I think bringing attention to common practices putting people in jeopardy is a good thing, because it’s likely website operators and the general public don’t think about these risk…

After a Minnesota lawyer reported his neighbor for allegedly sexually assaulting his son, that neighbor cracked the lawyer's wi-fi WEP encryption and proceeded to attempt to frame …

My house was blurred many years ago and I wish it wasn't. It almost draws more attention when you look at Street View, which is probably contrary to privacy interests. I've also ha…

For travel, I'm happy with the Peak Design 45L Travel Backpack. It's optimized for photographers, with separate packing cubes that clip into the bag. https://www.peakdesign.com/pro…

I'm excited about this (and all things Sketch-related), but I thought this was a product release from the makers of Sketch until I saw the disclaimer at the bottom. $39 seems fair,…

Here are some random observations and opinions. 1. The screenshot at the top of the page seems to show some features, but I have to infer what they are. It would be good to automat…

This is a fresh OS X install on a test machine :/

The author used `tcpdump -i lo0 -s 65535 -w info.pcap` which, as a non-root user without sudo, successfully captures loopback traffic in OS X 10.11.3. I just tried it, and with Chr…

Don't be so quick to dismiss this one. This is notable for several reasons, including (1) it wasn't his mistake, but rather that of a Visual Studio bug not following his instructio…

I love this concept, and it is sorely needed. I read in your Medium post[1] that “Data is wiped from the phone as soon as it’s securely moved to the Witness servers.” I'm curious w…

There's another strong reason not to trust Evernote: nothing is encrypted at rest on your system or their servers, unless you manually go encrypt selected text in a specific note i…

While it's honorable to want to keep things on a handshake-and-honor level, when things go wrong, none of that matters. In my experience, clients are impressed and more comfortable…

Author here. If you let me know some sources for the above, I'd love to add them. Contact info in profile. Thanks!

HTTP Shamer here. I absolutely practice 'responsible disclosure' when it is appropriate. In the case of TripIt, they've known about this issue for a VERY LONG TIME and chose not to…

The two main typefaces are Knockout and Gotham, both being fonts from Hoefler & Co. — formerly Hoefler & Frere-Jones (H&FJ), until Jonathan Hoefler allegedly never gave Tobias Frer…

That was published by Microsoft before the case was unsealed, so that one has been known for awhile, nothing new. http://www.noticeoflawsuit.com/

The existence of the case has been unsealed, so here's the latest docket: http://ia902509.us.archive.org/20/items/gov.uscourts.nvd.101... Looks like there was a stipulation filed o…

> "...which did that because there was no communication from No-IP ... The court ordered No-IP to send a response and looks like there was no response." That's absolutely false. Mi…

That's not true. On June 19, Microsoft filed the Complaint, Motion to Seal, and Ex Parte TRO Application all at the same time. The TRO actually says: “...good cause and the interes…

I hate pay-walls and even login-walls, so I genuinely disagree with Scribd's payment model. However, I do think the service provides value in that users are able to upload a PDF an…

I actually appreciate the humor, but I'm in the same boat where there's a good portion I'm just not wrapping my head around clearly. I'd love if someone made an annotated version w…

I wish they were more transparent about the components used for the site, specifically for licensing purposes. Example: The demo site uses Proxima Nova, which is loaded via Typekit…

So is Snapchat just big enough and hot enough that investors will ignore due diligence red flags? In any other startup, I feel like a year of litigation over an founder's equity st…

Without getting on a soapbox about how the criminal justice system only guarantees repeat customers... I'd definitely retain a lawyer to pursue expungement, but I'd ask them about …

Yeah, there's almost no way to tell the difference between certain letters if you're at a comfortable distance from the screen.
