Opera not so safe after all

2 Comments / security, software / By

Opera is a browser that I have often mentioned whenever vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer has been published (which happens a lot more often than I comment on it, but thats a digression). But all was not good in the paradise of the Opera browser I found out today. The Register writes: vulnerability in Opera 6.01 and 6.02 for Windows allows a malicious Web site to grab any file off a client’s local drive with ease, GreyMagic Software has discovered. That’s the bad news. The good news is that affects only […]

I’ll let him tell you about it himself: i ran out of time this weekend to finish up a new project. basically, i’ve embedded a gps as well as stand-alone application systems in a hiking stick (uses macromedia flash and windowsmedia). the total cost of the unit is really cheap and at some point i might see about mass producing these. when i get back i’ll post screenshots from the application. imagine hiking and

Should the Macromedian bloggers better label themselfs?

weblogs / By

Paul Andrews article in The Seattle Times titled Web logging can serve many roles raises the question about the integrity of the Macromedian bloggers, while trying to take the issue a step further, he focuses on the lack of labeling of the Macromedia weblogs. Macromedia’s bloggers want to have it both ways. They don’t want to be seen as shills. At the same time, they are loath to bite the hand that feeds them. As one Macromedia manager told me, he would never criticize the company or tout a competitor’s

Samuel become the new Frankenstein of Flash?

Funny to see a project that I was contemplating myself be realized. Samuel Wan is apparently having fun with Lego. Samuel has posted some info on his struggle to connect the wires to get his creation to come alive and talk with ColdFusion and Flash. Samuel has really been good at blogging his project. From the initial “Phase 3: Hello World…?” to shouting loud and clear “It’s ALIVE!!! MUAHAHAHAHA!” and then documenting some of the resources he found on the journey “Resources for designing a LEJOS remote-control protocol” Its well

Illogicz.com is Stuart Schoneveld’s Flash weblog. I haven’t counted all the Flash related blogs lately, but its getting to be a lot of them. Its powered by Blogger, and lacks a RSS feed :-( But it does show some other RSS feeds, among them the feed we have at Flashmagazine.com, which is cool :-) I discovered this one in a discussion that Mike Chambers has opened to collect information about all the Flash blogs out there, I suspect he will have a the complete list of Flash blogs ready soon.
