- Safari AutoFill hack can give up personal info – July 22, 2010
-
“Basically, a maliciously crafted Web form can cycle through letters and numbers in each text entry field until it triggers Safari’s auto-fill functionality. The form can then be automatically submitted to the hacker so the information can be be sold to spammers and otherwise exploited.”
So yeah, maybe best to disable Safari’s AutoFill Using info from my Address Book option.

Great bit of instruction for something that shouldn’t be so complicated. Maybe it will be easier with iPhone OS 4?

“Perhaps Adobe should focus more on creating great HTML5 tools for the future, and less on criticizing Apple for leaving the past behind.”

Kind of amazing to think they stuck around. I guess as long as people were buying them it made sense to keep making drives. For comparison, Apple stopped shipping floppy drives in the iMac in about 1998. That was considered controversial at the time, which seems kind of ridiculous now.

A collection of signs seen at Tea Party rotests. It’s funny for the first few images and then quickly becomes sad and frustrating.

- Cory Doctorow, You Are a Consumer, Too – April 2, 2010

Great response to Cory Doctorow’s post railing against the iPad. There’s a certain nerd sentiment I’m feeling (more or less) that the iPad is BAD because it will change things, make us dumb, and possible destroy society as we know it. That’s called being conservative. Nothing wrong about it, just be honest. And don’t act like you’re the only person who know’s what’s going on.

Shaun Inman’s iPhone game homage to Mario Brother’s. Check out the video. I like what he’s done with the controls. The game uses the entire screen for left|right|up|down etc. I think this will be a UI pattern that will really catch on for iPhone games if the implementation is as good as it looks.
