The Lock Picking Lawyer on YouTube posted this on april 1st. It’s an April Fools joke, yes, but daaaamnn…. how many takes did it take to do this without laughing I don’t know.
If you’ve ever watched any Carry On films with their numerous innuendos, you’ll understand the references.
My disdain of Facebook is no secret, and now AllTime10s has put out a video listing 10 reasons why.
Who knew that Gwyneth Paltrow could sing?
And damn well, too.
She’s one of a select few Hollywood actors who can do a pretty fine job of singing too. Some other notables include
Kate Winslet
Hugh Jackman — who spent time in Broadway, so he’s probably got a bit of an unfair advantage to those who started in acting initially, but still, he definitely knows how to belt out a song
Not to forget also, Joaquin Phoenix
Here’s a WatchMojo list I found while rummaging for videos. Who knew?
You don’t need a multimillion dollar budget to make a film that has impact. This guy did it with £50…
I stumbled across this trailer of the Sully movie — the one which tells the story about the famous Hudson River landing.
And this was a brilliant set of editing cuts. It gives you the tension from just a couple of seconds of shots each. If you haven’t watched the film yet, do it now
And here’s a video of the investigation
Have a giggle with this :-)
There is a new story doing the round about how Twitter found that it had stored user’s password in the clear in an internal log. Whilst reading it, I got this email from Twitter:
While this isn’t the first time a big company has done this (Github for one also did this), it seems unbelievable that a big company like Twitter would get itself caught out by this basic, common sense security practice. Pretty much every YouTube video and article about correctly handling passwords will tell you not to store them in the clear and only store them as hashes (with salts, preferably). Hashing algorithms are meant to be really difficult or impossible to reverse, meaning you can’t (easily) use the hashes to determine the original passwords.
Some examples from a quick YouTube search — Tom Scott’s video’s really good btw :), although is comment about “using login using Twitter and let them store your password for you” is a bit ironic :P
The fact that Twitter has our unencrypted passwords on disk… does this mean Twitter has been saving our original passwords before hashing them?
More to the point – whilst Twitter are quick to point out that no-one at the company can see the masked password, they don’t mention who has (or had) access to the unmasked passwords in the internal log. Or for how long…
Twitter users who had their accounts on private may not have been as private as they initially thought….
