The Nightly Build: Thursday January 25

By Michael Calore January 25, 2007 Categories: Other

Nightlybuild The Nightly Build:

  • As part of its drive to promote Windows Vista, Microsoft has reportedly partnered up with T-Mobile to offer free Hotspot Wi-Fi access for 90 days starting Friday. Details are few, but we do know this, you’ll need a laptop running Windows Vista.

  • Opera has released the special slimmed down version of its web browser for the OLPC project to the general public. The lightweight version of Opera is “almost a normal desktop build,” which means it can compile on any Linux machine.

  • A url hack has been found in MyBlogLog which can trick innocent members of MyBlogLog into joining your community in one click. Should be a boon for spammers.

  • MySpace and GoDaddy get to share the Jackass of the Week award for taking down the website SecLists.org. The site’s owner writes: “Instead of simply writing me (or abuseatseclists.org) asking to have the password list removed, MySpace decided to contact (only) GoDaddy and try to have the whole site of 250,000 pages removed because they don’t like one of them.”
