Tech commission suggests new cybersecurity post [CNET News]
The Commission on Cyber Security for the 44th Presidency is recommending that President-elect Obama establish a permanent office within the White House to address Internet security issues. The commission and its recommendation is part of the Center for Strategic and International Studies. The recommendation involves consolidating cyber security personnel at the Department of Homeland Security with the new White House office to combat the growing threat of cyber criminals and foreign powers attacking U.S. interests on the Internet. The commission's report also recommends that the U.S. develop active partnerships with other nations to combat cyber threats.
An article in last week's New York Times suggests that cyber criminals are winning in a war that pits them against users and security experts, as the amout and sophistication of malware programs grow at an exponential pace. As the Internet has become integral to this nation's economic fabric, it is absolutely critical that recommendations that are focused on improving cyber security are taken seriously by our nation's political leaders and regulators.

Cable's New VOD Politics Channel [Broadcasting and Cable]
Did you watch any programming from the Elections '08 video on-demand channel? If you're a political junkie, then you'll be excited to hear that politics is coming back to video on-demand on January 20th. A number of major cable operators, including Insight, are launching a new on-demand politics channel, planned to go live on January 20th - the date of President-elect Obama's inauguration. The content and name of the channel is still yet to be announced, but with the interest that Obama's campaign garnered, I expect that many of you will be interested to follow the first days of his presidency with the video content provided by this new channel.
