US-CERT recommended that all anonymous FTP write access be disabled, and Microsoft announced that it is investigating the matter and will decide how to go from there once said investigation has concluded.

Way to jump all over it, Microsoft.

“Listen is a research Android app providing a personalized audio news-magazine loaded with fresh and interesting content whenever it is turned on. Start with directed search and streaming and then sit back or multi-task and Listen to content matching your favorite programs and queries like “ABC Nightline,” “Bernanke,” and “Fantasy Baseball.” Currently we are indexing audio files from thousands of English-only RSS feeds but we plan to index all web audio, talking head videos, and short personalized text-to-speech segments in the future.

From the website: “For example, using the Firefox Vanish plugin, a user can create an email, a Google Doc document, a Facebook message, or a blog comment — specifying that the document or message should “vanish” in 8 hours. Before that 8-hour timeout expires, anyone who has access to the data can read it; however after that timer expires, nobody can read that web content — not the user, not Google, not Facebook, not a hacker who breaks into the cloud service, and not even someone who obtains a warrant for that data. That data — regardless of where stored or archived prior to the timeout — simply self-destructs and becomes permanently unreadable.”

Sounds interestingly cool but I can already see a hole in this theory. Copy/Paste. In general you should never put anything on the web that you are not prepared to come back and bite you in the rumpus. I am the worst at doing this myself, but do as I say…you know the rest.

This does look to be a good step in the right direction as far as online security goes. Hopefully this is one of the first steps in creating a large movement in data protection in the cloud.

Tweetdeck (our unabashedly favorite twitter client) has rolled out some cool new features.

First off let’s talk about the iPhone app. Supposedly it comes out this today at 9P.M. PST. I’m waiting to see what comes of that rumor. But I hope that it’s true. Besides the basic twitter functionality of sending and receiving tweets on your iPhone you’ll be able to:

• Manage multiple Twitter accounts.
• Use columns to create your personal dashboard.
• Simply sync to set-up
• Continuously updates between your desktop and iPhone.
• Create Groups to easily follow all your friends.
• Follow topics in real-time with saved searches.
• Share photos with Twitpic and YFrog.
• Shorten links with your favorite URL shortener.
• Shake your iPhone to refresh columns.

Here’s some pics from the iPhone app.

The biggest and coolest thing about the changes rolled out from tweetdeck is the sync feature. You will be able to sync all of your computers and your iPhone to handle the same account setup and even column groupings. So if you make a change to your groups on your desktop they are reflected on the iPhone and vice versa.

The desktop version of Tweetdeck also has some cool changes. It too can handle multiple accounts now. I just posted the same post from 2 seperate accounts at the exact same time. Makes it easy, almost too easy, for people who are interested in twitter marketing (spam). You can preview a shortened URL before you go jumping into some pornographic den of iniquity or to a spam page full of nasty malware.

And of course since Tweedeck runs on Adobe Air, it can run on Linux, Mac and Windows. Score one for Adobe on that BTW. As Soon as I get the iPhone version I will post some pics here. Head on over and check it out. TWEETDECK

Not only has both companies agreed to pay settlement monies, but they both now send electronic notices before and after posting a charge to a consumers account. They also allow for refunds for up to 60 days after a charge is made.

From the original article. “The Attorney General’s office began an investigation into the two companies after receiving complaints that customers were being charged for renewal subscriptions without their consent.”

It will tell you the logged on user, OS, MAC, ping time and of course host name. You can drill down into the host and see what hidden shares it is using plus what services it is running.
