Some corporations fear that their employees might tweet something that hurts the corps reputation. And you should too! Most young adults that use twitter or a blog don’t think much about the consequences. Whatever you say/tweet/post might be available to the whole world forever - indexed by seach engines - and for everyone. This includes future bosses you might have, girlfriends and collegues. So if you post something that might be causing a bad reputation to you, try to take it off the net as soon as you realize it and just hope that it didn’t already spread around! Blog entries can be deleted, tweets can be deleted and most sites you post something onto give you the possibility too. Just do it before others recognize it and copy-paste it forever. And hope that the search engines won’t cache it forever.
AssertTrue(this) is a great blog. Its about programming in general and also a lot about (W)CMS-systems. The author Kas Thomas writes in a very nice way and regularily makes me laugh. I even envy his superb blog-title.
I might be writing the same stuff in 10 years - but as I’m still learning a lot, I more feel qualified to talk about little gadgets that I can understand to a reasonable extent. He blogs very actively and when I just started my feedreader and read some of his latest posts, I just needed to point your programmer’s noses to this blog.
This reminds me that I need to rework my blogroll and seperate it in something like recommendedreading, friends and just links (that link points to a very good blog too btw, just don’t try to read it without a feedreader, the design is pretty ugly).

Its now the fourth wave of attacks on twitter … the Mikeyy-worm not only infests all users that watch an infected Tweet via the web interface, it also laughs about Twitter. Beside links to infected profiles, it tweets “Don’t blame mikeyy, its twitters fault” or “Twitter hire Mikeyy” … a clear statement, that Twitter’s programmers don’t seem to know enough about cross-side-scripting.
How does the worm work? Easy: Cross-side-scripting (XSS). The name of the account closes the Tag with “> and then opens a <script>-Tag that uses JavaScript to include itself into the name of the watching logged in Twitter-User. This works, when the code is executed by a browser, which happens as soon as you use the web interface of twitter - as the name of the Tweep is shown there.
How to solve this? Twitter needs to filter all user-entered forms from malicious JavaScript-code when its submitted to their server … basic knowledge one should guess. Well, and they need to strip the Script from the existing infected Tweets. Till that happens, I’d advise everyone to not use the web interface of twitter but stick to other twitter-clients.
Today I took a look into the AppStore and downloaded two new free Apps: HeavyMach Lite & TouchPhysics Lite, then I upgraded seven other AppStore apps. Since then I got the word “special” on top of my background-wallpaper, just beneath the time. Here’s a screenshot (that you can make with hold the home-button, then also tap the power-button; you’ll find the screenshot on your camera-roll):
I googled but only found this clueless (german) article and some even more clueless forum-posts: Magerquark-Blog. Looks like a lot of people are getting this error, and it isn’t connected to the jailbreak as many people with original hard- and software without modifications get it too. Most report the error is gone after powering off the iPhone and restarting it. I tried that too, and I can affirm that it works.
Many people also asked T-Online and Apple about the “special” behaviour, but as noone could give an answer, it could also mean that a virus, spy- or malware is infecting iPhones and iPods. If you have any aditional information, please comment.
You may also comment this article in german. If you wanna share this article, I would appreciate if you tweeted it.
