Firefox spoof demonstration

Very cool XUL Spoof… great for phishing! It’s been possible to do this for the last 5 years, only now has mozilla and firefox become accepted enough so that someone might actually try to do this.

CBS News | Teen Injured At Jackson Ranch | July 30, 2004 16:35:56

Stop what you’re doing and check out what is making headlines!!!

A 15-year-old boy riding an all-terrain vehicle at Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch was injured when the vehicle flipped, a Jackson attorney said Friday.

The boy “is just fine, no broken bones, no internal injuries, he’s doing just fine,” Oxman said.

In other news, Annie fell on the pavement yesterday and skinned her knee. If any international journalists are interested in the story they can pop over for dinner, and I can tell you all the details.

So the “Bomb Threat” that caused the American Airlines pilot turn his plane around and dump his feul was a sick bag with the words “BOB” written on it.

Everyone knows that “BOB” means Bomb On Board!!!

Macworld UK – Google worm attack confirmed

In about an hour and a half last night I got over 150 of these emails. Some of them were better than others… they would be funny if you didn’t think of the poor people who actually fell for it and opened the email.

They actaully have proper English which makes them almost believeable.

The full email message follows (email adderss obscured for obvious reasons). Included was a file called wormus.com.zip.

Technote 31 – The Dogcow

I wish I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard this question–by now I’d have enough money to buy a “Changing the world, one person at a time” bumper sticker. Dogcows, by their nature, are not all dog, nor are they all cow, but they are a special genetic hybrid. They are rarely seen in the wild. Since dogcows are two dimensional, they will stand facing a viewer “on edge” to avoid being seen.

It seems a bit quick to be from the last post (google could have come by today) but emilyrichards.com now has the top spot in google. It certainly didn’t at the time of my last blog article!

Best of Emily Richards – Volume 1 Details

I don’t know why I’m getting Linspire’s “Click and Run” weekly update newsletters, but I usually go through them and see if there is anything cool that I can find a Windows port of.

For the first time, I noticed that they had music in the CNR “warehouse”. I’ve never heard of Emily Richards (and apparantly google hasn’t either). But according to Linspire she’s “one of the most downloaded pop/rock independent artists.”.

I wonder if Michael Robinson is using his old MP3.com connections. OK, just below there is an explaination.

Los Angeles based recording artists *Emily Richards* is one of the top Independent artists in the world. Emily had the distinction of being the most downloaded pop/rock artists on MP3.com, with more song plays than even the major label artists such as Madonna, Dido and No Doubt.

Oh, and there is a website for Emily Richards. The reason why google doesn’t know anything about her is because the website is a big Flash monstrosity… frightening stuff!

Anyway, let’s hope that Emily Richards (link for google’s sake) gets a bit out of this deal.

Update: I went to the and tried to email the webmaster with some SEO suggestions, but nothing worked, error messages (frontpage extentions yuk). Oh, well… if anyone reads this (it will soon be right underneath Linspire when searching for “Emily Richards” in google) drop me a note

Boston.com / News / World / Middle East / Three Americans on trial in Kabul

A strangely funny article… Black ops? or just crackpots?

Afghan national security court, the men listened quietly to the charges, which included hostage-taking and ”mental and physical torture.”

Bush said the United States will continue to look into whether Iran was involved. “As to direct connections with Sept. 11, we’re digging into the facts to determine if there was one.”

A lot of good that’ll do.
