10.2.2 kills the moviephone search channel in sherlock.
Before you update, control-click on the sherlock application, view package contents, look in Resources, copy the Channels directory and then paste it somewhere in your home directory before Apple stomps on it.
Hopefully you can find a way to get the channel back in sherlock after the upgrade.
It's too late on my machine, so I'm hoping the wife hasn't updated hers yet (I don't feel like re-installing Jaguar just get a search channel back.)
It's silly to ask your small kitchen appliance to send "screenshots" of a virtual screen when cheaper lower-level protocols can be used. If you want a pretty GUI, paint it on the client end based on lower-level feedback from the appliance.

when you consider the causes of security bugs, I think that closed source software is likely to have more (lack of awareness, software releases driven by marketing deadlines, etc)

minor nit:
Quartz is not a user interface, it is a rendering layer. Aqua is the user interface. One could use Quartz to render non-Aqua UIs as well (even windows-looking UIs).

I've got a colorblind vision simulator in development which aims to help web developers select background/foreground colors that work for color blind users.
It simulates three different types of colorblindness and also simulates different gamma correction (to emulate other platforms' renderings) as well as black and white monitors.
The source is available, which may (or may not) help in the application which initiated this thread (I *hate* javascript, but that's what this uses, so the source is javascript).

Why didn't they just set up their webserver to redirect any HTTP 1.1 traffic with that host header to 2600's site?
That would have nullified 99% of the effect of the prank and made the prankster's look foolish when their frieds try the links they sent out via email.

There is no such thing as consent in
pornography, because every person involved is there because of dire economic
need.
Yeah... like when Vanna White did Playboy all those years ago, it was because she wasn't making enough money on the Wheel Of Fortune.
...and when they do "Coeds on Campus" or the equivilant, all those students are in dire economic need because they've decided to blow all their spare change (after rent, tuition, books, beer money, and utilities) on christmass presents for their families.
Puh-lease.
I've known porn models, strippers and mud restlers. Not a single one of them was in any more dire economic need than I was. In fact, without exception, they made more money than I did (I was an undergrad).
You've got some twisted image of homeless heroine addicts selling their bodies for their next fix or their next meal. That may be the reality for some individuals, but it isn't what happens in mainstream pornography, and certainly isn't the case for "every person involved", as you claim. Hell, Hugh Hefner is involved. He's certainly not broke.
Go talk to some strippers and learn for yourself before you spout this nonsense. You really have no idea what you're talking about.
I'm spam-phobic.
When an old highschool classmate asked for my email address to use for distributing reunion-planning information, I gave a "disposable" address, created on the spot, and specific to that purpose. (Disposable addresses are my favorite reason for having my own domain).
Old classmates sent mail to this list of recipients (it wasn't a real mailing list, but rather just a collection of addresses, so folks did a reply-to-all to send to everyone) about the reunion, and one day someone sent a message to the reunion list (and nearly everyone else in their address book) just because they thought it was hillarious and that we would appreciate it.
Problem.
Now all of our email addresses were on the To: line of a message that was sent to "everyone in so-and-so's addressbook". In particular, my email address was now in the hands of unknown others. Some of those unknown others probably continued forwarding the message, contributing the exponential growth of the number of unknown others who now knew my email address. Eventually, some of those unknown others may forward the funny to a mailing list... a mailing list which is archived on the web... a web which is crawled by address-harvesting spiders... spiders operated by spamers and their ilk.
My address, through no action of my own is now at risk of ending up in spammers hands, and I can't stop this from happening. It's totally out of my hands.
Fortunately I used a disposable address. I told my classmates why "forwarding to everyone" puts you and those you care about at risk of being spammed, and I told them the new address they could use, becuase the old one was now going to be routed to the bit bucket.
Your email address is never safe from spam, so long as anyone who knows it might pass it on to someone who doesn't know better than to not "forward to everyone". It only takes one slip and then things are out of your hands.
In this amazon case, maybe you used that one time address to notify your friend. Your friend forwarded that message to their friend too (or had their mail accessible via an insecure POP-via-HTTP gateway.
Anyhow, the *best* thing is to give everyone you email an address unique to them. If they break it, you can decide whether to give them a fixed one. If a company breaks it, then direct all future spam to one of their non-disposable addresses like sales@ or support@ and let them deal with their own mess.
