Many, many, many things happen
Written by Zealus on January 30, 2007 – 11:11 pm -While everybody and their grandmothers write about Vista release - I’ll write of other important things. First - there is this totally geeky thing that I would love receive from somebody. I cannot even reiterate how much I would love to see it on my table.
Another thing was this absolutely hilarious video. I can’t stop laughing and it took me around 5 attempts to just finish watching the damn thing.
While you’re on YouTube, watch this - it’s nowhere near funny, but actually is a very good prototype of the “next-gen” interface. I’d love to see it implemented when I’ll be buying my next ThinkPad.
Maybe I’m getting my hopes too high in terms of schedule availability, but I plan to attend one-day start-up school.
We’ll have a range of experts speaking on all the things you need to know to start a company: what makes a good startup idea and where to get them; what to look for in a co-founder; how to get angel and VC funding; how to incorporate a company and what agreements founders should have among themselves; when and how to apply for patents; what can go wrong in a startup; what acquirers look for; and how the acquisition process works.
Loved this presentation. You will, too, if you haven’t seen it before.
And just before this post was out - found this interview with Lee Dodd, forum owner, who
once famously posted a check in excess of $220k for 3 months of earnings
Stay tuned.

Security through ignorance?
Written by Zealus on January 26, 2007 – 4:46 pm -It’s nice to see that a list of passwords hasn’t changed much since 1997.
Common Passwords: The top 20 passwords are (in order):password1, abc123, myspace1, password, blink182, qwerty1, fuckyou, 123abc, baseball1, football1, 123456, soccer, monkey1, liverpool1, princess1, jordan23, slipknot1, superman1, iloveyou1 and monkey
Although as I recall, top 3 admin passwords back then were password, god and superadmin.

HD DVD & Blue-Ray DVD encryption bypassed
Written by Zealus on January 25, 2007 – 3:54 pm -A virtual interview with muslix64, who created a proof-of-concept program that bypasses encryption on both formats.
This passage is especially good:
I’m just an upset customer. My efforts can be called “fair use enforcement”!
