Please, You Even Called This 'Hacking'? :P

It all started with direct twitter messages, via persons that are in my followers list. The messages were interesting enough, saying “Hello someone is posting nasty things about you” and “Hi someone is saying horrible rumors about you”.



When someone says that, then it is only natural for us to know what it is all about. Then the clicking begins. The URL links forwarded from one shortener (t.co) to another (bit.ly) and, finally the trick is presented before your eyes.



Hold on. First, put on your glases and read. It is ‘tvvitiler’ not ‘twitter’ despite of all the striking similarities.



Here, you are prompted to fill up the ‘twitter’ username and password. And therefore, I filled up mine.



A mock username of course, as the dumb is for the dumb.

After you click the ‘sign in’ button, it will be diverted back to the real twitter page. And of course, twitter complaints that your action was a no-go. There, you have been tricked and now time to weep. In a few minutes your account gone bye-bye.



But this is not hacking, it is called phishing. The trick works only if you aren’t careful. Or maybe, your glasses are misplaced somewhere.

This technique has great flaws in order to get me because I assigned different passwords with certain allogarithm and encryption to every account. Plus, I never touch a keyboard to fill up any login sessions for years.

C’mon, just ask my twitter username and password if you want. But, I don’t even memorize what my password is, so, try harder next time.

Chrome The Leading Browser, Android The Leading Smartphone OS

It is the time to redefine your computing skill. Google Chrome now is the leading internet browser with around 37% of global market share. Firefox is second and Internet Explorer, the third. Google chrome is based on chromium open source, an open initiative also set up by Google Inc.

Comes the Android. Also of Google’s, now conquered around 60% of the smartphone market.

So it is about Google and google. With others trailing closely from behind.

How about Google + Facebook + Twitter? RockMelt, a chromium-based browser is definitely worth trying.

Blue Is My Favorite Color

Note: 18 Apr 2012 - Thanks to a blogger / friend, Kay, for pointing out Tumblr possible integration with Disqus. I now integrates this blog with my facebook profile and twitter. I don’t know how to enable posting to my facebook page, yet. Also I’m still in dark on how to change the font color of the posting text. The standard html opening tag <p style = “FFF0000”>  doesn’t seems to work, neither does <font color=”green”>

sample text

See, the above text is supposed to be in green, but it stays in black instead.

Will figure it out soon :(

I’ve just completed the registration with Tumblr.

Look like that the default theme is blue, somewhat dark blue. I like it anyway and I’m not going to change it anytime soon.

Further customization? Probably, but not now. Still shaping my learning curve to move around Tumblr.

And I know some of you, my die hard fans (if there are any, lol), are watching zealously to what I’m going to do with this new Tumblr blog. Okay, seriously, nothing. I just want to keep going and continue from where I stop last time.

That is, to keep on writing.

I once said, writing is about encapsulating the flows of idea in the form of text so other can see them for as long as possible.

Hello Tumblr!

I’m on Tumblr from now on. I have been blogging for too long that my mind exhausted and looking back, I’m now resting for nearly two years.

But then, actually I love to write.

Only that I don’t want to write too seriously like before, nor that I want to become too casual tweeting on Twitter every minute.

And Facebook? Nah, my home page are full with friend’s emotional displays and daily inconveniences. According to Buddha, life is samsara my friend, samsara. Unless the person realize it, he can’t free himself from the persistence chain of inconveniences.

Each to their own by the way. Now I choose Tumblr and by the look at it, I hope that I make a right choice.

Cheers,

mie4life.
