If you use phishtank.com to verify phishes others submitted, you see clear patterns such as page filename, the exploit used and so on. There must be some "phishing kits" in use. If you see c.html in 6 different hacked servers in complete different locations, there is nothing but a software kit there.
* Domino is multiplatform, Notes kinda (current Linux client is barely usable)
The latest Notes 8 client for Linux is pretty good. Only released as a beta at the moment but snappy and pretty much the same as the Windows version. Mostly the same codebase now that it's all Java/Eclipse based. Notes 7 for OS X which has a trial (great to play around) gets very good reviews from OS X users.
Gmail now has a beta feature that allows you to get mail from other POP servers. So, you and the parent poster to your comment could both use Thunderbird and still have your mail searching.
BTW-- I retrieve my Gmail using Thunderbird. So indexing peoples private mails to display ads were not enough and now it is time for their ISP/Corparate accounts?
Does this somehow outperform spotlight without adding vulnerabilities? It seems like using Spotlight index. Not totally sure but there are non anonymous people on versiontracker etc. speaking about losing its local search functionality when they turned off Spotlight service via/etc/hostconfig
Dear Google fans, there are still people out there who cares about their privacy and doesn't take unnecessary risks if their OS already runs an indexing service at background. Modding down, digging down or whatever down won't change this.
That is "home" directory being indexed by a net/3rd party connected tool for you. Also that tool had a very weird security issue lately.
Someone should ask Apple why they didn't Internet enable spotlight at first place. They couldn't? I don't think so. It was the fact that it means "looking for trouble" in current Internet.
When OS X 10.4 shipped I rushed and bought it. There was a horrible bug in kernel extension with certain Apple supplied modems. Guess what happened? Nothing. It didn't initialise, whining a line at system.log and Mac kept working without internal modem functionality. Note I am stressing "internal modem" since it is basically a HCF modem, aka Winmodem, a thing relies entirely on CPU.
Now, lets put same chipset modem to a Windows Vista and corrupt the driver (kernel extension) by changing couple of bytes... What would happen?
They need that much horsepower to encode and decode 1080p H.264. You must be joking (and H264 is CPU intensive) but the "2k" and "4k" stuff used in professional video/movie editing really needs such monster configurations.
Lets see Digital Cinema spec, note that it is a "result", the master data could be higher.
"Briefly, the specification calls for picture encoding using the ISO/IEC 15444-1 "JPEG2000" (.jp2) standard and use of the CIE XYZ color space at 12 bits per component encoded with a 1/2.6 gamma, and audio using the "Broadcast Wave" (.wav) format at 24 bits and 48 kHz or 96 kHz sampling, controlled by an XML-format Composition Playlist, into an MXF-compliant file at a maximum data rate of 250 Mbit/s."
Now imagine the raw data which would result in such monster. Speaking about professional movie editing, those 3TB Max SATA II drives will only serve as a startup/application drive and believe or not, this is still a Workstation as Apple correctly labels.
Don't forget the cost of terabytes (petabytes?) of bandwidth cost for system updates for the DST change. I am in Istanbul and even I got the updates here.
I remember the OS X DST update was 8 MB and if you needed new update to Java which includes DST too was a massive dual arch package and both were of course marked as "critical system updates".
Lets not forget frustrated Apple customers who didn't like the idea of 3rd party patch for OS X 10.2.8 too. Thanks to 3rd party guys but thank God they were nice guys, a evil team could make first ever successful/working OS X trojan since it naturally needs Admin password.
Funny is the "metamoderation" doesn't know about April 1 and moderators will be punished to hell when this comment shows up in metamoderation 4 days later or something:)
For example if you move to BluRay production, the "total quality" media will be 50 GB and the pirates using P2P (which as I tipped, they sometimes leak their own) will know there is a 1080p version out there.
That is why Sony and Toshiba (Bluray vs HD-DVD) are speaking with that industry now, I believe lots of HD-Camera/Equipment vendors too.
They move to live streams (although at higher resolution than most non-porn streams seem to offer), to make it more difficult and less interesting to copy content.
Honestly, how would that help? Doesn't anyone know about downscaling? A lot of porn video clips still seem to be 320x240 (or at least less than 640x480) in either MPEG-1 or WMV. So all anyone has to do is capture the stream, downscale it to a more reasonable picture size, re-encode it and sell it on their site. You also don't need the massive amounts of bandwidth or storage that these guys need. Realistically, do you really need HD video to watch a woman getting screwed by three hung guys?
