The Mitre Corp has produced the 2010 CWE / SANS Top 25 Most Dangerous Programming Errors which identifies the most commonly encountered coding errors that can potentially lead to web sites being hacked or PCs being compromised. Some of the errors are well-publicised in the technical press, e.g. "cross-site scripting"; some are downright stupid, e.g. "use of hard-coded credentials" and others

A local case is making the news here, and I suspect, will hit the bigger news feeds soon. A fight outside a bar in November, 2008, is at the center of the case. An off-duty, and now fired, police officer is being prosecuted for a shooting that happened during that fight. And the police officer's lawyer wants to see what
Nuance Software, makers of Dragon Naturally Speaking for the PC and the iPhone, has purchased MacSpeech. MacSpeech was voted Best of Show at MacWorld 2008, but that's not saying a whole lot, because there just aren't any other products like it for the Mac. But then again, there really isn't any other product like Dragon Naturally Speaking, either. One thing

AT&T loves their double-speak and "we know what's best for everyone" attitude. Whenever they get the chance, they trot out that same old tired argument about how they must have control over network traffic in order to "manage" it. We all know who they are "managing" it for, and we all know that "management" will not have benefits for the

In the past it took care of defragmentation after it occurred today the product is designed to defragment real time and prevent defragmentation before it happens.

Once you have everything set up then the flow of informations comes in. Actually depending on who you follow the flow can become a flood, which is another thing that people don't like. Fortunately most people who receive a lot of complaints about the influx of their post in to Google Buzz, will adjust the flow by removing the site from their connected sites. Hopefully Google will soon have a way to create groups and better filters. Right now if I don't want to read someone twitter post, I have to block them entirely, there is no way to block just their twitter post. The third biggest complaint is the fact you can't collapse comments. This especially becomes a problem when a post has multiple comments, for example the recent TWIG conversation had over 500 comments. Being able to collapse comments is a must addition, that hopefully Google is working on. You actually can collapse comments on the mobile version, so it shouldn't be that hard to implement. The fourth problem is the lack of documentation on how to do things. Fortunately a lot of how to post and videos are now being written and uploaded, but Google should have written some up front.
By now, most of you have probably heard about the backlash against Google regarding some of the pre-sets on their new Buzz social networking push. What sounded like a little fun turned out to be a nightmare of privacy violations and sharing of information without permission. What concerns me is that no one at Google had any idea that people
