to help beginners with grasping the problems facing them while trying to utilize SQL Injection techniques, to successfully utilize them, and to protect themselves from such attacks.

Extending on of the revealing tinyurl greasemonkey script, I've written 'Reveal Snipurl' for links hidden by snipurl, and uploaded at greasemonkey repository.

I'm just into using Google Notebook, and this is almost what I needed and wrote about a month ago.

Capability to highlight portions of a webpage, and then if I bookmark it, and later reopen the page, previously marked portions are highlighted again. This will be a great tool for serious web research!

This is so much more than del.icio.us in spite of lack of tagging.

[Update]- Google Notebook 'should' have been much more than del.icio.us, but its breaking far too often. Right now none of my saved notes are accessible/visible. It's beta, it's free, but still! I expected better. Back to del.icio.us for now.

Dave Winer on 'is Web2.0 a bubble' -

Don’t we all know that web advertising is a scam?

Really?

Totally awesome Greasemonkey script for Firefox - 'Tin Foil Hat' reveals tinyurl in a tooltip.

From an article in NYTimes on a patent application filed by Philips in USPTO-

James Boyle, a law professor at Duke University, said that broadcasters offer a program knowing that only a fraction of the audience watches the commercials. Advertisers, he added, buy nothing more than "an option on a probability," and the viewer is no more obligated to watch every commercial than a driver is obligated to read every billboard.

I'm no Mac user, neither much of an Apple fan. You need to be rich enough to be that. Yet I like all the 'cool'ness surrounding Apple. I use iTunes on Windows and love it, and I use QuickTime (free version of course) and hate it for highjacking my system-tray.

I'm a fan of Apple ads nonetheless (I've almost a gig of those). The latest ones on Apple's Get a Mac page

are great, incredibly irreverent and cleverly produced

as Dave Winer says. Just that you would need QuickTime 7 to play these videos because of the latest H.264 codec, and no updates of old QuickTime would work (You bet, I tried :-)).
