It uses the real email address of the people you know, and the real name of the one you know. The person said in the SPAM mail that he was visiting London, and his money was stolen. Now he said he doesn't have any money left, not even money to pay for the hotel bills. Moreover, the hotel phone line was also cut off by the robbers (fishy, huh?), so he cannot call his home or his friends. Then he begged me ...

12.17.08Facial Recognition is FLAWED"Vietnamese security firm BKIS proved that all Asians look alike - to a computer; the firm showed it can fool any popular face-recognition "security" system in any brand-name notebook computer quite easily with a photo; the built-in webcams on Toshiba, Lenovo and similar notebooks scan eyes and similar conspicuous features, and BKIS simply enhanced those facial parts on the otherwise normal photos to fool the computers; companies that have been hyping facial-recognition as superior to fingerprints or simple passwords had no immediate comment." Source: Bangkok Post - Facial Recognition is flawed I am not sure whether this is true or not. If ...

The new wordpress has a more user friendly layout, althoug a bit confusing at first. It is easier to publish a new post now, and the new collapsable menues are very convenient and more user friendly. And all my old plugins and widgets work well with the new wordpress. One thing that annoy me though is the overlapping of some elements in the user interface. I am using firefox and some elements overlap. I don't know if this happens to IE ...
