YouTube - Trojan Horse Test
Topic: Miscellaneous 3:31 pm EDT, Jul 17, 2007

This rocks. some Australian guys build a Trojan Horse full of people dressed like Greek solders, and then try to get it past security into various places in Sydney. The only place that denies them access is the Turkish Consulate.

YouTube - Afterworld Episode 1 - The Big Day
Topic: Miscellaneous 12:38 pm EDT, Jul 16, 2007

Episode 1 Summary: Russell Shoemaker wakes up in a New York hotel room the morning after a catastrophic phenomenon wipes out technology and all signs of life. And then the rains begin...

Run down 41 flights of stairs with a laptop and you gain a new appreciation for elevators.

It made no sense. A big, 4 star hotel and not a soul in sight.

If you haven't seen Afterworld you are missing out. Very cool; watching the episodes I'm reminded of Day of The Triffids

NZ Banks pass the security buck to end users

Liability for any loss resulting from unauthorized Internet banking transactions rests with the customer if they have "used a computer or device that does not have appropriate protective software and operating system installed and up-to-date, [or] failed to take reasonable steps to ensure that the protective systems, such as virus scanning, firewall, antispyware, operating system and antispam software on [the] computer, are up-to-date."

Grandpa, why's Grandma getting arrested?
Because she didn't patch Windows Timmy.

I don't have a good feeling about this. Lets say Grandma leaves her garage unlocked and Eve takes some tools out of it and uses them to break into a bank. Is Grandma "Liability for any loss" because she "does not have appropriate [locks] installed and up-to-date?"

Is Grandma criminally negligent for not keeping her computer up-to-date? Civilly?

I wonder how this applies to Phishing. If Grandma falls for a phishing scheme and didn't spend money on an anti-phishing filter, is she liable?

Cat has camera on collar so we can see what he does
Topic: Miscellaneous 3:20 pm EDT, Jun  8, 2007

From Boing Boing:

"Mr. Lee is a cat in Germany, whose owner has attached a camera to his collar so that we can share his daily adventures! Some of the photos are mysterious. Others are beautiful. I love this!"
