Flock Developer Preview : The New Brave Browser!



Ok people so I had applied for this beta testing and as you see I just got this email from these folks. I quickly ran it on my OS. The guys are honest enough to warn you NOT to import any settings from your existing browsers. It's OK to import IE settings...you have to lose that browser someday. :-)

Anyways here we go...Check out the pics here!!!

Go get it!






Love this blog editor!




Options pane (If you noticed, it has the Web services tab too)



Neat and Groovy tab too ;)




go to the site and see for yourself!

So my quick and dirty opinion
  • It's colorful
  • It's got a neat Blog editor
  • Added tabs/options pane
  • Sharing your favorites is a *new* thing to me and they say ...
    Wondering what it's all about? Sharing your favorite web pages (a.k.a. bookmarks) is convenient and fun. You keep your list of Favorites on a web service, where you can access them from any computer with a network connection. Others can look at your lists and learn from them, and you can in turn learn from people whose lists you find interesting.


    So see for yourself, it sure is worth a try!

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.

Splunk that!

Saw this advert on Slashdot and went on to look for it and found the tour pretty neat to look at. Check out the demo too! So why would I need it? WHY NOT? I'd say. As an organization grows , new services, new data comes by, new logs start accumulating on the servers and it becomes increasingly difficult to look at all those logs, leave alone that you'd have time to read them and who cares about analysis as the time to look for those log files already makes your day, isn't it? Well a solution like this is a cool option to have your sysadmins/operators look at ONE PLACE and thus you don't have your administrators lurking around in your physical servers and *accidentally* messing up things there. Go ahead and give it a shot by downloading it and testing it. I'll give it a shot myself! Ok so I went ahead and installed it. Do this... [root@tarrydev Software]# ./splunk-Server-1.0.1-linux-installer.bin to install and this (if you screw up) [root@tarrydev Software]# /op

Virtualization is hot and sexy!

If this does not convince you to virtualize, believe me, nothing will :-) As you will hear these gorgeous women mention VMware, Akkori, Pano Logic, Microsoft and VKernel. They forgot to mention rackspace ;-) virtualization girl video I'm convinced, aren't you? Check out their site as well!
