Twitter Ad Sign-Ups

With the recent actions of goolgle prioritizing Google+ results over more relative Twiiter and facebook results. Twitter was rumored to be starting an internal search engine . I guess this is one more step towards it . this self-serve model may go live in march.

Download Histories deleted

On the wake of the seizure of rnbxclusive site by SOCA , many similar sites have deleted their download histories . SOCA refused to revel the methods used to accuse the website but it is clear that they have also broken the rules by using Trojans. SOCA readily admits that the scare message it showed visitors to the taken-down site was written 'with input from industry.'

US Gov scaring web business out of US .

Just what I thought when Megaupload was seized on copyright infringement. Us government is shutting down websites without any prior notice . even though it was a mistake by the government , people are beginning to think that US is not safe for startups.

Today's sysadmin todo list:

0. Get corporate membership with EFF.

1. Identify all applications with user-generated content.

2. Move all associated domains to a non-US based registrar.

3. Migrate DNS, web serving and other critical services to non-US based servers.

4. Migrate yourself to a non-US controlled country.

Ethical Hacker Jailed

Glenn Mangham of UK was jailed for 8 months for misusing computer. His crime was he found a security vulnerability in facebook . Even though he did this in past with yahoo and they have rewarded him with $7000 , he was hoping a similar situation but now he ended up in jail . Facebook spent $200,000 (£126,400) dealing with Mangham's crime, which triggered a "concerted, time-consuming and costly investigation" by the FBI and British law enforcement.

I don't consider him as a hacker at all. It's all due to the media hype . He recently launched a book on how to access blocked websites . most of which we know proxy sites, typing IP instead of name..blah,blah,blah.
 
I wonder if ankit fadia showes up in some conference/meeting of people from TE,
<


we would beat the shit outta him.
 
just curious - why are so many up against this Ankit Fadia? has anyone of you worked/saw his book??

Now, I am not his relative/friend etc etc - so, don't flame me! But I did observe that he is one who normally pops on the telly each time they talk about [sic]ethical hacking...
 
forget Fadia,there are many other so called hackers who conduct workshops.every NIT/IIT fest ive been to has a ethical hacking workshop conducted with some oh so great hacker who comes and wows the audience for a handsome fee.how do they run the show?and each hacker claims himself to be India's best and rubbishes the others,like he's the real deal and all are fake.
 
The only good thing Fadia does is, coming to colleges to hold shitty seminars with the reliance dudes handing pamphlets for his courses. Well I get some lectures off
