  „Microsoft Portrait Features allow you to make video communications with others using PCs, Pocket PCs or Handheld PCs through almost any network at any low bandwidth. Even if you are behind a firewall, you can still transmit audio/video through an HTTP proxy that most firewalls provide.“

Crypto-Gram: October 15, 2002

  „The week it was released I got all sorts of calls from reporters asking me what I thought of the report, whether the recommendations made sense, and why certain things were omitted. My primary reaction was: "Who cares? It doesn't matter what the report says." For some reason, Richard Clarke continues to believe that he can increase cybersecurity in this country by asking nicely.“

A special sense of humour

  „I recently purchased a high-quality computer sleeve from a small boutique manufacturer. I was checking if it could be washed. The photo is the attached tag with the washing instructions in both English and French.“

Solution for comments spams

  „To cut the story short, I wrote a plugin to MT that will verify if it is a human before it allows comments to be posted. The idea is pretty simple: Display an image with a Security Code and demand the user to enter a Security Code manually before allowing posting to go through.“

Google's Gmail - An in-depth look

  „While it is not yet fit to be a substitute for client-based e-mail systems (Eudora, Outlook, etc.), nor does it yet have all the features of competing Webmail services, Gmail is blindingly fast, its ads are unobtrusive (often even informative and useful), and its label paradigm is promising. And of course, as one would expect, the search features are unparalled. If you're not keen on seeing text ads or you prefer a more drag-and-drop GUI environment AND you don't mind paying $30/year for a fabulous competing Webmail service, I urge you to check out OddPost.“

Got a Match?

  „We live in a sometimes bewilderingly complex world, --our everyday appliances have become quite sophisticated andcomplex to operate. There are many examples at home whichillustrate this -- microwave ovens, electronically controlledbread makers, coffee makers, VCRs, DVD players, television sets,automatic timers, security devices and burglar alarms, cellularphones and answering machines just to name a few. Each devicecomes with its own confusing array of buttons and lights thatmake you run for the user manual each time you wish to changea setting or two.“
