By Mark O’NeillAfter some heavy petting on IRC and finally a first date to the Apple store, you strike lucky and make it back to her place. Nervously declining the offer of coffee, you proceed to the bedroom area to plug your solution into her equation.Off come the jeans and just when you think you’ve struck the jackpot…..What, you don’t know the password?

Yahoo! CAPTCHA Cracked
via [Geeks Are Sexy] Technology News by PatB on January 30, 2008
... Webzine here,Let there be no mistake: the CAPTCHA that Yahoo! deploys is believed one of the most difficult CAPTCHA’s to crack. It utilizes bended alpha numeric characters and other features you might expect from a strong CAPTCHA, and still it’s easy to solve by humans. I think this is a great leap in character recognition and the death punch to the CAPTCHAThe hacker said that only a 1...

Color code your Windows Explorer folders
via [Geeks Are Sexy] Technology News by Mark O'Neill on February 08, 2008
By Mark O’NeillDespite my best efforts, my Windows Explorer folders are sometimes a bit of a mess. Files tend to get scattered around like confetti at a wedding while countless folders containing an assortment of finished work, half-finished work and random musings are all mixed together in one big jumble. My folders are so disorganised that Google Desktop took one look at it and instantly...

World’s First Digital Camera
via [Geeks Are Sexy] Technology News by Kiltak on May 08, 2008
Ahhhhh the 70’s… the decade where the first Star Wars movie was released, where afro haircuts where all the rage, and where the first digital camera came into existence. Yep, you read that right! In 1975, Kodak released the world’s first digital camera, a clunky-looking device that used casette tapes as the medium to store pictures. Each photo took 23 seconds to snap, producing a 100-line...

Google Earth lets you feel the need for speed!
via [Geeks Are Sexy] Technology News by Mark O'Neill on January 21, 2008
By Mark O’NeillThe hidden flight simulator in Google Earth is not a new feature. But I had to delay trying it out as my computer last year was as fast as a constipated rabbit. However I now have a new computer so with the soundtrack of Top Gun playing in my head, I decided to go all Tom Cruise and Anthony Edwards and feel the need for speed.After trying it out, I have to say this is one...

Internet circa 1996
via [Geeks Are Sexy] Technology News by Ilya Kochanov on January 28, 2008
By Ilya KochanovContributor, [GAS]As early as 10 years ago the web was a terribly unproductive place to be. Animated GIFs were all the rage and HTML ruled supreme. Forget about funny cat videos or managing your calendar online. Blogging? Shopping? Material of questionable origins? No, no, and unfortunately not.Web 2.0 is a common buzz-word for sites which provide cool services; but do you...

Anonymous Versus the Church of Scientology
via [Geeks Are Sexy] Technology News by PatB on January 28, 2008
In the past, I have been a vocal critic of the Church of Scientology. Like many of you, I saw the video of Tom Cruise, wide-eyed and cackling, talking about how only Scientologists know what to do when they pass a car wreck. It made me pray to God that, should I actually be involved in a real car wreck, to please prevent any Scientologist whackos from slapping an e-meter on me. God should...

Lesson number one - don’t piss off the gamers
via [Geeks Are Sexy] Technology News by Mark O'Neill on January 29, 2008
By Mark O’NeillI have never really got into the whole gaming thing. Despite giving it my best shot more than once, I have often found PC / console games to have a very limited attention span for me. Once I’ve shot one person, the thrill kind of wears off and I suddenly want to surf the internet. I had a Gamecube for 3 weeks and then never used it again.But I know enough gamers (my...
