mesh perfectly into our existing off-line content and audiences, and all play to our strengths. Their youthful audiences are our audiences. Their interests are our interests................................................... ................ With the addition of these companies, we have now the most potent combination of relevant content and critical audience mass to forge a real and profitable presence on the Web......................................................... Our challenge in the coming months then will be to integrate these new businesses with our existing websites, and to develop a common navigation that will allow users to move back and forth between our various properties while we derive new revenues and profits from their on-line experience. Our aim is nothing less that to provide the best and stickiest Internet experience available anywhere.////////////////// //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ///////////////// http://www.newscorp.com/news/news_267.html Sounds Like ........ This includes work to prevent the acquisition and export of knowledge (or "Intangible Technology Transfer"). For example, students or academics from countries of concern coming to the UK could study a subject of direct benefit to their country's WMD programme. We are monitoring closely the increased threat from international terrorist groups and their potential to acquire WMD and use them as a terrorist weapon...................................................... ......... We visit UK companies, Business Link, chambers of commerce, professional and trade associations, universities and other academic or research establishments. We alert them to the intentions and activities of countries and individuals of proliferation concern, and offer advice about how these could affect them. We will also seek information about their dealings with such people...................................................... ..................... http://www.mi5.gov.uk/output/Page73.html.................... ............................ This is an attempt at unauthorised access, almost always with malicious or criminal intent. Sophisticated, well-concealed attacks by foreign intelligence services seeking information have been aimed at government systems but high-tech industries might also be targets............................. Take basic security precautions to prevent software or other sensitive information falling into the wrong hands. Encourage security awareness among your staff, training them not to leave sensitive material lying around and to operate a clear desk policy (i.e. desks to be cleared of all work material at the end of each working session)................................................ Contact your Counter Terrorism Security Adviser (CTSA) through your local police force at the start of the process. As well as advising you on physical security, they can direct you to professional bodies that regulate and oversee reputable suppliers. A reputable supplier can make a professional assessment of your requirements and recommend suitable products. Through the professional bodies, you can compare one provider with another. Before buying any security product, make sure you are clear about what it is designed to achieve and what guarantees and after-sales service you can expect........................................... If you are part of a multi-occupancy building, shopping centre, high street or business park, make security a joint effort. For example, common access control procedures can be agreed or CCTV cameras sited for maximum overall benefit. This can both increase effectiveness and greatly reduce costs, while ensuring that health and safety regulations, fire prevention requirements and building consents are met. Remember that costs may be reduced if changes coincide with new building or refurbishment work, but do not let this delay the introduction of necessary equipment and procedures................................................. Routine searching and patrolling of premises represents another level of screening covering both internal and external areas. Keep the patrols regular, but not too predictable............................................. 'Computer viruses could be about to take a giant leap and start spreading via smart barcodes, warn experts. Security researchers have infected a Radio Frequency ID tag with a computer virus to show how the technology is vulnerable to malicious hackers. The researchers warn that RFID tags could help mount many different types of attacks on computer systems.'............................................''''''' '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''About myspacenewscorp Culturally and aesthetically, News Corp seems like the opposite of the youth-based brand that you've created at MySpace. Did you get much fallout from your users after the acquisition?'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''' Anderson: When this was announced, people were worried. It went away pretty quickly when we didnt change. If anything now, people will see it get better. We have more money to grow, faster bandwidth and more programmers working on more features. We arent getting pressure on designing it this or that way. Its our baby on what we want the experience to be. News Corp. has been great about that. I think were going to continue to do well.''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' Do you see any other benefits about being part of a large media conglomerate, like News Corp.?'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' Anderson: I just came back from a screening at 20th Century Fox, and they were asking me what bands to put in the movie.''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' http://www.forbes.com/technology/2006/01/04/myspace-dewolfe- anderson-cx_np_0104myspace.html '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''................. .................... ............................................................ ............................................................ .... ............................................................ ............................................................
