Laura Yecies joins Dr. Dave for an extended discussion of the change from conspicuous viruses to quieter profit driven attacks, with both agreeing that software cannot replace supervision, judgment and responsible behavior online. Dr. Dave reassures listeners that difficult security problems can be managed, then turns a political discussion into a broader statement that hard work and perseverance allow people and communities to solve problems that first appear impossible. The show captures a busy week in technology history through Intel’s quad core push, Google’s experiment with automated radio advertising, Opera’s cross device browser ambitions, the failed public demonstration of Windows Vista speech recognition and AMD’s agreement to acquire ATI. A stubborn malware repair becomes the most personal consulting moment when Dr. Dave says the malicious program might outsmart him, but it would not outcommit, outwork or outpersist him.
