Porn Sites Using Blogspot To Game Google

Porn Sites Using Blogspot To Game Google 08/03/2004 12:32 PM
I think the only thing that's really all that noteworthy about this story is that it didn't happen sooner. In fact, it probably did happen sooner, but the press is just catching on. For quite some time now, people have realized that blogs tend to get higher Page Rank in Google due to their frequently updated nature, and tendency for cross-linking, so a group of porn sites have gotten together and are using bogus Blogspot blogs to boost the Page Rank of their own porn sites. Of course, as the article points out, this will now get to be much more popular, search engines will adjust and it will become useless again.

Want Sympathy For Surfing Porn At Work?

Want Sympathy For Surfing Porn At Work? 11/18/2003 01:52 PM
Okay, we've seen all sorts of bizarre legal excuses to get people off from charges of computer related crimes, but now people are combining that with psychologists' tendency to call everything an addiction. A guy in Germany who was fired from his job for (a) running up a huge internet bill charged to his office while (b) surfing porn at work has the guts to claim he's an online porn addict, and as such deserves "understanding", and not a pink slip. Now, certainly, there are people with problems who need to understanding and therapy, but this seems to be going too far. Why is it that no one can ever take responsibility for their own actions any more?

Those French "pornotuning" remixes aren't the first time someone with a pinch of snark and a penchant for pr0n got jiggy with Photoshop. For instance, this somethingawful riff from a couple of years back: "Make Porn Work-Safe." Results included the bizarre goatse-esque mashup shown here, which suggests a rollicking three-way between Man Ray, Terry Richardson, and Betty Crocker. BoingBoing reader Phil points us to the archived gallery and says, "Basically, they hacked pornopix just enough to make them (at least theoretically) safe for work."

SiteFilter thinks bl0gs are porn, chat
sites or worse and censors them 07/22/2004 02:31 AM
A couple days after discovering that the SiteFilter censorware in use at his hotel was blockign MeFi, Metafilter Matt ruminates on the general suckitude that is censorware, especially in light of the fact that SiteFilter's crappy blacklist is mandatory in the libraries of the State of Georgia.

I tried all sorts of blogs, both new and old, political and tech, but the ones that were blocked were completely random. Like I said before, waxy.org is blocked (screenshot), but similar sites are not. Gawker is blocked (screenshot), but no other gawker media site is (wonkette and gizmodo are fine). Acts of Volition seemed strange to block (screenshot), since it's a pretty tightly focused tech/design blog. On the purely humorous side, Oliver Willis is considered not a "Chat" site like the rest of the blocked blogs, but a "Sex" site (screenshot). I bet the #joiito army is not going to be happy when they hear that Joi Ito's site is blocked (screenshot).

Cop, sheriff work a little too closely,
produce online porn video 05/26/2004 12:13 PM
A San Francisco cop is under investigation for making a porn video with a colleague from the sherrif's department. Officials say an internal probe (ahem) is forthcoming.

In the video, which was posted on a pay-per-view Web site, Tenderloin beat cop Darryl Watts played out a fantasy where he pretended to be a john and a sheriff's department employee acted the part of a prostitute referred to as "Myra."

The video did not tap into any law enforcement themes common in the pornography industry. No badges, batons, uniforms or pistols were produced during the film, police said. (...)Police sources said that Watts, who has been on the force for three years, is a "good, productive street cop." Last year, he was hailed for capturing a man who was chasing another man with a butcher knife near Union Square.

Li nk, and honorary link-fu degree awarded to the first BoingBoing reader who finds a copy of the illicitly-produced video or the location of the website where it was first posted. Imitations will be promptly deleted. (Thanks, Marc)

It's been debunked by Snopes

Spencer Cross sez: "[T]he Annie Jacobsen article that you mentioned today has become quite a big deal, and the debate is far wider than just Snopes. Salon has an excellent followup to it that I thought you might want to read. The article has also been picked up and embellished by a number of "fair and balanced" media outlets. Likewise, "in an effort to provide the most up-to-date information," WWWS is now linking to several articles that support Jacobsen's relentless and unapologetic alarmism, but has failed to link anything on the other side of the debate. I would encourage people to e-mail the editors at WomensWallStreet.com and let them know what they think about their journalistic integrity: editors@womenswallstreet.co m.

First hand report from a writer for Women's Wall Street about her experience on a flight from Detroit to LA. Apparently a group of 14 men on the plane kept going into the restrooms and signaling each other. Hard to say what really happened, and it could have been perfectly innocent, but it makes for interesting reading.

The man in the yellow T-shirt got out of his seat and went to the lavatory at the front of coach -- taking his full McDonald's bag with him. When he came out of the lavatory he still had the McDonald's bag, but it was now almost empty. He walked down the aisle to the back of the plane, still holding the bag. When he passed two of the men sitting mid-cabin, he gave a thumbs-up sign. When he returned to his seat, he no longer had the McDonald's bag... ...Then another man from the group stood up and took something from his carry-on in the overhead bin. It was about a foot long and was rolled in cloth. He headed toward the back of the cabin with the object... ... The last man came out of the bathroom, and as he passed the man in the yellow shirt he ran his forefinger across his neck and mouthed the word 'No.'

One possibility -- the men were sharing food, and some of the food was spoiled, so they threw it away in the restrooms. Link (Thanks, Mike!)

We’ve been expecting it for awhile and it’s finally happened. The Hubble Space Telescope has gone offline. Even when the shuttles were running they didn’t plan to fix it when it failed, so it’s outlook is bleak. Hopefully there are plans in the works to replace it with some kind of newer array, giving us an even better view into the cosmos….

Sadly, it seems, as long as we have Windows servers and desktops there'll be a need for patch management services for these operating systems. It's not that there are other operating systems that never need patching (there aren't), but that the sheer quantity of Windows patches makes even a little bit of automation a welcome relief.
