When I first saw reports–I think on Reuters–that the DDOS attack that brought Twitter down and Facebook to a crawl on Thursday was directed at knocking one blogger in Georgia (country, not state) off line, I was somewhat skeptical. But this morning it was in the New York Times, so It Must Be True ™ […]

Power dot com, an agregator for social networking sites, has sued Facebook over issues of access. The suit, however, is framed in terms of “Who owns users’ data?” The Reuters story (full story here) is short of details of what exactly Power dot com wants to do with the data, but I’m guessing it’s an […]
What a difference a day makes…. Apps Well, not really. I am still happy with my purchase. Last night I spent some time working out some of the settings. I also have been getting apps for the phone. The Bug Spray app was not that great. Was really razzing people with the iHandgun app. Drum […]

Automation can be a wonderful thing for performing repititious tasks, well, repititiously. Automatons, though, have not judgment. According to an article in the Washington Post, persons with real, but unusual names, face great struggles in getting through Facebook’s automatons to someone with judgment. Rejected, yet valid names include “Super,” “Batman,” “Pancake,” and “Beers.” (I used […]
Judging by this description from McAfee, when Koobface infects a computer, it connects to the net and downloads additional malware. Here’s one item it attempts to download. The worm uses social engineering to spread. It sends users bogus messages posing as an invitation to watch a video and prompts the user to download malware disguised […]
