Don't Visit Websites With Microsoft IE







Don't Visit Websites With Microsoft IE

Don't Visit Websites With Microsoft IE 06/25/2004 02:33 AM

It really is getting ridiculously dangerous these days for anyone to keep using Microsoft IE. People always talk about the day when scammers will start to use "zero day exploits" to smash through security holes before they're patched, and that's clearly already happening. The latest move, which is fairly advanced (and many assume is being done by organized crime groups in Eastern Europe) is to hack into a variety of popular company websites and install some code to exploit a known IE vulnerability that has not been patched by Microsoft. Once this is done, any IE user visiting any of these websites (which they obviously would assume to be safe based on the companies involved) ends up with some of the most insidious keylogging spyware. The article won't list the companies, but from the descriptions they sound like sites anyone might visit on a regular basis (banks, auction sites and comparison shopping engines). This sounds quite similar to the Interla nd hack from last year, but could impact many more users.

DOJ Makes Compliance Visit to Microsoft 07/22/2004 11:08 AM
Microsoft's antitrust compliance in developing Longhorn, the next-generation Windows operating system, will be part of the Department of Justice's (DoJ) agenda when investigators travel to Redmond next week. While the initial compliance focus has been on Microsoft's current XP operating system, a joint report by the DOJ and Microsoft released earlier this month said the DoJ is also monitoring Microsoft's Longhorn compliance. The report is the first of what will be semi-annual status updates mandated by the settlement agreement.

The best online poker websites have become the best training grounds for the world's top poker players and future poker stars. 2003 World Series Of Poker Champion Chris Moneymaker shocked the Las Vegas establishment and world with his domination of the 2003 ESPN WSOP Championships at Binion's Horseshoe Casino.

A Visit to Fry's


A Visit to Fry's 07/03/2004 02:15 AM

It's been a while since I have been to Fry's but I needed to get some gears today.

Wi-Fi stuff - Annoyances of being wire-bound finally got to me.  So I picked up some Wi-Fi PCMCIA cards and a Wi-Fi router/firewall.  It's amazing how cheap the stuff is now.  I paid $29 per Wi-Fi cards and $49 for the Wi-Fi router/firewall, both made by D-Link.  They were actually $49 and $69 respectively, but I lucked out and got $20 rebates on each of them.

External USB hard disk - I didn't want the hassle of upgrading the internal hard drive so the only remaining choice was an external hard disk.  I went with Maxtor One Touch 250G which was priced at $279.  Isn't it annoying that external drives cost about $100 more than the internal drives?  Someone must have read my mind because they charged me only $179 for the drive when I got to the counter.  Weird but I wasn't going to argue with them to charge me more, so I was smiling on the way out.  Heh.

I also had to get a USB 2.0 PCMCIA card for the laptop because my Dell laptop only had USB 1.1 support.

Now it's time for a bit of ranting.  I can't use Wi-Fi and USB 2.0 at the same time because both the Wi-Fi PCMCIA card and the USB 2.0 PCMCIA card has bulb-like ends.They are all right if only one card is like that but you can't insert two such cards at the same time because they both extrude in the same direction (normally up).  If different direction is problematic they they should have at least made one card types longer.

Update:

I guess you get what you paid for.  I got Wi-Fi working but when I started looking around the D-Link router admin console to increase security, I found that D-Link is rather lacking.  For example, I found no way to restrict access to a handful of MAC and WPA didn't seem to work.  Windows Wi-Fi control panel being confusing didn't help either.

I wonder if NetGear is any better.

Websites Who Want To Remain Bad 07/20/2004 12:40 PM
Sometimes you have to wonder what certain companies or organizations are thinking. A few years ago, when Ellis Island put their records online, they had a dreadful interface. A genealogist with the skill and the time, created a new, much more user friendly front end that quickly became the preferred way for many genealogists to search the site. Of course, Ellis Island then threatened to sue him to shut down the site. The same thing seems to be playing itself out over in the UK, where someone who had problems with Odeon Cinemas' website built a better version (one that would actually work in non-IE browsers). For his troubles in helping them completely for free and bringing more business to them, he received a cease and desist letter. No wonder no one wants to help anyone out any more. You might get sued.

There are all kinds of tools to help you find information on the Web, but if you don't bookmark the page when you get there, you're on your own when you need to find your way back. A study that teases out how people re-find pages could lead to better annotation tools. Following a marked trail, after all, is easier than relying on memory.
