]Google Desktop Search might just be too good. Using the new
]software, I was able to bypass user names and passwords that
]secure Web-based e-mail programs and view personal messages sent
]and received on public PCs.

]Using Google's new software on a shared computer at the Google
]booth at the Digital Life trade show floor I was able to easily
]search for, find, and read private Yahoo e-mail sent on the
]computer by previous users earlier in the day.

]Marissa Mayer, Google's director of consumer Web products, told
]me she wasn't surprised. "This is not a bug, rather a feature,"
]she says. Google always intended people to be able to index and
]search Web-based e-mail viewed and composed on PC, she says.
]Google Desktop Search is not intended to be used on computers
]that are shared with more than one person, she say.

She specifically said it was not intended for shared computers.

Hmmm, It been years since I checked, but back in the day Office used to do this index feature called "Find Fast" for Office documents. Most everyone disabled it because it killed what was already terrible hard drive performance. I wondering if these index files are world-visible, and if new versions for office do it.

4Access Communcations (http://www.4access-comm.com/), an innovative company who builds Point of Sale devices running Linux, have entered into an agreement with me to license the Parsing and Database technology of Stripe Snoop.

They will fund porting this functionality of Stripe Snoop to a linkable library running on uClinux. Under the terms of the negotiated contract, I retain full ownership and copyright to Stripe Snoop, and the ported library. This library will be released under the LGPL, for 4Access Communcations, and everyone elses, use, both commerical and non-commerical.

Further, I am funded to write a program to read from a magstripe device (/dev/msr), and demonstrate how the library is used. Under the terms of the contract, this program will be released under the GPL.

I can't say I've ever seen a harddrive have THIS happen to it. How very ODD. The platters were wiped almost completely clean.

DAMN!

Ever seen a harddrive fail like THIS?

A great examination of chip architecture. ALU degisn, Branch prediction, FPU operations. Basic understanding of processor internals needed to really grasp it: (What a bubble in the pipeline is, ans why it is bad, What a PC is and why is is nasty to calc in x86, instruction re-ordering, etc)

] To adopt these solutions you need to either purchase
] certificates from a public Certification Authority (CA),
] or build your own Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). Both
] options are now incredibly easy

... ... Now I'm not the smartest man in the world, but I wouldn't quantify building your own PKI for scatch as easy. Yeah, using a wizard to connect and get issued a certificate might be something a PHB could do. Thats just what we need a Visual Sutdio .NET: wizard for creating a PKI!

PKI: Now for bosses!

] Stripe Snoop was showcased on G4TechTV's The Screen
] Savers. However, I have little beef with one of the
] hosts, Kevin Rose. Rose manages to do a 4 minute bit,
] using my software, my hardware, even my exact reader
] modification, and mentions Stripe Snoop once. Once! And
] for all my hard work on the matter, I am mentioned ...
] not at all. Yes, your humble author whose work Rose
] basicly jacks isn't even mentioned. Even Rose's
] introduction, "The other day I looked in my wallet and
] wondered...," was lifted directly from this site. He even
] uses a photo from my website in the production. While I
] enjoy the exposure, and indeed the web stats show I nice
] bump, Rose does not give credit where credit is due.
] Somehow I can't see Leo Laporte being a jackass like
] that.

] What Vega gives Azul is the ability to spread Java
] software workloads across 24 cores per processor. Yep,
] Azul has come out with one of the most radical multicore
] designs to date. It will ship systems with four to 16
] processors, giving it 384 Java processing cores at max in
] a single box.

This would be cool, if only it was 1998.
