Amazon launches web storage service

2006-03-21T23:56:00.000-08:00

Amazon launches web storage service:

Amazon S3 (which stands for "Simple Storage Service") is a new web service that basically extends Amazon's huge data storage and transfer capabilities to web developers at large for a fee. "Amazon S3 enables any developer to leverage Amazon’s own benefits of massive scale with no up-front investment or performance compromises," goes the press release. Storing data with S3 costs $0.15 per gigabyte per month and $0.20 for each gigabyte transferred. The service is intended for web developers only, meaning it can be accessed with common APIs but not directly by end users, but files of any type up to 5GB may be stored and each file has a unique URL. It even has a built-in BitTorrent interface. It looks great for developers that have big ideas (and big data) but don't have the resources to build a big infrastructure themselves

Mozilla Lightning calendar for Thunderbird

2006-03-21T23:50:00.000-08:00

Mozilla Lightning calendar for Thunderbird:

Lightning is a new component for Mozilla Thunderbird that is a complete redesign of the Calendar extension, and the first version has just been releasedy. Having tried Calendar and being unimpressed, I'd say this is good news. Lightning promises better integration with Thunderbird including e-mail-to-task integration, address book integration, meeting invitations, and synchronization with portable devices. Lightning 0.1 is currently available as an XPI extension for Windows, Mac, and Linux, and it will eventually be fully integrated into Thunderbird.

Google Finance launched

2006-03-21T23:45:00.000-08:00

Google Finance launched:

Google took nobody by surprise today with the launch of Google Finance. The new financial portal is pretty slick, with a similar feel to Google Maps. Stock charts are powered by Flash rather than AJAX and have a very flexible interface. Along with all the usual info like market cap, volume, and so on, Google Finance also annotates its charts with recent news articles and even blog and newsgroup chatter. One feature I found cute is the "Management" are of the page that lists the company's higher ups—if you hover your mouse over one of their names, a little headshot of them will pop up. Ironically, when I hit the page for Apple (AAPL), it showed no photo for Steve Jobs, possibly the most-photographed CEO in the valley.

Install XP on Mac video tutorial

2006-03-21T23:43:00.000-08:00

Install XP on Mac video tutorial:

I have to wonder what it's like at Apple right now, what with everybody and their grandma installing Windows XP on their Intel Macs. Are heads rolling? Are doves being released into the sky? Do they even care? Well, if one thing's sure, it's that installing XP on your Mac is only going to get easier, ergo this video tutorial from UNEASYsilence, which donated $500 to the cause. The tutorial is about 12 minutes long, formatted for your iPod (a higher-resolution version is coming soon), and pretty easy to follow.

Iron Sudoku

2006-03-21T06:07:00.000-08:00

Iron Sudoku :

I've found a great new Sudoku site called Iron Sudoku. While I'm still partial to the Miniclip.com version's mousewheel-driven interface, Iron Sudoku's non-Flash interface (yes, that's AJAX you smell) is easy to use and efficient enough for speed-players. It also has two different color markers, red and green (hold Shift or Ctrl, respectively) and lets you save your progress at any point (and I'm told autosave is coming soon). Most interestingly, Iron Sudoku is social software, so while you're playing you can chat with players around the world who are working on the same puzzle, and sometimes it's nice to know you're not the only one pulling your hair out hunting for hidden subsets. There's one puzzle per day and completing a puzzle wins you points—10 for Expert, 5 for Hard, and so on (but rankings unfortunately won't be enabled until April 1, unless I've been fooled). Signing up for Iron Sudoku is free, but paying members (a one-time $14.95 fee) get a few extra features like a friends list and account customization.

Boot XP on Mac right now

2006-03-21T06:05:00.000-08:00

Boot XP on Mac right now:

When they said "shortly" I didn't realize just how shortly. narf2006's $13,000 solution for booting Windows XP on your Intel Mac is available right now, in the form of a 777kb zip file. In order to accomplish the feat you'll need a PC on which you'll create a custom slipstreamed XP install disc. In case it's not obvious, this is not for the faint of heart, but the distribution contains clear instructions in sensible English, which is promising. As you might expect, the XP-on-Mac site is under significant load just now, so if you have difficulties, head over to Engadget for a list of mirrors.

Google Maps for your mobile phone

2006-03-21T06:01:00.000-08:00

Google Maps for your mobile phone:

Finally, what might be a compelling reason to upgrade my old 'n crufty phone: Google Local Mobile. Google has taken the next logical step and brought Google Local (Google Maps included) to mobile phones. Though I can't actually use it, from the tour it look fantastic. It has almost all of Google Local's features, including built-in local search, driving and walking directions, and even satellite images. Google Local Mobile will work on most Java-enabled phones and can be accessed by going to google.com/glm in your phone's web browser.
On top of that, Google has also added up-to-the-minute sports scores and schedules to Google SMS. You can it by sending a text message to 46645 ("GOOGL") with a school or team name.

