Google Buzz Widget – A jQuery Plugin.

Well jQuery features made my eyes open! Wow! It is so simple yet powerful, you could edit the DOM – Document Object Model ‘anytime’ after the loading so easily. and the effects, widgets, themes, all of it makes Web Development a child’s play! So I started playing with it too.  I’m currently renewing my personal website to this ‘Feature-Rich’ environment.

I wanted my website to be creative yet simple. I didn’t wanted it to be a bloggy-style one. So I started checking out for my other options, suddenly I got this idea, why not Vista? I am using one. Why can’t I give my site a ‘Vista Compatible’ mode? So I started working with the ‘Vista Project’. I named it ’WowVista’ please don’t ask me why I can’t answer that, “Trade Secret” ;P

I hope it gives you a Vista look and feel. Enjoy!

Charlie Miller, the hacker who discovered a hole in the new Apple Safari in ten seconds in the Pwn2Own contest, can now take complete control of an iPhone by merely sending a text message. And no, you don’t even have to open it!

Once taken control, the hacker can exploit the hole to make calls, steal data, send text messages, and do basically anything that the user can do with his iPhone. Miller and his partner Colin Mulliner demonstrated this scary scenario to CNET writer Elinor Mills at the Black Hat Security Conference on July 29, 2009. The two are professional researchers with a security firm and are just showing Apple the many security loopholes in their device.

CNET’s Elinor Mills described how it happened: “While I was talking on the phone to Charlie Miller, his partner, Collin Mulliner, sent me a text message from his phone. One minute I’m talking to Miller and the next minute my phone is dead, and this time it’s not AT&T’s fault. After a few seconds it came back to life, but I was not able to make or receive calls until I rebooted.”

The attack is enabled by a serious memory corruption bug in the way the iPhone handles SMS messages, said Miller, a senior security researcher at ISE – Independent Security Evaluators. There is no patch, despite the fact that Apple was notified of the problem about six weeks ago, he said. All current versions of the iPhone operating system are affected.

Asked what an iPhone user can do when attacked, Miller replied: “Rebooting wouldn’t be a bad idea. It would stop all but the most sophisticated attacker. However, it doesn’t take but a second to grab all your personal info from the device, and as soon as you turn it back on, the bad guy could attack you again. That’s why I think this is so serious.“

So if you have an iPhone in your pocket.. be alert!

BARELY a tweet is heard from most Twitter members despite the soaring popularity of the micro-blogging service, according to a pair of freshly-released reports..

Web analytics firm HubSpot found that nearly 55 per cent of 4.5 million Twitter members monitored have never “tweeted” — fired off concise text messages to others using the micro-blogging service.

More than half of Twitter members have no followers and about 55 per cent of them aren’t following anyone else’s micro-messages, according to a “State of the Twittersphere” report by HubSpot.

Meanwhile, a study by Harvard Business School researchers concluded that 10 per cent of Twitter members account for 90 per cent of tweets.

“A typical Twitter user contributes very rarely,” Harvard MBA student Bill Heil and assistant professor Mikolaj Piskorski said in a university blog post containing the findings.

“Among Twitter users, the median number of lifetime tweets per user is one.”

Those that do tweet tend to do so during traditional US work hours, with messaging dipping on weekends, according to HubSpot.

Common phrases used in tweets indicate the San Francisco startup’s service is most popular in cities where the dominant language is English, said HubSpot, which noted that Twitter continued to grow at “an astounding” rate.

Twitter has been adding millions of users a month and its website received 32.1 million unique visitors in April, according to tracking firm comScore.

Twitter, which allows members to exchange 140-character-or less messages, can be used on computers, mobile telephones, and now on television sets using a newly-announced online link to Microsoft Xbox 360 videogame consoles.

Actually Microsoft first tried its fortune in search engine market by introducing live.com Even though it made some attractions it was not upto people’s expectations. Then they started searching for things people need today from a search engine. So they came to a new term – search decision engines. BING actually makes decisions by reading the user’s minds.    Well it works some how.  So here we are now we have to accept Microsoft’s awesome work.

Anyway its gonna make it tough for Google and Yahoo. Their dominance in the search engine field will drop a considerable percentage. Well what ever happens Google will lead the market with its simplicity in their stuff, am not saying this because of the fact that am a big fan of Google

Some videos about BING for you:
