Spam That Tricks Me

Spam That Tricks Me 11/06/2003 04:11 AM
If you get enough spam, I'm sure you know the feeling. As you sort through your mail, deleting the obvious spam, you find one that you're not sure about and you end up opening it - and sure enough, it's spam that tricked you. Every time you do that, you probably feel a little silly for getting tricked. I know I do. Columbia Professor Sree Sreenivasan discusses a few of the messages that tricked him and explains why he was fooled. He's a lot more forgiving than I am, but I get fooled by more than my fair share. Meanwhile, picking up on Sreenivasan's column is another reporter who points out that if any readers want to email him, they need to come up with a subject line that is clearly not spam. I agree. I know there have been a few borderline emails that I opened and turned out to not be spam - but I couldn't tell from the subject lines. I'm sure there are others that I've ended up deleting.

Tricks of the trades

Tricks of the trades 03/22/2005 04:37 PM
Trade Tricks is a collection of all the little 'tricks of the trade' which people build up with experience. Some are pretty hum-drum, but others are useful even if you don't practice the trade. For example, this tip for checking if a diamond is real may at some time be handy, and this one for washing a pan would have been useful last night. Found via, and run by the writer of, defective yeti

Tricks of the Trade

Tricks of the Trade 08/27/2004 01:33 PM

The Morning News has a fun article on "tricks of the trade": documenting little tricks used in various professions. Great stuff.

This year, for instance, a programmer can always tack the phrase "and I'm thinking of incorporating some XML functionality"ť onto a project summary to explain why he'll need an extra week, account for a missed deadline, or impress a superior. In this respect, the gap between software engineers and birthday clowns is almost negligible.

Patients will occasionally pretend to be unconscious. A surefire way to find them out is to pick up their hand, hold it above their face, and let go. If they smack themselves, they’re most likely unconscious; if not, they’re faking.

Stupid Laptop Tricks

Stupid Laptop Tricks 04/10/2005 12:47 PM

In advance response to those who would misread the title to this article, it's the tricks that are stupid, not the laptop!

I just started a new job this week heading up the graphics department of a small printing company. I had become accustomed to having a laptop at my disposal at my old job — an aging 500MHz PowerBook G4 — so my new employer sweetened his offer to lure me to the new job with the promise of a spiffy new PowerBook. The new one runs at 1.5GHz, and while the speed difference is impressive and reason enough to not look back after the upgrade, some of the other features, like the automatic screen dimming, lighted keyboard, Combo drive, standard BlueTooth and AirPort, etc... are pretty cool too.

One of the things the guy at the Mac shop mentioned when he was showing it to me was the "Sudden Motion Sensor" feature, which uses several sensors in the case to detect sudden changes in position, and will park the hard drive heads to keep them from crashing into the drive platters. I hope I'll never need that feature, and really didn't think much about it, but of course some people just aren't able to leave a feature like that alone. Amit Singh has figured out how to gather data generated by those sensors...

While the PowerBook only uses the AMS as a defensive measure to prevent accidental damage to the disk drive, such sensors could have a variety of uses. In particular, they have been considered an alternative input methods in user interfaces for video game controllers, phones, PDAs, and other mobile devices. While it is to be seen if they will be successful in these areas, such use at least has a novelty value

He's even built a couple of silly little apps that make use of the sensors.

AMSV isualizer A graphical application that displays a 3-D picture of a PowerBook. The picture's orientation is a real-time approximation of the PowerBook's physical orientation. Thus, the on-screen picture moves with the movement of the AMS-equipped PowerBook.

Stable Window A graphical application that creates a window displaying a bicycle wheel. The window is "stable" in the sense that if you rotate the AMS-equipped PowerBook left or right, the window compensates by rotating itself by an equal amount in the opposite direction.

Running StableWindow is the wierdest thing; a window's edges are just supposed to be aligned with the edges of the screen; seeing something other than that is just... wierd. But some of the... um... "practical" applications for this sound kinda fun. I catch no end of grief from my wife & kids about using body english when I'm playing FA-18 Hornet on the desktop machine at home; how cool would it be for those body movements to actually control the simulator! Then I could truthfully tell them that leaning in my chair actually does help!

Merlin's tips and tricks 09/08/2004 07:14 AM
Cory Doctorow: Merlin Mann, the hilarious polymath geek dude, has started a new site of usability tips-and-tricks called 43 Folders that is chock-a-block with reallye excellent tips for getting the most out of every bit of technology in your life.

Most sites requiring registration ask you to choose a "secret question" to which only you supposedly know the answer. Of course, in the age of Google, the city where you were born and your mother's maiden name may no longer be the best kept secrets in the world.

So, next time you register for a site and it asks for your response to a challenge question, choose something that's completely insane, but really memorable to you.
