MERRY CHRISTMAS

Do you have the Christmas Spirit? If you have any doubts, you can take the test over at Guardian.co.uk.

Art imitates life:
In keeping up with things poetic, here's The Mayfly Project - a modest update on the American Haiku.

Looplabs - online mixing
Make your own beat mix! This blows Absolut DJ out of the water. Too-cool example of what you can do when you really understand a medium. An intriguing and complex toy. Click on the question mark in the lower left corner, if you need help.

The year that was:

"For the first time in the history of the net, "sex" falls out of the Top 10 search terms during the days following the attacks. "

From Shift - Year in Review

In "New Sexual Stone Age" Shift charts a noticeable trend in music and pop culture.

OH, That's Tech-y

If you thought "IT" was interesting, then maybe you'd like a Megway. It's a revolution in uh, transportation (?!) Everybody ought to have a Megway...

Huh?
I thought the whole point of the web was, well, linking. KPMG seems to have a different philosophy.

From Shift.com:
A little history: Chris Raettig linked to KPMG. Then they sent him an email saying he's not allowed to link to them unless he gets their permission, as per their Web Link Policy. Now people all over the web are randomly linking to KPMG. I'd like to say poor bastards, but if that old saying "any press is good press" is true, then it's their marketing dept's dream.
Spammity-spam, spammity-spam, spam, spam, spam...

"But David," you say, "surely you're mistaken. The 105th U.S. Congress passed the all-important bill S.1618. Title lll, Section 301 Paragraph (a)(2)(C) of this bill says that spam isn't spam if it includes a removal mechanism." Sorry folks. The law never passed.

OOPS... Hey, at least they fixed it...

Microsoft released a security patch to plug a hole in its Web browser that could allow hackers to steal passwords and trick people into downloading virulent files. Microsoft said customers using Internet Explorer versions 5.5 and 6.0 should install the patch immediately. The patch, released Thursday, can be found on Microsoft's Web site.

"Opening an e-mail attachment or accepting any download isn't required," Pynnonen said. "The victim user doesn't necessarily notice anything out of ordinary when reading a malicious e-mail message or visiting a malicious Web site."...

Plug 'n Prey -

"This is a serious vulnerability. People running Windows XP need to put the patch on right away," said Scott Culp, manager of Microsoft's Security Response Center.... "With most cable modem users, there's a physical wire that feeds an entire neighborhood, and someone from that wire could attack anyone without needing to know the IP address," he said. "The attacker can take control of the PC and have access to all the files. They might as well be sitting in front of the keyboard."...

Although describing the flaws as "the worst default security vulnerability in Windows ever," Maiffret credited the company for working quickly and intelligently to stem possible damage....

Speaking of Security Holes...
The FBI has a magic lantern... I wonder what comes out when you rub it?!

The enemy within?

Although many laboratories possess the Ames strain of anthrax involved in this fall's bioterrorist attacks, only five laboratories so far have been found to have spores with perfect genetic matches to those in the Senate letters, the scientists said. And all those labs can trace back their samples to a single U.S. military source: the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Disease (USAMRIID) at Fort Detrick, Md....

While the CIA has had small amounts of Ames strain anthrax in its labs to "compare and contrast with other strains," a spokesman said, the agency did not "grow, create or produce the Ames strain." The anthrax contained in the letters under investigation "absolutely did not" come from CIA labs, the spokesman said....

Well, looks like we can't blame Saddam Hussein for growing the stuff.
