    No, they are not. Just request the picture of your house to be taken down: http://www.webware.com/8301-1_109-9727719-2.html

    Thanks Raymond A Carnie, but that is only good for the phishers you don't fall for.

    I found that a popular porn filter is very good at weeding out fake business sites such as the fake pay pal and ebay fakes. This adds a strong layer of protection. They may send me a direct link to their fantastic deal on ebay, but when I get the scrubit page instead of ebay, then there is no way to give them real info by accident. Filtered internet is good for more than keeping the kids from surfing porn all day.

    I have tried to go to some of the more obvious fakes to poison their login collection spoof site, but my DNS filter is often in the way. If you encounter a bad site, they have a quick browser button that you can add to immediately add a site to the scrub list. It's fast and works well. It's kind of like a RBL for websites instead of email spam.

  3. We tried this - no funding by Salamanders · · Score: 1 · on Citizen Science and Grid Computing

    http://inchorus.com/ was a startup that tried to do exactly this (think Amazon Mechanical Turk, but distributed). Great fun, lots of projects... no seed funding. :)

  4. here you go... by emilng · · Score: 1 · on Adobe Intends To Move All of Its Applications Online

    I have trouble envisioning Adobe's bloated applications running satisfactorily in a Web environment

    Adobe is already working on a web based version of Photoshop and there's a video of it in action here: http://www.webware.com/8301-1_109-9790168-2.html

    I think when people think web applications they're thinking something created using AJAX. I know how the slashdot crowd loves to hate flash, but if you're building it in flash the performance is actually pretty decent. Check out the flash based online wordprocessor, Buzzword. It's the best online wordprocessor I've used. It's still in beta so you have to sign up to preview it, but here's a video of it in action.

    Disclaimer: I don't work for Adobe, but I make a living using their products.
