The day (e:samathon86) and I revisited the IE clipboard insecurity site I made five years ago. Many IE users are still 100% vulnerable to this stupid exploit and it seems like no one cares. I bet a huge percentage of all IE users are. Basically, it lets a website read your clipboard in Internet Explorer if you don't have your setting set properly. The interesting part is that it allows the site to continue to read it in the background.

In fact I found it to be so extreme as to read the host OS clipboard while IE was running in a VM.

You can use the site to test your browser's vulnerability and turn it off. You are totally safe if you are using a browser besides IE, although I am wondering if flash presents a similar risk. I might check it out more this week.

The Getty in Kenmore had a gas sale for customers who pay cash.

My chinese coworker says he is bringing in chinese squash soup. At first I figured it was just a name for the type of soup but with squash I would recognize so I asked him for some pictures from this site

They are both squashed I have never seen. I makes me wonder what else is out there. He said he didn't know english names for them.

I really hope Apple doesn't go with this new vertical icon placement for the whole OS. It is so ugly and frustrating. It seems especially stupid when it doesn't match the rest of the OS.

Below you can see the difference between safari and itunes.

Well this answers the question I wasn't sure about. Was my vmware image of snow leopard only working because I was previously running fedora on a macbook pro? The answer appears to be no and holy crap it is fast now. Here we have Snow Leopard in Fedora on Dell. Don't worry I bought an actual copy of snow leopard for this.



The fact that both that and the windows VMs both boot up in about 1-5 seconds makes testing web stuff in every OS a snap. This is especially important now that the resolution on my screen is 150dpi.
