Talk about awesome irony: Verizon accidentally included the private e-mail addresses of 1,200 IT professionals in a mass-mailed invitation for a seminar about protecting personal data. The communications company sent more than a dozen e-mails containing the addresses, according to technology professionals who contacted Network World. The messages touted a series of upcoming events, including one called “Secure the Information, Secure the Infrastructure,” and another called the “Data Breach Investigations Report Road Show.” The Verizon ...

A company recently sent me a DVD called Living Earth. It's a disc full of high-resolution pictures of spectacular nature scenes that you play as a slideshow. The idea is that you'd have it on while throwing a party, presumably to give your guests something to look at other than your crappy living room. After popping in the DVD and hitting play, I was horrified. Both sides of my widescreen flat-panel TV were completely black, ...

Some Apple retailers in the United States have been given price lists for a new Apple laptop line, and there’s a big surprise: an $800 laptop. The information comes from a source we would categorize as reliable, would have access to such information, and who has been accurate in the past. According to the source, Apple retail stores have been given price sheets that list 12 price points for the new range, with prices between ...

webikinoktasifir - Bu çözüm daha önce spam mailleri önlemek için düşünülmüştü fakat bence buradaki amaca hizmet etmesi daha güzel olmuş. Ama bence bu eklenti şöyle geliştirilebilir. Her sorunun arasında gönderdiğini mailden birkaç cümle yerleştirilebilir. Siz hesaplamaları yaparken arada yazdıklarınızı görürseniz matematik sorularını cevaplarken kullandığınız mantık bu cümlelere de mantıklı açıdan bakmanızı sağlayabilir.

I remember a time when I was 16 and I told a girl I loved her via email... but I was an idiot then. Point-in-case; I was using Hotmail. This doesn't really seem all that useful now that I'm not dating someone, and nor do I feel the urge to confess undying love to anyone.As a side note: if you always wished I would confess undying love for you, assume I have this enabled and do to unfortunate circumstances that email was never sent =P

There’s a common misconception that Google’s “next-gen” web platform called Gears only (or even primarily) enables offline capabilities for web applications. The truth of the matter is that Google’s ambitions are far greater, and the browser extension’s capabilities are more multifarious, than this reputation suggests. Gears has been available for over a year now, with the first version released not too far back in May 2007. You can see the whole version history here, but ...

Cast42 said:
Geolocation - For mobile devices that can determine the user’s current location, Gears makes this geolocation information available to applications running within the browser. The geolocation API can be used to identify the user’s position once or to watch it over time as the user moves around. Permission to access a user’s position must be granted through a special dialog, preventing unwanted snooping.
