A Grisoft desenvolvedora do popular antivírus AVG adotou uma prática que eles entenderam como genial, mas a coisa é bastante absurda e sem sentido na prática. Fonte: Além da Imaginação por Willian Caprino Enquanto você faz uma pesquisa em sites de buscas como Google, Yahoo ou Windows Live, uma função chamada LinkScanner sorrateiramente visita todos os links listados buscando por "links maliciosos". Tudo isso como se fosse você, inclusive com seu IP. O Tecnoblog dá ...

The Twitter whale gets famous (seen through TechCrunch). Download twitterjokes.comicdoc

You can’t NOT work on your personal brand. You have got one and you can never escape from it. It is “who you are” to the world. It is “your promise to the marketplace” and you are making one - whether you want it or not. Now, the real question is “how powerful is your personal brand?” This is something that is in your control. You can make a difference there by investing in yourself. ...

A pergunta do título anda intrigando muita gente no Reino Unido. Isso porque pessoas sem face, usando o que parece ser algum tipo de máscara, apareceram em diversos locais movimentados nos últimos dias. No torneio de tênis em Wimbledon, em uma liquidação da Harrods e em sessões de estréia nos cinemas, as misteriosas figuras estiveram presentes. Praticamente o tempo todo sem se movimentar, essas pessoas tem chamado atenção da mídia, que cogitou ser uma campanha ...

É SÉRIO! A imagem acima é de um cartão-postal criado pela polícia da região escocesa de Tayside para comunicar seu novo número de telefone (eu sei, também lembrei deste comercial do IT Crowd). O cachorrinho se chama Rebelde, está em treinamento, é imensamente popular entre as crianças e até aumentou o número de visitas ao site da polícia. O Rebelde tem até um blog, com uma foto que fará qualquer um que não seja um ...

It turns out the reports of XP's death may be slightly exaggerated. Sure, the obits have been posted and the requiems are being sung. The fat lady has already packed up her girdle and gone home with a bucket of KFC. Yet it seems XP -- like Bill Gates -- is still alive and kicking, at least in some form. One day after XP's "demise", Dell SMB manager Jenni Doane posts a blog entry that ...

An easy way to increase Twitter's signal-to-noise ratio is to follow less people. I'm sure you've heard of Twitter users who follow several thousand twitterers. How they keep up with that many micro-blogs is beyond me. Unfortunately, spammers have discovered that to increase their "following", they simply follow thousands of other users, a small percentage whom will politely start following them. Granted, number of followers is not as informative as the number of conversations a ...

Interesting, this is probably why I don’t try to do news reporting anymore. I was briefed a few days ago on the Adobe/Google news, but already it’s being discussed on hundreds of blogs. There is no longer much value in being first. So off I go today to hang out at HP’s Labs to get you some intimate looks into one of the world’s biggest companies. But I digress. Don’t miss this news. It’s significant ...

Well well well, this was quite a surprised – I first saw it on Twitter from Simon Bisson and then found more details on Brand Republic. It’s an interesting move and it’ll be even more interesting to see how they differentiate themselves form the US edition. For the last 2 years that has really been back on track for me after an interlude in the early 2000’s where they had a worrying affair with biotech. ...

Dogster is one of those Web 2.0 businesses that isn’t Web 2.0. For instance, they are making money. I interviewed Dogster.com’s founder, Ted Rheingold, to find out why and to hear how he’ll expand his business. Hint, dogs are just the start.

Theo Schlossnagle, author of Scalable Internet Architectures, gave a great explanation of how internet traffic spikes are shifting: Lately, I see more sudden eyeballs and what used to be an established trend seems to fall into a more chaotic pattern that is the aggregate of different spike signatures around a smooth curve. This graph is from two consecutive days where we have a beautiful comparison of a relatively uneventful day followed by long-exposure spike (nytimes.com) ...

I fell in love with email in 1983. I was a computer-savvy educator and children’s librarian teaching teachers about the new technologies available to them. Email came into my life, offering immediate gratification: no stamp, no trip to the post office, no phone tag, no long messages. Questions were answered quickly. Personal exchanges often felt as intimate as a written letter or a phone call, but were immediate and more frequent. Years later, in 1990, ...

Case closed. A judge in the Facebook code theft case said F-U to ConnectU yesterday, telling the plaintiffs that they made their settlement with Zuckerberg and now they have to lie in it. The Winklevosses are now free to row in the Olympics, while plucky Zucky cements his reputation in the pantheon of high tech d**ks. When spoiled rich kids sue each other for gazillions of dollars, it's really hard to develop a rooting interest. ...

My mom emailed this to me with a warning: If you see this cloud in the sky when you walk out the door to go to work, turn around and go back to bed. It’s going to be a bad day.

When I walked into the Speaker of the House’s press room and saw a staff member (Jesse Lee, Senior New Media Advisor for Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi) typing a blog into WordPress, I knew the world had changed (I remarked that I knew that Matt Mullenweg, founder of Automattic which makes WordPress, was a smart guy from the first time I met him). That’s Jesse on this post typing into his WordPress-run blog. When I was ...

In case you've been living in a cave, today marks the first day of the Apple Worldwide Developer's Conference and Steve Jobs' keynote, which Apple watchers have declared will be the venue where Jobs unveils iPhone 2.0 -- a 3G broadband, GPS-enabled model of the Jesus Phone -- along with some groovy third-party iPhone apps. And if he doesn't, well, we'll hear the caterwauling of Apple fanboys from Cupertino to Khartoum. I don't think I ...
