This is a truly scary story : David Airey got his domain stolen because of a GMail vulnerability. Short story: it was (seems it’s fixed) possible to create filters on Gmail just by visiting a link or, say, loading a hidden frame on a malicious website. Like, create a filter to forward to evilguy@evilhost.com any email [...] → Read more

Gmail implemented a very cool feature (or at least it was recently added to my account) in the form of colored labels. You can assign each label a color from a selection, and I find this really handy when you’re scanning through all your unread mails at once. I like it. Too bad I’m still receiving [...] → Read more

One of the lesser advertised and known feature of Facebook is that you can link to a prettier profile URL than the default and rather lame profile.php?id=123456789. For instance, my profile URL is either: Ozh (full profile, sucky URL) or Ozh (short profile public page, slightly less sucky URL). From an SEO perspective it does not [...] → Read more

What a pointless idea… I mean, everyone knows how many spam they’re getting each day: Akismet as a WordPress plugin comes with a spam counter. I know I get between 100 and [...] → Read more

Christmas is approaching and I’m thinking a bit about what Santa could bring to me. One gadget I still miss because I’ve never found the perfect one is an MP3 player.
