The Chronicles of…

Dark Side of Google

Deset najvećih Google razočaranja. Istina, Google je još uvijek najveći kad se sve zbroji ali svaka njihova beta kerefeka zauvijek ostaje u beta fazi dok drugi (malo fokusiraniji) grabe dalje. Nekako se čini da fora sa besplatnim tj. oglasima financiranim stvarima baš i ne ide kako su to zamislili Sergej i onaj drugi dok su se vozili svojim aviončićem…

Anyway…

10) Gmail
It doesn’t get better than beta – nor should you expect it to.

9) Monetizing YouTube
Who knew talking cats and psychotic rants would be so unprofitable?

8) Google App Engine
Built to last crash.

7) Gphone
To be released on or around Christmas 2040.

6) Knol
Being an "author" never looked so effortless.

5) Lively
If this is lively we much prefer the alternative.

4) OpenSocial & Friend Connect
Opening up the Web to more unwanted Google penetration.

3) Google’s Partnership With NASA
The "liftoff" part is so overrated.

2) Orkut
An exciting social arena for the boring and/or invisible.

1) Google’s Culture & Hypocrisy
"Don’t be evil… That’s our job."

 

Kao da ih ne vole baš previše, onak, po defaultu. :-)


LinkedIn Hack Demonstrates Ease of Impersonation
Researchers channel Marcus Ranum on popular social network, duping security icon’s friends, family, and colleagues

AUGUST 12, 2008 | LAS VEGAS — Black Hat USA and DefCon 16 — A pair of researchers successfully impersonated security icon Marcus Ranum on the social networking site LinkedIn recently, even fooling Ranum’s sister into “friending” the phony Ranum profile.

The exercise, which researchers Shawn Moyer and Nathan Hamiel demonstrated here at both hacker conferences last week, was to show just how easy it really is to impersonate someone on a social networking site. The lack of authentication and validation of social networking personae, as well as a culture of often-blind trust, was the perfect recipe for a case of an online phony identity, according to Moyer and Hamiel, who showed off this and other simple hacks on popular social networking sites in their "Satan is On My Friends List: Attacking Social Networks" presentation.
