  • ISO's Day of Shame
    Does the fact this doesn't surprise me in the slightest make me jaded and cynical?
  • Perspectives : Firefox Extension
    This looks like a very smart solution to the self-signed certificate problem for web browsers. It is a much better compromise than the mess Mozilla has made in Firefox 3 and leads to fewer false alerts. As a consequence it is much less likely to desensitise users so that real security issues get ignored. I hope something like this becomes the default in Firefox.
  • Sun open-sources mobile Java UI toolkit
    The gradual process of getting all of the Java platform open source gradually moves on.
  • "Security is good, right?"
    Why context is everything.
  • JavaScript standards wrangle swings Microsoft's way
    I don't think we'd expect anything else from ECMA, would we?
  • Posted manually today, delicious has sadly been broken all week & Yahoo don't support this feature. Anyone suggest an alternative solution that doesn't involve control of a server?
