Sometimes you read something that you just have to share, not only share but archive…

Thirteen-year-old tries to steal a Steam account
Monday, October 30th, 2006Holiday
Friday, July 28th, 2006Finished school, waiting for my exam results. That pretty much sums up the academic front most things. My parents went on holiday for the last week of term and are due back on tomorrow. It for the most part has been a fairly uneventful couple of weeks, Nat stayed over in the second week for a handful of days, we had fun trying to cook a few different things and it was interesting living with my GF for almost a week. It kinda opened my eyes to a little.
Other news, I stumbled upon pennradio.com which is by the same guy who stars in Penn & Teller: Bullshit, he chats on about different things, I’ll be sticking it on my ipod for a laugh at least.

Microsoft claim Google Spreadsheets is so 10 Years Ago
Wednesday, June 7th, 2006“The innovations we’re delivering in Excel in terms of new usability, new visual user interface advancements, support for collaboration and business intelligence with things like Excel Services are so far beyond [Google Spreadsheets] that it’s like watching a time machine from 10 years ago.”
It sounds like Microsoft is going back on the offensive, they allways have had a problem with most Google products, with Microsoft trying to be more internet orientated latly with the release of it’s ‘live’ products, google still seems to beat them hands down. It will be interesting to see the outcome in the next few years, Google’s tools are usally much better, but Microsoft is the brand people know (and hate) and can advertise in Windows.
Myspace the truth is out…
Sunday, April 23rd, 2006I was trying to do my homework, some of the work I’ve got left over from not doing very much over the half term, when someone throws a link to this article on digg this is something I’m quite glad I decided to look up from my work for. An article on:
Why MySpace is a waste of humanity
Using the power of Google searches, it’s possible to prove why Myspace.com is a failure of humanity and swamp of degenerate youth. A depressing study of a hilarious problem.
Edit: Oh also between homework I stumbled on this link | digg story
Super glue vs Keyloggers
Saturday, April 22nd, 2006Anyone who spends a lot of time on computers and uses passwords should know the danger of key-loggers, from people who play web games to people who use online banking should be aware of the danger of having people log passwords. I’m still not sure if Bede’s actually does key-log, but I’m pretty sure places like public libraries do, and if not purposely someone will have installed one somewhere along the line. I was just reading a few news articles on my /ig homepage when I found a little article on key-loggers and a famous bank attempt. The article starts like this…
This wonderful little gadget is for sale over at Thinkgeek. It is coloured an innocuous IBM grey so no one will notice when you attach it to their keyboard. It fits between the back of the PC and the keyboard cable. It needs no power and it can record 130,000 keystrokes.
