Apple to Podcast Sirius Content?

I hinted in my
most recent podcast that this might happen.
Podcasting is catching the attention of mainstream media, commercial radio and software vendors, like Apple. Their next version is rumored to sport an RSS podcast client - with content accessible via the iTunes music stores, as well as via the usual RSS feed process.

Vigilante Hackers use Old West Tactics for Justice - “Angered by the growing number of Internet scams, online ‘vigilantes’ have started to take justice into their own hands by hacking into suspected fraud sites and defacing them”. Nothing like watching angry mob justice in action. [

Time out

I’ve been busy doing “nothing” lately.
Well, more correctly I’ve been making time to do nothing - to simply relax and watch a DVD, or go for a walk.
The next podcast is taking shape, which rocks - hopefully it will be of a higher quality and calibre than previous attempts. It’s something that tends to evolve […]

Microsoft “HoneyMonkey”

Microsoft’s “Honeymonkey” Project: Security Focus has
an article which describes this honeymonkey network, which is little more than a network of virtual Windows XP boxes in various patch states. These boxes are setup to crawl the seedier side of the web in search of vulnerabilities not being reported, and are being actively exploited in an […]

When memes attack - Musical Baton

It appears this months
meme fixation craze is passing a musical baton - go fig.
Out of nowhere I have had the “musical baton” passed to me (almost in unison) by
matthew,
phu and
nima.
So, here we go:
Total music files residing on my computer: 6.66GB (I shit you not).
Last CD I bought:
What’s a CD? :) I’m […]
