			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>In case you missed it, starting yesterday, <a class="zem_slink" title="Google" rel="homepage" href="http://google.com">Google</a>&#8217;s home screen doodle is a full fledged <a class="zem_slink" title="Pac-Man" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pac-Man">PacMan</a> game:</p>

	<p><a href="http://geek.co.il/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/google-pacman.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1527" title="google-pacman" src="http://geek.co.il/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/google-pacman.png" alt="Google's PacMan Doodle" width="726" height="369" /></a></p>

	<p>What is interesting (to me anyway), is that the game is full encoded using HTML and <a class="zem_slink" title="JavaScript" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript">Javascript</a> &#8211; each ghost or pacman and also all the dots are graphics assigned using CSS to HTML DIV elements, which are moved on the screen using Javascript (<a href="http://www.google.com/logos/js/pacman10-hp.3.js">source code is here</a> at the moment &#8211; it is minified but its not hard to figure out what is going on).<br />
<h4>[Update:]</h4><br />
As per the schedule, the pac-man game was removed after about 48 hours.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>I&#8217;ve listened to <a href="http://twit.tv/sn">&#8220;Security Now&#8221;, TWiT&#8217;s &#8220;security&#8221; oriented podcast</a>, which is hosted by Steve Gibson who is apparently a big internet security guru &#8211; so says the website. If the title doesn&#8217;t make it very clear why I quoted &#8220;security&#8221; above, then here is the scoop from <a href="http://twit.tv/sn222">Security Now episode 222</a> (starting at 14:50):<br />
<blockquote>The latest Java Runtime Edition, in the latest version, has multiple vulnerabilities and no updates available. It acknowledged multiple problems. There is enough disclosed for exploits to be created on the net. <strong><em>Unfortunately, the only workaround is the workaround we all know to well &#8211; which is to disable <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Javascript</span></em><em> to prevent the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Java Runtime Edition</span></em><em> components from being exploited until Sun updates themselves</em></strong>.</blockquote><br />
<span id="more-1241"></span></p>

	<p>[The emphasis is mine]</p>

	<p>Well, obviously the guy is a security expert and not a programming expert so its OK that he doesn&#8217;t know that Java has nothing to do with Javascript and disabling Javascript will not affect the Java plugin. No, wait, what?</p>

	<p>I&#8217;ve heard from several others that Security Now sucks (I think also on the <a href="http://linuxoutlaws.com/">Linux Outlaws podcast</a>, which is a great podcast) but I decided to give it a try anyway and it completely failed. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m going to ever manage to hear the rest after that announcement.</p>

	<p>Up until that item, they just talked about some &#8220;security patches&#8221; to MS-Windows applications, which has about as much relation to internet security as telling someone that is worried that people will break into his home to plant some bushes behind his picket fence &#8211; i.e. not much except in lay-people&#8217;s minds.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>אתמול יצא לי לראות תוכנית אוכל בריטית בשם <a href="http://www.locatetv.com/tv/full-on-food/77603">Full-On Food</a> ושני הבריטים (המשוגעים על צ&#8217;יפס) הדגימו את מתכון הצ&#8217;יפס הכי מסובך שראיתי בחיים &#8211; מעבר לטיגון הכפול (שכבר כמעט נחשב סטנדרטי) היה להם בישול במים עם חציר חרוך, והלהיט &#8211; הזרקת קטשופ לתוך הצ&#8217;יפס לאחר שהוא מוכן.</p>

	<p>הרעיון האחרון די גאוני (אם נתעלם לרגע שאני לא ממש אוהב קטשופ על הצ&#8217;יפס שלי) אז יצאתי לחפש על זה מידע באינטרנט &#8211; יש לציין שלפי כמות התוצאות הרלוונטיות בגוגל, זה לא רעיון מוכר במיוחד, אבל כן הצלחתי למצוא את פטנט אמריקאי <a href="http://www.google.com/patents?vid=USPAT7478656">747856: Methods and apparatuses for dispensing condiments</a> של אדם בשם Scott E. Brient שאין עליו הרבה מידע באינטרנט אבל נראה שהוא עורך דין לפטנטים ולא באמת ממציא ולכן לא סביר שנראה מכונה כזאת בזמן הקרוב.</p>

	<p>הדבר השני, והמבריק יותר שמצאתי הוא התיאור של הרעיון באתר <a href="http://highdeas.com/food/ketchup_injected_fries">highDEAS.com</a>. המאמר עצמו לא מרחיב כלום מעבר לרעיון עליו כבר דיברנו, אבל האתר עצמו גאוני ומגדיר את עצמו כאתר רעיונות &#8220;‪for the best ideas (when you&#8217;re high)‬&#8221; <img src='http://geek.co.il/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  . יש שם הרבה רעיונות &#8220;גאוניים&#8221;, כמו <a href="http://highdeas.com/food/Digital_Build_Your_Own_Sushi_Menu">מסעדה עם תפריט בניית סושי &#8211; לרמת בחירת המרכיבים של הרול</a> או <a href="http://highdeas.com/music/Iron_Chef_but_for_Beats">Iron Chef למוזיקה</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>A long time ago I subscribed to some (legitimate) web site and ever since I&#8217;ve been getting some weekly or so newsletters from them with third part offers. Recently the rate of these newsletters have increased to sometimes two a day at which point I&#8217;ve decided to take them up on the offer to opt-out of their mailings.</p>

	<p>It was a simple thing really &#8211; click the clearly marked &#8220;opt-out link&#8221; at the top of the email, and I get directed to a web page with a clear &#8220;Confirm Opt-Out&#8221; button. It doesn&#8217;t get much better then that, until the confirmation page that made me do double take (or in my case, &#8220;K, thanks, <close tab>. eh, what was that?! <undo close tab>&#8221;):</p>

	<a href="http://geek.co.il/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/length-opt-out.png"><img src="http://geek.co.il/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/length-opt-out.png" alt="Lengthy opt-out" title="length-opt-out" width="742" height="365" class="size-full wp-image-1142" /></a>

	<p>Why, oh mighty lords of the internet, does it take 10 days to process an electronic confirmation? Reminds me of that joke about filing the form in cabinet, letting it age for a week before pulling it out for processing.</undo></close></p>
