An anonymous reader writes “Wired is reporting that the FBI sought approval to use its custom spyware program, CIPAV, from the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court in terrorism or spying investigations. Affidavits prepared for the court are among 3,000 pages of documents gathered, but not yet released, in response to a Freedom of Information Act request from Wired.

cremou brings us word that Comcast has changed its Terms of Service to include policies on traffic management. This comes after the FCC’s current decision to investigate Comcast’s P2P throttling. The language in the updated Terms of Service, according to Ars Technica, mirrors the FCC’s 2005 Internet Policy Statement[PDF]. “According to Section III of the revised ToS, Comcast ‘uses reasonable network management practices that are consistent with industry standards.’ The company points out that it isn’t alone in the practice, saying that ‘all major’ ISPs engage in some form of traffic shaping. Comcast does it to keep its subscribers from suffering the heartaches of ’spam, viruses, security attacks, network congestion, and other risks and degradations of service’ and to ‘deliver the ideal possible Internet experience to all of its customers.’”

dhavleak writes “Wired has an article from Bruce Schneier on the intersection of security technologies and vendor lock-ins in IT. ‘With enough lock-in, a company can protect its market share even as it reduces customer service, raises prices, refuses to innovate and otherwise abuses its customer base. It should be no surprise that this sounds like pretty much each experience you’ve had with IT companies: Once the industry discovered lock-in, everyone started figuring out how to get as much of it as they have the ability to.’”

Mac writes “PC World ran the final version of Windows Vista SP1 through a first set of tests last night. Here’s the bottom line: ‘File duplicating, one of the main performance-related complaints from Vista users, was significantly faster. But other tests showed little improvement and, in two tests, our experience was actually a tiny superior without the service pack installed than with it.’”
