Would be nice to have more "pure play" music stations, less talk radio and (please) more choices for commuter time slots than the banal "morning show" blather.

Good to see more books that talk about mitigation. Hacking books are great fun and insightful but they are often not as practical for admins.

I don't believe this kind of reaction can be solely attributed to socialism. It's endemic among "entitlement" oriented individuals. But the real failure here has little to do with what is fair. The thinking here is badly flawed at many levels.

That's explained in the 1st line of the post:

"If you are fond of double-clicking the Title bar of a window to minimize"

If you are not fond of double-clicking the title bar, then you probably weren't looking for the UI change from Lion to Mountain Lion.

You might want to read another article at this site - http://securityskeptic.typepad.com/the-security-skeptic/2009... - it describes the documentation you should keep to prove the domain is yours in case it's hijacked. I imagine some of the same information would be useful.

Also, I hope you don't really mena "key to passwords" in the literal sense:-)

Thanks for the article, I've queued it.

As for the key to passwords:

1. I lose my domain.

2. Email continues to trickle in to the domain thief, addressed to me.

3. Thief gleans various web sites and businesses that I have a relationship with.

4. Thief begins to ask for password resets all over town.

4a. My bank sends email that a bill has been paid. Thief gets to work guessing my security question, or just calls the bank and talks his way into my account. I am sometimes amazed just how easy it is to get my bank to talk to me about my account over the phone, no doubt because they don't want to piss me off.

I can't decide if this is sad, deplorable, or scary.

> I can't decide if this is sad, deplorable, or scary.

That's a false trichotomy. It's perfectly possible for it to be all three of these, and I'd say this is a fitting example of that.

Agreed. I considered delving deeper into this but it just turned into a "those evil lobbyists!" rant that no one hear needed to read.

Seriously? Cloud operators are so desperate to attract customers they are playing the "green" card? Clouds are data centers. They heavily virtualize but no one else can? Show me you can secure my data, restore it quickly for me, migrate it to another operator quickly, track where my data are at rest and stop telling me nonsense.

All you have to do is read the description of trending to see how people will try to game Twitter:

"Twitter's Trending Topics algorithm identifies topics that are immediately popular, rather than topics that have been popular for a while or on a daily basis, to help people discover the "most breaking" news stories from across the world."

If you want to up your followers, toss a profanity in every tweet. It's that simple.

Favorites here are:

"Advanced Persistent Threat -> Alarming people thoroughly"

"There is nothing that would make the anti-virus companies happier than mobile malware to bring their performance degrading, signature-based shakedown business to a smart phone near you."

"Twitter is the worlds largest manifestation of Skinners operant conditioning chamber with compulsive tweeting behavior driven by semi-random retweets & responses."

and :-)

"The biggest risk from the cloud is moisture"

I don't know what else a company can say than we choose to comply with court orders rather than face the consequence of not complying. The comment about bypassing censorship doesn't seem to have any value other than to placate users of the service.
