 | Call Me When I'm Done |
 When my husband and I marveled over his new Samsung 900 phone a few months back, it hadn’t occurred to me that the personalized ringer on this gadget wasn’t the only way I could hear my favored (and rejected) pick, the Mission Impossible theme.

Secret GC communications between our Geneva headquarters and North American operatives could soon be compromised if Swiss security company ERA IT Solutions' spyware wiretap actually works. Agents at the WHQ are advised not to click on free porn offers from The Swiss Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications.

| New Products: Million Max, move aside |
 Canadian Time now carries a 10 million candlepower [marketing-speak-rating] flashlight, only $59.99 this week. Online reviews rank it as being a great light for the money.
I looked at one on Saturday. It's a heavy sucker at about 12 lbs, but would certainly help out during late night caching expeditions. So would a Maxabeam, but they're $1,800 US, so of course only Mulder and Scully's employer can afford them.

| eBay Bans Navigation Aids! |
While investigating the purchase of a sextant, a navigation tool used for centuries to fix one's position on the earth using celestial objects, I was presented with the following terse message:
Dear User:
Unfortunately, access to this particular category or item has been blocked due to legal restrictions in your home country. Based on our discussions with concerned government agencies and eBay.ca community members, we have taken these steps to reduce the chance of inappropriate items being displayed. Regrettably, in some cases this policy may prevent users from accessing items that do not violate the law. At this time, we are working on less restrictive alternatives. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause you, and we hope you may find other items of interest on eBay.
Thank You.

| Samsung SCH-8500 Falls Victim to Brute Force Attack |
|
Having left my stalwart cell phone charger in San Francisco (but not my heart), I suffered 5 months with only the car charger. However, since I don't own a car, this caused significant phone downtime. So finally I gave in and started searching eBay for a new charger. I ended up winning an auction, paying $12.50 for another SCH-8500 plus charger and manual. The catch: the phone was locked and the seller had no idea what the code was!

I came across this rather interesting end user licence agreement today on another site.

| The al-manac: Verisign hasn't surrendered. |
Apparently Verisign hasn't shutdown Sitefinder permanently. They're going to fight for the right to innovate. Interestingly, the article mentions that there are some lawsuits being filed, including a "proposed class-action suit on behalf of a company that offered similar domain name redirection services as a Web browser add-on." I guess I'm too late to patent that idea.
I wonder if Microsoft has an opinion, since they could build the same service into their browser and not break DNS?
