Good news, it works. Bad news, it works.

Bad awakening for Mac users, Apple
fixed a bug.
andy-scared
It took almost 2 years for Apple to release a security fix so that
it’s not anymore possible to hijack the builtin or even the
external USB camera from within a webpage.
At least everyone believed that this issue has been fixed in the
security update 2006-008, and people became already sad about
missing the feature to preview realtime effects on local video like
on this page: (only works for Mac people.)

But there’s also good news. It still works.

Oh wait, or is it bad news ?

Anyway the good news is, that the bad news of a killed feature is
not true, and that the security fix works, as your realtime video
cannot be sent via ajax/javascript or a java applet to someone you
don’t even know by just accessing someone’s evil website.

How do we check that ?
Apple doesn’t say anything about it.

So the real good news is, enjoy the feature as long as you’re not
sitting naked in front of your mac. Winking

Oh, uhh, aehh did I mention the bad news is, we don’t know if its
really fixed, or apple became so much interested in your homevideos
that they patched something in your system to get much sharper
pictures of you than anyone else does. Winking

The magic table

Seen on a podcast, this table is used
on a Yacht, must be pretty expensive, but the technology is simply
great.
Never seen something like it before.


Who wants to bet with me on how many fingers got lost when changing
the size of the table ?

And the loosers are: web.de-users, again

I just don’t understand why people are
so happy with their web.de freemail accounts.One should read the forums about web.de, especially the parts where
they should pay a monthly fee for clicking on a banner to create a
premium account, although they haven’t seen any banner or button. A
few days later they get snail mail from a lawyer to pay a
surcharge, and so on….

People suffering from this should immediately contact the consumer
advice center, because they already know this case and handle the
case with you.

Now these days, another big surprise came up by web.de:
If you’re using Voice over IP via web.de, you will not be able to
continue, and further you’ll loose your assigned telephone number,
cause web.de decided to stop offering VoIP.

But I’m sure they will make a great offer for xmas where you can
have 2MB extra space on your freemail account….

Fuck web.de.
