KID IN CONTROL!

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

Listen to the audio below.
The kid that says “Jet Blue 171, clear for takeoff” didn’t go to school that day, and instead went with his dad to work.
Isn’t that fun when your dad works in the JFK AIRPORT TOWER!

where does a 800 pound gorilla sit

Friday, February 26th, 2010

Here is a really funny clip made by comedy.com.
The fact that this video clip is hosted on YouTube proves that the people in Google still got some sense of humor left.

Technology Dinosaurs

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

If you are the kind of guy that likes old computers, take a look at the museum of old computers exhibition.

They have beautiful online virtual tour in the museum, that shows anything from ZX-81 to VeryOld Huge Floopy Disk Drives. Kind of boring for some, Fascinating for others..

The wrong way to choose a domain name

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

You all probably know by now that choosing a domain name with your keywords can help your SEO. When doing that, it is very important to verify how the new domain name sounds. 200ok has a very funny list of bad domain names, some of them are pretty famous sites.

few of my favorite examples are:

Experts Exchange - www.expertsexchange.com/

IP computer software - www.ipanywhere.com/

The First Cumming Methodist Church Web - www.cummingfirst.com/

and the best is

Speed of Art - www.speedofart.com/

Don’t trust web based translators

Monday, August 4th, 2008

When I work on multi lingual adwords campaigns, in many cases I use web based translators to figure out the right keywords in Japanese, French, Italian and other languages I don’t speak.

Is it possible that on one of those times, I made the same stupid mistake like the one this guy did? :)

I don’t know if it’s real or not, but who cares?

SQL Injection

Thursday, January 3rd, 2008

I found this excellent piece of art that made me smile…

In case you were wondering what SQL Injection means, it is a trick to inject SQL command as an input possibly via web pages.

As seen above, the kid’s name is Robert’);DROP Table STUDENTS;–

Now, if you run a login form that has a user name and a password, usually the sql query behind this login form looks like that:

SELECT * FROM STUDENTS WHERE NAME=’$name’ AND PASSWORD=’$password’

Now, if someone is trying to perform an SQL Injection attack, take Robert’s name and put it as $name, and the SQL query will look like that:

SELECT * FROM STUDENTS WHERE NAME=’Robert’);DROP Table STUDENTS;–‘ AND PASSWORD=’$password’

It is quite easy to protect your system from SQL Injection on the coding phase but usually web programmers tend to do a bad job regarding security.

I’ll write some more about this issue soon…
