The rapid growth in his follower numbers is certainly impressive, but I'm more curious about who he chooses to follow. Looking through the list, it was mostly foundations. What struck me as odd was that he followed Ashton Kutcher and Ashl

I'm curious about the video monitoring on the machines that have been tampered with. What do these security cameras normally see? Do the perps block the camera so it can't see them installing their hardware? If so, couldn't some program be

That seems like a reasonable expectation. I guess I need to look at this article and scanner a little closer before I comment on what this particular tool does (or doesn't).

Scanners cannot look for every possible bug. They can however, look for known bugs. And that's what most attempt to accomplish. In a nutshell: The scanner looks for known files (thus you see a lot of 404's). If it finds these files, it ma

Cool. Another part of my experiment complete with this publication: how to get press without really trying. (but I should probably save that for another post)

I have no problem with your disagreement and I certainly appreciate that you took the time to say something. The issue you highlighted is interesting. We have someone who has been accused of a crime, but not convicted yet. Is it right or wr

The auto-change is actually in the code, but the first beta-testers complained. Sounds like I may need to make it configurable, or redesign the was transitions happen. Your ideas about "just one more" and updated percentages sound interesti

First, you need to define a few things: - very small (10's, hundreds, etc) - focused (girls who wear pink?) - successfully I've always assumed folks wrote facebook apps to grab the eyeballs of the 16 million users and ride the network effec

If I recall correctly, and am seeing what I think I see in video #2, the purpose of the challenge was to lift off from one pad, move a certain distance and land safely on a different pad.

You could assume PG would be too busy to respond to a password reset, much like you could assume a password reset function is a basic necessity of a web site. However, I personally, have proven at-least one of these assumptions wrong.

I'm not sure this is a metric a web developer should care about. I always assumed the website would deliver the same X bytes of data, at the same level of performance for each request, regardless of source location. If this, or any other te

I don't understand why you would have a problem with this. The javascript that makes this happen, does run in the browser, on your desktop, or as you put it, the application level. Regardless of how your password is displayed when typed (ei

The iphone does have a connection point, and if I remember correctly, they are opening it up to third parties. So, if the phone can take blood pressure and insulin readings, I'm guessing it will only be a matter of time before it also accep

You are correct that the end user controls what is ultimately sent to MS (or whomever is probing). However, if they are doing something like plugin enumeration or using a java applet to go a little deeper, you then have to know what the req

This is going to be a popular idea but I don't think it will work if MS has their act together. You can profile a browser based on things like plugins. Maybe there is a plugin that only works in IE8 and is used for nothing but real browser

Nice looking, yes. Clue, not so much. It could be argued that they: - shouldn't be sitting with an open root shell - should use audited/logged sudo for root stuffs - use the full path to 'ls' but I probably shouldn't get bogged down discuss

the only problem with this piece is, I have yet to find the mythical "real domain that you can own". I've leased/rented/licensed/used quite a few domains over the years, but they each come with some sort of expiration and a threat that some
