Yeah, that's all I've got. The only scenario protecting the unsophisticated here is that the malicious javascript (presumably) has to be delivered from some domain, and domain filtering is in full effect almost everywhere. This API means th

The words 'dumb' and 'smart' are inflammatory and useless in this context. A substantial portion of desktop Internet users will click anything that comes up in order to get to their destination. This attack triggers no 'warning' that would

Fake and malicious URLS can be filtered against and intercepted. This trick dodges those systems... but it still requires a malicious 'source' page to serve it up. Hrm. I imagine all of the payload (save for the return trip) could be put in

This is true, I saw it too. But a popup telling the user to 'Allow Fullscreen?' is semantically equivalent to "Click Yes If You Want To Log On To Your Bank" for most users. The least savvy are UI-blind, a big portion won't realize a transit

Brilliant, terrifying, wonderfully crafted and well-communicated work. Where do we go from here?

Someone once referred to Eve Online as 'Ayn Rand's Battle Spreadsheets".

I think that there's something kind of fascinating and romantic about the idea that an entire world and the ongoing social affairs of thousands of people can fit on a single server blade in the middle of nowhere.

I wish you the best of luck! Your product is one of those things that everyone will have sooner or later.

You already have another radio: the Geolocation stack in the phone itself. It can't tell you precisely what side of the door you are on /now/ but it can certainly be used to infer how long you've been near the house and thus, where you're l

Dear Venturebeat, John Koetsier: I'm sorry I gave you clicks. Please accept this story flagging as an apology towards the greater discourse.

I don't think that app.net is selling an identity service that will take off or be worthwhile, but I strenuously disagree with the assertion that people won't pay for single sign in on the Internet. It is, in my opinion, the number one pain

If you recall that users can be tricked into doing just about anything, you'll see that there's no difference between 'can' install alternate software and 'will' install alternate software. And that software will inevitably turn malicious.

Great little game. Excruciatingly difficult but feels like a work of joy.

Enlighten me, niete! With a comment history on here that shows you speaking up only when gender politics are being discussed, I'm confident you have a well thought out perspective to share that I may not have considered.

Thank you.

That your friend keeps a literal spreadsheet of the pussy he gets is a pretty arbitrary personal note you've already shared. Zoom into the breach! Tell me what is good about the women you've dated. Just one thing, even. Be as floral as you

We're not going to play that game. Pick up artistry isn't about sex, its about power exchange with total strangers. Sex is the socially acceptable prize you win for manipulating someone you hate or resent at least as much as yourself into s

I can't come up with any reason why this isn't going to be massive. The password problem is the single most frustrating and alienating issue I can think of for normal users.

I don't know... it is interesting that they have a vastly superior Maps system in China now, and a relatively high quality set for the West Coast. (edit: areas of extreme competitive importance) But I can't believe that they would go toe-fo

Oh good gravy. While it's wonderful that an apology of sorts was offered, that's not unusual in Apple's history. They blew this, they blew this, they blew this. They failed to reset customer expectations, walked directly into a woodchipper

That math and engineering is wildly beyond me! But one suckypoo downer once you do sequester all that CO2? No planetary magnetic field. In short, scientists think there has to be a convecting, rotating, liquid metal core in order to create

Almost! The blueberries are hematite, Fe2O3, an iron oxide. Goethite is FeO(OH), an iron oxyhydroxide. Both strongly indicate water went in to making them but the blueberries imply they were submerged in water whereas goethite doesn't neces

Oh ya, there's still a bit of ice water on the surface. Also a large quantity at both poles (primarily on the South pole, whereas frozen CO2 tends to collect more on the North pole). There's even evidence of temporary crater puddles on nice

I did not know that, thank you! I can only imagine that engineering a rover to withstand those temperature swings is a pain in the ass.
