Social engineering a shop out of $4K
worth of computers 05/16/2004 06:33 AM
Excellent first-person account of a security consultant who entered a store (at management's request) and conned the staff into helping him boost nearly $4,000 worth of computers and walk out the front door with it all.

I was trying to find some paperwork that I could carry into the warehouse to use as 'official company documents'. I hit the jackpot when I opened the breakroom door when I noticed that the store had a seperate room for smokers as well, so I decided that I had worked hard enough so far and I deserved a break. After a refreshing dose of a nicotine inhaler I was back on the job. A quick survey of the non-smoking break room turned up a printout of employees who were scheduled to work that day.

Social people don't need social
networking 12/14/2003 09:54 PM
Kevin Werbach points out that social networking sites like LinkedIn and Tribe and so forth have very little to offer highly connected people like Esther Dyson, who would nevertheless be a real asset to the network:

Esther and Pierre don't need LinkedIn to reach pretty much anyone they want to contact. Yet there are a whole lot of folks who want to reach them, and don't have a personal connection to do so. So the service worsens their email overload with little corresponding benefit.

Social Applications For Social Devices

Social Applications For Social Devices 07/13/2004 01:53 AM
The mobile phone, by its very nature is a "social" device. It's designed to help connect you to someone else. While most of the early efforts to create "mobile data" have come from a broadcast mindset (delivery produced content to an audience), it looks like some are finally realizing that mobile data apps need to be social to really catch on. If they're not making use of the mobile phone for what it's good for, then it's unlikely to get too much attention. MIT's Tech Review has a good overview of a variety of different "social" projects related to mobile devices, from the ever popular "Dodgeball" mobile social networking application to Fluidtime's dorm room washing machine SMS scheduler (and negotiator, should you find out you need the machine now and someone else has it booked). These are the types of applications that really are the future of mobile phones -- and not the ability to watch the latest reality TV series on your phone or to receive a marketing message from Disney.

Intro to Bindings

Intro to Bindings 04/30/2004 01:35 PM
Historically, Cocoa developers have had to keep data objects and view objects in sync manually... By just writing a few methods, you give life to very rich, full-featured tables. Cocoa does a lot of the hard work. But if you have multiple controls that depend on each other, there's more work involved... Bindings gives you a way to define relationships, and Cocoa figures out what to do at runtime. You have to write less code, which means faster development and more functionality for free.
