I'm expecting Chrome/Google to patch this vulnerability before Adobe does.

I love his videos. I wish he would make more. The harddrive one was interesting.
missing_cipher··on Poll: Would you like a "Panic button" service to lock down your online accounts?
I would prefer a listing of associated accounts in case I forget one. But then again, that's another potential vulnerability...
missing_cipher··on Show HN: Entire concerts algorithmically "reconstructed" from YouTube videos
There's something along those lines in the works, I don't see a name: http://grail.cs.washington.edu/projects/videoenhancement/

It combines a few high-resolution still images with a low-res video to improve the video quality:

Static scene: http://vimeo.com/1513129 Dynamic: http://vimeo.com/2937785

(Looks a bit old (3 years) so I don't know if it's still in development)

missing_cipher··on Facebook settles with FTC, under privacy watch for 20 years
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quis_custodiet_ipsos_custodes%3...

"Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? is a Latin phrase traditionally attributed to the Roman poet Juvenal from his Satires (Satire VI, lines 347–8), which is literally translated as "Who will guard the guards themselves?" Also sometimes rendered as "Who watches the watchmen?""

missing_cipher··on Microsoft says Windows Phones have had Siri-like functionality for over a year
I'm still rocking an HTC Viva (originally Windows Mobile 6), now running a modded ROM with Windows Mobile 6.5, a Metro-like UI and overclocked from 200MHZ to ~270MHZ. Heh. :)
missing_cipher··on Flash is dead. Long live the internet.
Far from dead. Only Flash on mobile is being discontinued, the larger, stronger, desktop market won't be discontinued.
missing_cipher··on Redesigning the country selector
Something that always bothers me about "Select redesigns" is that scrolling does not work like it should. If you move your mouse outside of the div/whatever, it'll scroll the page instead of the select. A regular select will keep scrolling until it reaches the end, then it'll scroll the page.

I believe it's this one: http://www.chromeexperiments.com/detail/webgl-aquarium/?f=we...

missing_cipher··on XXX TLD Officially Open
For that to be effective, any and all pornographic content in every other TLD will have to be banned. I don't see that happening...
missing_cipher··on Netflix launches in Brazil, rest of Latin America to follow shortly.
This is great news for Argentina!

Our TV providers are pretty much Telecentro and Cablevisión, we need more competition. Hopefully Netflix will be able to shake up the market.

Not sure how our current Internet infrastructure will hold-up, though. Maybe Netflix will help push for more investment in the area. :)

missing_cipher··on Lessons from Argentina's Crazy Economy
This is a very good point, entrepreneurs have a lot to loose and history has taught them to be wary of the Argentinian government. Can't say I blame them. I suppose it's up to the government to "show" them that they can be "trusted" again.
missing_cipher··on Lessons from Argentina's Crazy Economy
A big problem is the lack of regulation, IMO. That owner who is doing things "en negro" hurts the rest of the country and should be fined accordingly. Since no one takes a big step forward to stop it, people see their colleges do it and the trend continues.

Inflation is also pretty bad, but I don't think it falls completely on the shoulder of the Government. Some items are simply overpriced. I'm not talking between a big store and a simple corner store, I mean between two big chains you can see price differences of 50% or more sometimes. Again, taking advantage of the lack of regulation.

And we don't all see the U.S. as THE economic model, far from it.
