Web API's: Having fun with Google API



Today we'll talk about using Web API's such as one from Google (there are also others such as Amazon, eBay, PayPal, FedEx and more but we'll talk about them later).

I'll post the stuff at the end of the day :-)

PS: Something came up, so we might have to wait.

    Hi Tarry,

    Have you read about the feature AJAX used by google's gmail which dynamically update parts of a website without reloading the whole page.

    Cheers

    Absolutely, and it rocks! Infact AJAX is clearing up a lot of crap which all the cumbersome frameworks couldn't provide(in terms of speed). Just heard on slashdot (yesterday) that IBM is also giving some of the code to firefox. That will totally rock the IE out of it's chair! :-)

    I will also explore AJAX very soon on the blog.

    BTW: I wanted to respond to a post on your modblog but your "verification" image does not load. I suggest that you ditch modblog, it's neat interface but it needs some robust guys behind it :-) and blogspot has certainly lots of good guys.

    Ach je moet ff wachten. Gisteren kwamen we achter dat onze vriend(die huid kanker had) niet gaat het redden.
    Behoorlijk heftig voor ons allemaal, vooral voor onze vriendin en de kinderen.

    Hi Tarry,

    I know there are some problems with modblog but I think I'll stick around for some more time. Best part I liked about modblog is that the administrator keeps the members updated about what all problems are going on and when they will get fixed.

    And I feel shifting around too much will make me loose my credibility ;)

    PS: As for the verification code its working as I received a coment today . I'm not sure why you got this problem.

    Cheers
    Amar

Security: VMware Workstation 6 vulnerability

vulnerable software: VMware Workstation 6.0 for Windows, possible some other VMware products as well type of vulnerability: DoS, potential privilege escalation I found a vulnerability in VMware Workstation 6.0 which allows an unprivileged user in the host OS to crash the system and potentially run arbitrary code with kernel privileges. The issue is in the vmstor-60 driver, which is supposed to mount VMware images within the host OS. When sending the IOCTL code FsSetVoleInformation with subcode FsSetFileInformation with a large buffer and underreporting its size to at max 1024 bytes, it will underrun and potentially execute arbitrary code.

OS Virtualization comparison: Parallels' Virtuozzo vs the rest

Virtuozzo's main differentiators versus hypervisors center on overhead, virtualization flexibility, administration and cost. Virtuozzo requires significantly less overhead than hypervisor solutions, generally in the range of 1% to 5% compared with 7% to 25% for most hypervisors, leaving more of the system available to run user workloads. Customers can also virtualize a wider range of applications using Virtuozzo, including transactional databases, which often suffer from performance problems when used with hypervisors. On the administration side, customers need to manage, maintain and secure just a single OS instance, while the hypervisor model requires customers to manage many OS instances. Of course, the hypervisor vendors have worked hard to automate much of this process, but it still requires more effort to manage and maintain multiple operating systems than a single instance. Finally, OS virtualization with Virtuozzo has a lower list price than the leading hypervisor for comme...
