The word "Bom Sabado" means "Good Saturday" in Portuguese, which is the also the official language of Brazil, one of the last remaining Orkut bastions in the world.

The worm seems to be posting scraps with content "Bom Sabado" and it also include adding affected  users to new Orkut groups.

Such XSS attack is not new to orkut and it has been done past too.

A new Twitter security flaw has been widely exploited on thousands of Twitter accounts, redirecting users to third-party websites without their consent.

The bug is particularly nasty because it works on mouseover only, meaning pop-ups and third-party websites can open even if you just move your mouse over the offending link.

The flaw uses a JavaScript function called onMouseOver which creates an event when the mouse is passed over a chunk of text. We’ve seen the flaw being abused to launch simple pop-up windows, redirect users elsewhere (including porn sites), and we’ve also seen it used in combination with blocks of color, covering the true “intention” of the tweet.

I clicked on try and what I saw after that was just fantastic, Gmail rightly classified my mails and gave me an option to make changes to it. Once I was done it took me to priority inbox and I was amazed to see the way mails were arranged. Everything was neatly arranged in three sections important unread, starred and others.

In others section important conversations were marked as “this conversation contains an important message that is archived.”

At the bottom there were two icons – and plus to make email’s important & not important.

Over all I am impressed by this feature and ability to classify mail, just loved it.

As per the twitter documentation the plan to shutdown basic auth was as follows

• beginning on August 17th, 2010, basic auth rate limits will decrease by 15 requests/hour on each week day;
• on August 19th, 2010 at 5pm PDT, basic auth will be shut off temporarily for 10 minutes;
• on August 23rd, 2010 at 8am PDT, basic auth will be shut off temporarily for 10 minutes;
• on August 26rd, 2010 at 5pm PDT, basic auth will be shut off temporarily for 10 minutes; and
• on August 31st, 2010 at 8am PDT, all basic auth requests will be served with a HTTP 401 error code.

Some time back I had written simple python script to do some nifty little stuff using basic authentication of twitter and as I write this article we are moving closer to end of basic authentication. I will update my status using that script for the last time today.

I understand that it makes hell lot of business sense but than what happens to your USP which always said a professional network.

I would like to make a humble request to founders of linkedin, please stop aping Facebook and understand the difference between quality and quantity, I understand such decisions are tough ones from business perspective but may be you need to think of some innovative ways to get those things in place. I don’t want to see some cicy kid yelling that he didn’t get food to eat on linkedin.

I was returning to my place and I noticed someone struggling to start his bike, I slowed down and looked at the guy and he looked backed at me I can see the trouble in his eyes, he knew he was in mess, he gently asked me is there any petrol pump around I looked at him in amazement there are hardly any petrol pumps in Pune those will be open at 1 am in night, but still I suggested him did you went towards the chandani chowk one though I knew the answer, he replied yes I did and it was closed.

What I just did, was that enough to help that guy I didn’t felt like. I said to him let me give you some petrol from my bike, guy was surprised and taken away. I asked him try to locate a bottle which we can use for the transfer, after looking around for a while we were able to find out a empty bottle I exclaimed you are a lucky guy he nodded his head in affirmation yeah I am lucky. I asked where he wants to go and accordingly I gave him the petrol, he happily took the petrol poured in his bike and was ready to go, he looked at me and asked do I give you something for this I was surprised and amused at the same time I said no that was hardly anything and at back of mind I thought if you really want to give me something back, help someone who is caught in similar problem as you were a while back that would be the biggest way you can pay me back and he thanked me many times but I went into deep thoughts of how many of us would have done similar thing or the person whom I just help would he reciprocate that gesture to someone else? in midst of these thoughts I started my bike and left and didn’t looked back

Few days back I was wondering what’s gonna happen to my life if some day I failed at crucial point of time in my life and quickly realized by thinking this I am giving inroad to failure to ruin my dream, what ever you aspire about think about it day in day out, live with it sleep with it and keep it in your heartbeats than nothing in this world can stop you from reaching your dream or goal, major problem which I have faced in this is our logical reasoning to evaluate everything on Profit & Losss statement (P&L) that’s where the problem start when we subdue our instincts for fear which is projected in P&L statement, what I am today should not be mirror of that P&L statement but it should reflect what I really wanted to do in my life.

As in some speech Steve Jobs said imagine every day as it’s your last day of your life and ask your self are you doing what you are doing today will you be doing that if it would have been last day of your lives, don’t get carried away by dogma which surrounds you think what you want to do and do it.

I know I am no saint to preach all these things to all the intelligent people out there but still that’s what I believe in foolishly, to take it or not is up to reader and yes the disclaimer please don;t come to me saying I tried it all what you said and it did not work for me. It will not as you are unique incarnation of god what I can do you can not and what you can do I can not, that’s how the universe is created. Can you imagine everyone falling in love with only one beautiful girl on this planet, that simply does not happens for the reason we all know but than we ignore this in our lives we go after the same MBA degree, same MS from US of A , do we ever give it thought what we wanted from our lives, I know you will jump out of your couch and say I always wanted to do MBA I am sorry my friend I beg to differ that’s not what you wanted to do, that’s what you were forced to do by circumstances, I know there are 10% of people who actually take such decisions giving clear consideration to a lot of things and I respect their decisions but I am ruthless about other 90% of folks I simply pity them.

Seems like carlsberg effect is ending so is my enthusiasm to continue it further.