Zookoda - free email newsletter manager for bloggers

2006-03-21T06:00:00.000-08:00

Zookoda - free email newsletter manager for bloggers:

Unfortunately not everyone in the world is on board with RSS, even though we all know they should be. For the bloggers out there that would like to keep their less-savvy relatives and friends up to date when you post new content to your blog, you might want to consider the free Zookoda email newsletter service for bloggers.
Zookoda is in public beta, so should not be considered to be fully released. But in these "Web 2.0" days, beta seems to be a label many users are willing to ignore *cough* Gmail *cough*. The ability to serve ads is a feature that is "coming soon", and it's a safe bet this feature will be the basis of their business model moving forward.

Odeo embeddable recorder: voicemail for your blog

2006-03-21T05:58:00.000-08:00

Odeo embeddable recorder: voicemail for your blog:

Podcasting portal Odeo recently added a feature that lets people record messages for you on your Odeo page, kind of like voicemail for the web. What's cooler, though, is that the message recorder can be embedded in any web page, so you can stick it in a blog post and anyone with a microphone can come along and leave a voice message for you. To use it you'll need an Odeo account, but people don't need one to leave you a message.

Red Hat posts Fedora Core 5

2006-03-21T05:56:00.000-08:00

Red Hat posts Fedora Core 5:

The latest edition of Red Hat's community-supported Linux distribution is now available for download. If you're a Linux geek, it doesn't get much better than this. Slashdot is linking to a video describing the improvements over Fedora Core 4. What's one to do with Fedora Core Linux, you ask? Well, why not build a bicycle-powered telephone system? Or do some wicked pagination? Or, perhaps coolest of all, build your own Tivo-killer!

Kama Sutra: the final countdown

2006-02-02T04:46:00.000-08:00

Kama Sutra: the final countdown

gone were the days when kama sutra was for the humans to enrich their pleasure of sex, Now its for the computers .. for driving the humans nuts .. :)

The destructive Kama Sutra worm has begun thrashing files on infected machines with incorrectly set system clocks. Even though the worm is programmed to first delete files on infected machines on Friday (February 3), its deadline is based on the clock of infected Windows PCs.

The Kama Sutra worm (AKA Nyxem-D or Blackworm) first appeared on January 18, target="_blank"posing as a email message offering a variety of salacious content. Subject lines used in the malicious emails include: The Best Videoclip Ever, Fw: SeX.mpg, Miss Lebanon 2006 and Fuckin Kama Sutra pics. The worm only affects Windows PCs.

Windows users who fall for this ruse wind up with an infected machine and disabled security software. Worse still, Nyxem-D is also programmed to overwrite files on Friday February 3, and the third day of every month thereafter. The worm overwrites DOC, XLS, MDB, MDE, PPT, PPS, ZIP, RAR, PDF, PSD and DMP files on all mounted drives.

This old-school "trash your Windows PC" worm has infected an estimated 600,000 machines, with the US, India and Peru having the greatest number of infected machines, Security Focus reports. One US firm alone is responsible for around 75,000 infection hits, according to an analysis by security firm LURHQ.

Windows users are advised to run scans for infection using up-to-date anti-virus signatures. The worm attempts to disable most anti-virus products, so if you hit trouble on this score it's a good idea to either reinstall software or run web-based anti-virus scanners, such as Trend Microsoft's free House Call service. F-Secure, among other security vendors, has published a free disinfection tool (available here). ®

Five Things You Need to Know About Google AdSense

2006-01-31T07:38:00.000-08:00

Whether you're just starting out with AdSense or whether you've been using it for years, the success of your ads will depend on knowing five absolutely essential pieces of information about AdSense:

1. AdSense Can Make You A Huge Heap Of Cash Lots of people make the mistake of believing that AdSense is only good for bringing a site a few extra pennies a month. Wrong! AdSense can fund your lifestyle - if you get it right.

2. Junk Sites Get Junk Income But just because it's possible for a site to make a lot of money with AdSense, it doesn't mean that any site can make a lot of money with AdSense. Your site must have good content that can attract users on its own merit. There are a lot of different strategies available for producing good content for your site. You'll need to use them if you want to create the sort of site that makes real money.

3. Your Choice Of Ads Matter One of the first things that you'll have to do when you join AdSense is to pick the types of ads you want to display. Success relies on following certain principles that encourage users to click and persuades them that they've got a reason to do so. You'll need to know those principles.

