- The Pirate Bay finds a new home
- LiveJournal makes some layout changes.
- The Register went all out, it would seem:
- Google produced three as well:
- Google announces free in-home wireless broadband service
We’re actively developing a higher-performance version of TiSP specifically tailored to small and medium-sized businesses, including 24-hour, on-site technical support in the event of backup problems, brownouts and data wipes.
- Introducing Gmail Paper
- Google Gulp - Quench your thirst for knowledge
- Google announces free in-home wireless broadband service
- Art. Lebedev presents the Vilcus plug dactyloadapter
- This NewScientist article seems a bit suspicious too.
Eloquent language has never been the strong point of academic papers, so it’s somewhat ironic that some scientists are lifting clever turns of phrase and even whole paragraphs from other published papers in a bid to sound more articulate.
- Maria Sharapova is a Cisco Certified Specialist. This one uses a XSS (cross-site scripting) security vulnerability on the Cisco website to fool you into thinking that Cisco really announced this. Nice way to draw attention to such things.
Saw any good ones out there today?
Updated: Added another one from The Register, and one from SecurityLab.
I think that, perennially, my favorite is everyone who doesn’t engage in this idiocy. The vast majority of people writing for websites are unaware that repeating a joke that’s been used previously on half of the websites that ever existed is the opposite of humor, and have done this so many times that they’ve revoked all joke-related privileges. And I’m…uh…not completely in favor of practical jokes in general.
I wasn’t too impressed with the ones from The Register, myself. The one from SecurityLab was the most interesting, I thought, because of that extra angle they had.

Not bad! I see it at least partially as a nudge about social engineering and how it is sad and amazing how much you can accomplish with it, without ever touching a company’s or person’s hardware/software!
