Tab Phishing
Be careful: This is one clever attack vector.
As Mozilla Firefox creative lead Aza Raskin describes it, the attack is as elegant as it is simple: A user has multiple tabs open, and surfs to a site that uses special javacript code to silently alter the contents of a tabbed page along with the information displayed [...]

Google Likes Speed
In a world with increasing technology, there is little doubt that time is of the essence. Apparently, Google agrees with this thought, as the search engine giant has decided to factor website speeds into search rankings.
The decision has been at least a few months in the making, as Google hinted at the possibility of using website speeds to determine search engine placement back near the end of 2009. It is a sure bet now, however, as they just announced that speed will be added to the overall equation.

Something to Learn From Spammers
First things first: We hate spam. And we hate spammers. Maybe even more than you do.
So this article isn’t about endorsing spam in any way, or suggesting that you do anything unethical.
But as much as we hate spam and wish it didn’t exist, we can’t deny one fact.
Spammers make a killing online.
Just to give you an idea, last year a Russian investigation found a network of spammers selling fake goods and fake pills online. Each spammer was making, on average, $4,600 per day.
Sure, the spammers use the “law of large numbers” to achieve these results. But you also need marketing savvy to make more than $1.5 million a year selling fake stuff to people who would rather shoot themselves in the left foot than listen to you.
When I started looking more closely at their tactics, I found some valuable lessons any marketer should know.

Why the New Bill Means I Won’t be Buying Health Insurance
All you suckers who are actually paying for insurance before you need it (you know, the way insurance is suppose to work) will be in effect paying my catastrophic risk premium.
