A clever URL hijack

A clever URL hijack 08/04/2004 08:26 PM

Wading through the comments on Microsoft's IE blog I discovered a clever URL hijack. The domain http://www.trustworthycomputing.com resolves straight to a Google search: "microsoft security OR privacy flaw OR flaws OR hole OR holes". Trustworthy Computing is the wrapper around...

Developer Rogue Amoeba announced the release of Audio Hijack 2.1.3 on Thursday. The new version of the company's tool for recording any audio on your Mac now keeps the computer awake while recording and adds performance enhancements and bug fixes. The company also made Audio Hijack Pro 1.3.1 available -- it offers an important fix for a bug created by Apple's June 7 Security Update. Both upgrades are free for all Audio Hijack and Audio Hijack Pro users. The full version of Audio Hijack is US$16, while the Pro edition, which adds such features as recording to MP3 format, is $30. Both require Mac OS X v10.2.7 or higher.

I have a lot of ideas. Maybe a handful are good ones. Once in a great while I might have a clever idea, but I'm constantly impressed by people that can truly be creative. To take a problem thousands of years old, turn it on its head and solve it with a new clever idea is something to behold.

These two ideas are just about the most clever things I've ever seen.

On the one hand, I do appreciate that my ISP does security scans, presumably checking for vulnerable and compromised machines on its part of the network. Yay them. On the other, I really wish they wouldn't do this from their nameserver machines. Having all the machines in your resolv.conf black-holed for security violations makes life somewhat less fun than one might otherwise like......

Koko goes to the dentist
About a month ago, Koko, a 300-plus-pound ape who became famous for mastering more than 1,000 signs, began telling her handlers... she was in pain. They quickly constructed a pain chart, offering Koko a scale from one to 10. When Koko started pointing to nine or 10 too often, a dental appointment was made. (There's a rather funny development at the very bottom of the story)

Those clever devils at Customized
Classics


Those clever devils at Customized
Classics
12/10/2003 04:20 PM

When I first saw Customized Classics a few weeks ago I felt like kicking myself. It's hard for most people to understand what "public domain" really means, and what value it can give us as a culture, and directly as capitalists and entrepreneurs.

Project Gutenberg has recently uploaded their 10,000th public domain book, and Brewster and the gang are working on the "million book project". To demonstrate the potential of the public domain, and show people what movies, music, and stories used to be like when there was an active public domain (that at one time was only 14 to 28 years old -- imagine making new movies and music from 60s stuff totally free of copyright), I've been kicking around ideas of how to exploit these free works (again, for demonstration purposes more than anything else).

One idea I called "judge a book by its cover." Take these public domain classics, create exciting, artistic cover designs (perhaps by famous designers), and sell them via the new crop of print-on-demand services. A few months ago there was news of Oprah's book club coming back to life and only selecting classics from the public domain, and how publishers would have to rush to meet the demands, but how anyone could print them up.

I've been coming up with other ideas but nothing is as good as customized classics. They just do a search-and-replace on names of your choosing, and spit out a custom book to you for 25 bucks or so. Brilliant and simple.

Devilishly clever comment spam


Devilishly clever comment spam 02/10/2004 02:56 AM
Go to pystl dot org. Looks like your standard open source Wiki, in this case for the Python St. Louis user group, doesn't it? If someone left a comment with that as the url, it would seem pretty innocuous, even if the comment was a little random and unfocused, wouldn't it? But check out the links at the top of the page. All for commercial products that have nothing to do with Python. One almost has to respect the artistry of the scam and the degree to which they have studied bloggers, and know our prejudices. It is amazing the lengths that people will go to get a few links to their site. I guess somebody must buy their trash. I said almost respect them. It is still comment spam, so into the trash bin it goes. But the spammers get points for effort on this one....

Clever zooming tricks improve mobile
user interfaces
03/19/2005 03:03 AM
Mark Frauenfelder: In my latest piece for TheFeature, I wrote about way researchers are using zooming tricks to make web sites easier to use on mobile phones.
[Patrick] Baudisch's solution to this problem is called "summary thumbnails," which he developed in collaboration with Heidi Lam at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. It is a mobile browser that renders pages as thumbnails, but keeps the text large enough to read. It achieves this by displaying readable text fragments. For example, a CNN.com headline that reads "Chimpanzee Attacks Supermodel at Circus" might be shortened to "Chimpanzee Attacks." All the other headlines and story summaries on the page get the same treatment. There's no artificial intelligence at work here -- it's simple truncation. But it's surprisingly effective. Baudisch and Lam conducted a user study and discovered that users found what they were looking for in web pages 41% faster and at a 71% lower error rate than they did when they looked for the same content on browsers that rendered pages as single columns, and that they zoomed 59% less than when they used ordinary thumbnail rendering browsers.
