Security Experts to Microsoft: SP2 Has
Critical Flaws 08/20/2004 06:23 AM
German Internet security experts Heise Security have discovered what it calls two "flaws" in Service Pack 2. Microsoft has said its Service Pack 2 offers users the latest security "innovations," but Internet security experts said hackers could exploit cracks in SP2 defences to exploit a user's computer.

According to Heise Security, "Computer hackers could evade SP2's new security features and infect a computer that uses Windows with a virus or a worm." Heise further explains that Windows also does not source information properly if files are overwritten so that it can "be tricked to execute files from the Internet" without sparking a warning, even if users install the new SP2 update.

A Microsoft spokesperson addressed the warning by saying, "Microsoft has investigated these reports and is not aware of any instance in which an attacker could specifically bypass the service in email or a Web browser to allow a malicious attacker access to a user's system. We continue to encourage customers to review and install Windows XP SP2."

Matching newlines in JavaScript

Matching newlines in JavaScript 09/20/2004 04:59 PM

Just a quick note: the . character in a JavaScript regular expression will never match a newline character. If you want to match any character including newlines you can use the [\s\S] character class instead, which means "any character that's either whitespace or not whitespace".

This differs from both Python and Perl, where regular expression flags can be used to alter the behaviour of the . character (re.DOTALL and /s respectively).

This tip courtesy of the denizens of #javascript on Freenode.

Matching Book Purchases with Blogs

Matching Book Purchases with Blogs 04/20/2004 11:17 AM

Amazon should run reverse affiliate links. When you search for or look ar a book on Amazon, they should have a little box that says "If you like this book, you might like these blogs..."

Better yet, let people upload their OPML file to their Amazon profile. Then they could have a box that said, "People who bought this book are most likely to be subscribed to these RSS feeds..."

Got this idea while perusing the Share Your OPML app over at scripting.com.

Mixing and matching on one's public page

Mixing and matching on one's public page 06/06/2005 12:13 AM

Though the stylesheet is still rather conservative, and the range of external modules still limited; take a look at my public page on Tribe.net (below.) Imagine this was your "About Me" page.

Notice that we're meshing in de.licio.us and RSS feeds, giving our end-users the ability to put up more than one 'desktop image' up into their interface and combining internal and external blogs.

We're also displaying different combinations of friends and groups - and in general - fulfilling the 'customization' requirement of DLAs.

This is what we all need - every DLA, portal, social network and blogging tool around. The ultimate "About Me" page. Now that Tribe has set the new standard, all other systems will be compared to this.

I especially like this approach as it allows one to add in additional modules - without fundamentally changing the UI.

Sure it looks allot like MyYahoo, and it could use three columns, and sure we'd like sexier stylesheets and Tribe still needs a better header - but that all will come with time. It's the ease of use and power quotient that I'm excited about right now.

It's taken years - but the Tribe team: Paul Martino, Brian Lawler, Chris Vale, Elliot Loh (among otehrs) - and the product marketing dudes - Chris Law and Gary Chao - have finally figured it out.

It's called product iteration - and it's what we did with VideoWorlks - for five years till we got Director - just right.

Kyocera Releases iPod mini-Matching
Cameras 07/22/2004 08:11 AM

Hoping to cash in on the iPod mini craze (and you know, I've heard more stupid ideas before), Kyocera is selling five new color-matched versions of the four-megapixel Finecam SL400R cameras. Color-matched, that is, to the iPod mini. And while I'm sure they'll be super hot (at least to those fashion-forward iPod adopters), getting one into the States may not be so easy -- the cameras will only be available in Apple's Ginza store and the online Apple Store (but for Japan-shipping only? Unknown!) (Thanks, Jon!)

New x-ray fluorescence fingerprint
detection 03/22/2005 04:59 PM
David Pescovitz: Scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory have devised a new method to detect the chemical residue left behind by your fingertips. They used micro-X-ray fluorescence (MXRF) to reveal the sodium, potassium, chlorine, and other elements excreted in sweat and deposited in a fingerprint pattern. From Los Alamos News:

The technique has several advantages over traditional fingerprint detection methods that involve treating the suspect area with powders, liquids, or vapors in order to add color to the fingerprint so that it can be easily seen and photographed. Using this technique, known as contrast enhancement, it is sometimes difficult to detect fingerprints present on certain substances, such as multicolored backgrounds, fibrous papers and textiles, wood, leather, plastic, adhesives and human skin.

Since MXRF is noninvasive, a fingerprint analyzed by the method is left pristine for examination by other methods like DNA extraction.

The wider use of fingerprint scanning technology in recent years has made it easier than ever for law enforcement officials to share information about criminals and quickly compare a suspect's fingerprint image with millions of similar imprints, according to a January report from the U.S. General Accounting Office. But it can still take small police departments that can't afford the electronic equipment more than five months to mail batches of fingerprint cards to state repositories, the report said.
