Spotify Apps
Couldn’t find a good place to find the popular none standard Spotify apps, so I build a quick mockup in 5 minutes. I discovered that there are lots of apps I’d not heard of. I will make it pretty tomorrow, I have music to listen to.

Bol.com Hacked by Housewife
Bol.com, a European online retailer, had a leak which exposed the details of 84000 people. The leak was discovered by the organisation of Hacker Housewives at the beginning of this year, and probably due to responsable disclosure agreements was not made public until this last week.  |

6 Months of Security Links #2011
I’m a regular curator of daily links, and like to give overviews of my collection of curated links and posts. This is partly as there are some good sources and articles in here and as I am working on a research project which I started based on a number of books I read.
I’m sure you’ll find something interesting in the items below – there are some gems in the list – and I dare to hazard the guess you might learn something you wanted to know. 
A catalog of this year’s risky articles #2010
Risk is something which can be difficult to evaluate for the average person, there is a lot of work which goes in to learning not to do the two things that people usually do when they are confronted with risk:
- Ignore
- Overreact

Microsoft Office Installer woes #fix #installer
For the last couple of months my copy of Microsoft Office 2003 had become corrupted, naturally the OEM vendor’s solution was to use the disk provided and just overwrite the whole installation. This machine is my primary machine and although I don’t use Office very often, preferring Google Docs, I do use it.
FireFox Hacks For Flash #hacks
It always annoys me that when I arrive at a page I get the message:
Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page.
I don’t want to run Adobe’s Flash in my current context, I would actually prefer to not run it at all. Even Microsoft agrees that Don’t blame us, blame the browser add-ons.
Eric Lawrence Security Program Manager on Microsoft’s Internet Explorer team argued on a Black Hat webcast about Clickjacking that Microsoft is not to blame. [...] “One of the things we’ve seen in the last two years is that attackers aren’t even going after the browser itself anymore. The browser is becoming a harder target and there are many more browsers,” Lawrence said. “So attackers are targeting add-ons.”
So how did I disable the stupid warning? In FireFox’s about:config I changed the plugins.hide_infobar_for_missing_plugin entry from false to true, now I decide when I see a legoblock whether I want that to work or not.
plugins.hide_infobar_for_missing_plugin true
