About that Amazon Password Security Flaw…….

A post on Reddit a few days ago pointed out the security flaw on Amazon.com account. Since then the story was picked up by numbers of sites such as Wired.

Based on the posting on Reddit, changing the Amazon.com account password should fix the issue.

update5: changing the password clears this problem.

I have personally verified the fix/workaround. You should change your Amazon.com password now.

It is a pretty easy fix the customers can do but it would be much better if Amazon fix this on their server. I do not know how many customers Amazon has but I assume in high millions.

Dear Intel, what the hell are you thinking?

Intel teams hires will.i.am of Black Eyed Peas fame as “director of creative innovation.”

I am not a corporate-minded person so I would never understand why Intel would do so.

Why will.i.am of Black Eyed Peas?

  • Carlos Mencia is not available.
  • Kanye West is too expensive.
  • Kid Rock is too busy hanging out with strippers.
  • (insert remarks here)

I posted this because:

  • I am running out of ideas of what to write today.
  • I am actually sick with a cold.
  • There are other news, but it takes a lot of time to write about and this one is too easy.
  • Two of the above.

Back to bed.

Apple Store Goes Offline, White iPhone 4 Rumor Goes Wild.

UPDATE:
Apple Store is back online, and I win the bet. Take that MacRumors and 9to5Mac!

Screen Recording of the Apple site during the update.

Apple Store goes offline and some Apple-centric sites are speculating that the White iPhone 4 is coming.

One thing that I know for sure is that Apple Webmasters are uploading new designs to the site including a few new CSS files. There’s a lot of animations on Apple site now. For example, the main page has the top navigation bar animated when the page load in Safari.

I bet there will be no White iPhone 4 added to the store. Should I lose the bet, I’d buy the White iPhone 4 sans the contract.
