• I stumbled upon something interesting, apparently a UK student accidentally came across a flaw in myspace. He was attempting to log into myspace and incorrectly typed his password in and still managed to log on. He discovered that if you drop the last character from your password, it would still let you login happily - also if you entered the entire password correctly (sans last character) then you can have absolutely anything else after that and it would still log you in. The boy thought it was odd that Myspace truncated the password, and seems to think it would be easier for someone to hack into your account.

Even more so, is that the kind of person that Apple wants working for them?”“

  “Most of the Sims players are girls – 70% are women under 25,” he said. “The Sims is really a game about relationships – and that’s what girls want – they want relationships, they want to be able to chat.”.

  
  

  Is the industry really “failing women”? I say not! I suggest that it is women who are failing the industry! Put down the Sims and Zoo Tycoon and play some first person shooters! Think about it, is the fashion industry “failing men” because we just don’t get the whole interior design thing? There, I filled my sexist remark quota for the day.
