Once you have your company’s web site up and running, it isvital that you do everything possible to keep it that way.Nothing sets off alarms in a customer’s head faster than a nonaccessible web site or one that has features which do not work.A web site is literally your company’s window to the world andevery aspect of the site; including the design, content,accessibility, ease of navigation, and uptime, says a lot aboutyour company.

This past weekend, Berlin played host to Music Hack Day – an event where attendants built and tested hacks, contraptions, and software all dealing with sound, music, or the distribution thereof. Some of the hacks are simply mind blowing to see built in only a day or two. Like the location based CitySounds.fm or Tracks on a Map – mapping out where your music is from. Or the music based games and composition tools, iLoveAcid squencer and MaschineFighter – adding some crazy fun to MIDI.
Oh, we almost forgot, we can’t go an entire post without mentioning something Arduino;…

AdwareAdware is software that presents banner ads or in pop-up windows through a bar that appears on a computer screen. Those advertising spots usually can’t be removed and are consequently always visible. The connection data allow many conclusions on the usage behavior and are problematic in terms of data security.BackdoorsA backdoor can gain access to a computer by going around the computer access security mechanisms.A program that is being executed in the background generally enables the attacker almost unlimited rights. User’s personal data can be spied with the backdoor’s help, but are mainly used to install further computer viruses…

Hackers have programmed a Trojan that uses Google Groups newsgroups to distribute commands. Trojan distribution via newsgroups has existed for more than a decade, but using newsgroups as a command and control channel is a new innovation.
The Grups Trojan itself is quite simple and is only noteworthy for the command and control structure it deploys. The malware is programmed to log into a Chinese language newsgroup to receive commands, Symantec security researcher Gavin O’Gorman writes.
When successfully logged in, the Trojan requests a page from a private newsgroup, escape2sun. The page contains commands for the Trojan to carry out.…

The first thing that one must realize about an herbal detoxification is what it truly is. Like any other detoxification system, an herbal detoxification will help the body get rid of any toxins that are in the system. It will not only focus on cleaning the colon and liver, but it will also flush out the kidneys as well. There are a whole host of benefits from performing an herbal detoxification every month, but many people do combine the herbal detox system with other types of detoxification systems that they know.
After one realizes what the herbal detoxification will do…

A simple panning motion can add impact to the already-dramatic effect of time lapse photography. To accomplish this, frugal cinematographers sometimes build [Rube Goldberg] contraptions from clock motors, VCR parts or telescope tracking mounts. Hack a Day reader [Stephan Martin] has assembled a clever bargain-basement system using an Arduino-driven stepper motor and a reduction gear system built up from LEGO Technic parts, along with some Processing code on a host PC to direct the show.
While the photography is a bit crude (using just a webcam), [Stephan’s] underlying motion control setup might interest budding filmmakers with [Ron Fricke] aspirations but Top Ramen budgets. What’s more, unlike…

[Joshua] has put together a list of BASH prompt customizations. The command prompt is used in a command-line interface to show that the system is ready for the next command. Often times this is nothing more than a user name, host name, and working directory:
mike@krusty:~$
[Joshua's] customization examples can be used to color code the information in your prompt, change what information is displayed, and make the prompt respond differently when an invalid command is typed. A BASH prompt reference is helpful in deciphering what each of these commands do. The easiest simplification is to understand that non-printing…