Those low res files you talk about are leaked by Porn industry themselves.:) Yes, they are that clever to use a technology (P2P) which was called evil by MPAA to suit their own promotion.
You would be surprised that porn industry are the first ones to use DVD technology in its full feature set like multiple angles.
Massive amounts of bandwidth? Once I had a friend working for a huge network vendor. He said their best customers are porn industry and funny that they could be counted as people "running the internet" after all those dotcom crashes.
I'm sure s/he knows this already. But pressing the ESC key or (gulp) having to go to prefs is way too involved. They want to use the STOP button to do it. I believe if the user suggests it in appropriate way, it will be enabled in a later version. That is exactly why Firefox manages to get installed to user's machines who would go nuts if someone installed Mozilla 1 to their machines. A developer community which learned to listen end users.
Why do I have to browse the web on something that wants to be an applications platform, an office suite, a local filesystem browser, and a dessert topping?
Um, because that's what computers are for? That is the exact thing what made Microsoft too afraid from Netscape and they decided to go into war.
It is not like they cared about what browser user will open CNN with, they were afraid someone using the technologies tipped by Netscape 4 would eventually make a webtop operating system which doesn't give a heck to what OS/Platform user is on.
It is exactly same deal about Java.
To see the mix of why they are so afraid, check http://www.thinkfree.com/ , mix of vendor independent Java+AJAX. That is what makes MS afraid.
Those would happen if Sun finally figures end user desktop concept is completely different from those $10k workstations and start a Desktop department which will even post stuff to Youtube.
They don't even give free signing to some great opensource developers out there who is stuck with Thawte freemail signature.
I am testing the "Photoshop Elements 3" trial, yes the older version on my OS X. I am definately impressed by the coding quality and the ease of tools.
If Adobe "ships" Photoshop Elements 3 kind of stuff to Web and asks for $$$ , count me in.
Notice Photoshop Elements 4 for Mac didn't ship yet so I won't tell about 48bit TIFF editing offered with it etc.
What can Adobe do to kill project from beginning? One small font sentence at bottom: "IE Required".
Amen. The "new" email interface is so slow and heavy.
They pulled the same to crap to tv.yahoo.com.
Yahoo should remember, "Don't fix it if it ain't broke!" Same goes for http://cm.my.yahoo.com/ (My Yahoo Beta) , it is like a virus spreading all over yahoo.com! No kidding. I hope the same genius (!) doesn't get the idea of "lets make these betas final and remove the working ones".
Serious, it can happen.
ps: About Gmail? I don't trade my privacy for POP3 in 2007
That would be my guess. I'd love to see QT4 on OSX, just to find out about a couple of behaviors (like, does it support native drag-and-drop, which find myself using infinitely more since moving to a mac. Does it support the mac top bar... thing.. I have no clue what to call it. Tool bar? File edit view bar? The one with the apple on it gosh darnit. That'd be a sticking point for me. I've used other apps (*cough*openoffice*cough*) on a mac, that don't use the top toolbar, and you have no idea how much it slows you down till you try it. ). I think QT can handle that since Google Earth, Skype, Opera (All QT) all have menu on top title bar. I have no clue what it is called either.:)
I have like 3 different sofware layers which enables me to block ads but I choose not to block them. If site is too stupid with ads and tries to show popups in 2007, I never visit that site again.
Here is a recent example. Go to news.yahoo.com with a Mac based browser and click "Apple Macintosh News", you see a completely rude, stupid "become giant when mouse touches and make 3/1 of page unreadable" flash ad.
The ad? You would guess: MS Windows Vista!
If these idiots will run Doubleclick too, God help them.
(Wanted to take screenshot but either Yahoo removed the ad or my getting tortured by MS ad counter is finished)
The KDE desktop is not going to be ported too Windows or Mac, simply the applications. It can have "halo" effect so the ordinary users who happens to love couple of Applications may want to see KDE in its own environment. Even OS X users. I guess there won't be need of X11 true?
So there are 100.000 idiots out there who purchased a BluRay movie and not watching it?
PS3 plays BluRay? Fine, it counts as a Bluray player.
Do we actually want HD-DVD clearly backed up by Microsoft and their usual puppets take over blu ray or do we want to watch 720x480 junk while even simplest monitor can do 1024(1280)x768 in 2007?

I actually installed it to my home desktop and I wouldn't think a second if there was a home edition.
The security and redundancy features were awesome. First time I felt like using all features of my fastmail.fm IMAP server.
BTW-- I retrieve my Gmail using Thunderbird. So indexing peoples private mails to display ads were not enough and now it is time for their ISP/Corparate accounts?