4. You Can Influence The Ads You Receive! Here's a little known AdSense secret: you do have some control over the ads that get served on your site. That control isn't unlimited - but it is worth exercising. It's also a little complicated but it's got a lot do with keyword hotspots located in each Web page. That's definitely something you need to know!

5. Your Stats Are Your Best Friend The stats you get with your AdSense account might look complicated and well, a bit dull... but they're packed with useful information that can have a massive effect on your revenues. To make real money with AdSense, you need to know what your stats are telling, what they're not telling you and where you can find out more.

There's a lot you need to know to make serious money with AdSense. If you're missing that information, you're just throwing money away.

Microsoft admits security flaw in XP

2006-01-20T01:47:00.000-08:00

Microsoft has admitted that there is a security flaw in the way Windows handles wireless connections, but the company has said it may not fix the problem until its next Service Pack is released.

The flaw, within a Windows feature that automatically searches for a Wi-Fi network to connect to, was made public last Saturday by security researcher Mark Loveless at hacker conference ShmooCon. It can be used by a hacker to gain access to files on a victim's laptop, Loveless claimed.

Microsoft told ZDNet UK that it had finished investigating this claim, and had found that there is scope for users to be compromised. However, it does not plan to rush out a fix.

"Due to the design of this feature, the most appropriate method for adjusting the default behaviour is in a future Service Pack or update rollup," Microsoft said in a statement.

On Tuesday, Microsoft revealed that it was not planning to release the next Service Pack for XP, called XP SP3, until the second half of 2007.

Loveless told ShmooCon that when a PC running Windows XP or Windows 2000 boots up it will automatically try to connect to a wireless network. If the computer can't set up a wireless connection, it will establish an ad hoc connection to a local address. This is assigned with an IP address and Windows associates this address with the SSID of the last wireless network the PC connected to.

The machine will then broadcast this SSID, looking to connect with other computers in the immediate area. The danger arises if an attacker listens for computers that are broadcasting in this way, and creates a network connection of their own with that same SSID. This would allow the two machines to associate together, potentially giving the attacker access to files on the victim's PC.

Security experts said on Monday that users would be unlikely to be at risk if they had installed Service Pack 2 and enabled a local firewall.

Microsoft recommended on Wednesday that customers enable a firewall, get software updates, and install antivirus software. Customers who believe they may have been affected can contact Microsoft Product Support Services via its Web site.

Thinking in Java, 3rd ed. Revision 4.0

Thinking in Java is a comprehensive guide to the Java programming language, written by the Bruce Eckel . This is an amazing book, not only for its content but also its distribution. Bruce Eckel gives the entire text of his book in Adobe PDF format away from his website, without charging. The 'electronic' edition of this book is a companion to the print edition, which retails for a modest price considering the size of the book and the value of the content within.

How to AdSense

2006-01-19T06:11:00.000-08:00

Google's AdSense is a fascinating revenue-sharing opportunity for small, medium and large web sites.

Some webmasters are designing brand new sites specifically for serving AdSense text ads. (It's against the AdSense rules to design a site purely for AdSense, so you'll want to include a few affiliate links or sell your own product, too.)

Here's the background info:

AdSense allows you to serve text-based Google AdWords on your web site and receive a share of the pay-per-click payment. AdSense ads are similar to the AdWords ads you see on the right-hand side at Google when you do a search there.AdSense is having a huge impact on the affiliate marketing industry. Weak affiliate merchants will die faster than ever and big ad networks are going to lose customers fast.If you're a merchant running a lousy affiliate program, now's the time to improve it FAST.

AdSense's advantages

AdSense is simple to join.
It's easy to paste a bit of code into your pages.
It's free to join.
You don't have to spend time finding advertisers.
Google provides well written, highly relevant ads – chosen to closely match the content on your pages.
You don't have to waste time choosing different ads for different pages.
You don't have to mess around with different code for various affiliate programs.
You're free to concentrate on providing good content and Google does the work of finding the best ads for your pages from 100,000 AdWords advertisers.
It's suitable for beginners or marketing veterans.
AdSense provides simple, easy-to-understand stats.
If you have affiliate links on your site, you ARE allowed to add AdSense ads. However, with your affiliate links, you must not mimic the look and feel of the Google ads.
You can filter up to 200 URLs, so you can block ads for sites that don't meet your standards. You can also block strong competitors.

Inevitably, AdSense is competing strongly for space on web sites with all other revenue sharing opportunities.

If you own a small web site you can now plug a bit of code into your site and almost instantly relevant text ads that are likely to appeal to your visitors will appear on your pages.

If you own several sites, you need apply only once. This makes AdSense much simpler than joining a bunch of affiliate programs.As you can see, I'm really keen on this revenue sharing service.
