It took me 1.5-years to get RSS after Dave Winer first showed it to me. So, I am getting faster. Took me just a few months to get friendfeed. Glad you kept after me.

Well, I will grant that the sentiment of French Marshall Lyautey has some merit (he asked his gardener to plant a tree and when the gardener objected that the tree was slow growing and would not reach maturity for 100 years the Marshall was said to have replied, 'In that case, there is no time to lose; plant it this afternoon!')....

yes, we did the podcast when ff was acquired by the book of face.. watched them absorb the real-time elements and i check in from time to time usually through this post as it brings back very fond memories. google + reminds me of the early days of ff - haven't felt that way about any of the social nets that have come since the facedbooked swallow up. heaven knows we've been on them all and they seem so ancient now -- quora anyone? google got it right with +. think it marks the next era for them.

Roll call...this can be great if we all participate. Add yourself to this shared map. I created a placemark on the 2 major intersections near where I live.
- Mark Krynsky
Mo, I'm a newb to the shared maps stuff, but I turned on collaboration and allowed anyone to edit the map. There should be an edit button and then you can add a placemark.

"Plastic takes thousands of years to decompose — but 16-year-old science fair contestant Daniel Burd made it happen in just three months. The Waterloo, Ontario high school junior figured that something must make plastic degrade, even if it does take millennia, and that something was probably bacteria. The Record reports that Burd mixed landfill dirt with yeast and tap water, then added ground plastic and let it stew. The plastic indeed decomposed more quickly than it would in nature; after experimenting with different temperatures and configurations, Burd isolated the microbial munchers. One came from the bacterial genus Pseudomonas, and the other from the genus Sphingomonas. Burd says this should be easy on an industrial scale: all that’s needed is a fermenter, a growth medium and plastic, and the bacteria themselves provide most of the energy by producing heat as they eat. The only waste is water and a bit of carbon dioxide."
- April Buchheit
from Bookmarklet
So why is carbon sequestration a good idea when it's all complicated and expensive, but bad when it involves burying plastic bags in landfills?
- Paul Buchheit
I think it's better to sequester carbon as dirt than as bags.
- Gabe
But if it's already in plastic bag form, why not leave it that way instead of turning it into CO2?
- Paul Buchheit
Paul: that's exactly what I've been thinking. Particularly since the City of Seattle no longer allows residents to sequester food based carbon in landfills and instead requires us to burn it into compost.
- Hayes Haugen
Dirt is useful because you can grow stuff in it. Most waste products are not so useful.
- Gabe
Yes, but the choice isn't between dirt and plastic -- it's between plastic and CO2.
- Paul Buchheit
I have to agree with Paul on this one: atmospheric CO2 is much more of a pressing concern at the moment than landfill space. Though I do admire the kid's scientific spirit.
- Louis Simoneau
It doesn't say what the process actually produces. They mention the feed material (plastic) and the waste material (water, CO2), but not the real products. I assumed it produced globs of carbon. Am I wrong?
- Gabe
Has nobody considered this for an artificial ecosystem? Compost your scraps for fertile soil, and compost your bags for the CO2 for the plants growing in it. Sure you'll need an airlock on your greenhouse (and an oxy mask whenever you enter it) but you'll have the best damned tomatoes on your street.
- Chris Charabaruk
You don't want to leave it in plastic form as it screws up the ocean large! Check this out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... I hope they can use this to make something that would eat the plastic in the ocean rather than the sea life dying from it.
- Luke Kilpatrick
Since it said that the waste products were CO2 and water, I assumed there were also non-waste products. The good thing about landfills is that they can later be mined for all the great things that were too cheap to recycle.
- Gabe
Yeah, I think landfills have an unjustly bad reputation. When properly managed, they are a great way to deal with garbage that our technology can't yet efficiently recycle. (we're saving for the future!)
- Paul Buchheit
that's great news. now i can really finish my threat to all my damn *invincible* plastic bags! (waves fist)
- ed fry
The two biggest problems with landfill are the leachate seeping into groundwater (or contaminating local soil) and methane (a greenhouse gas). Even if you can mitigate those problems, they're difficult to eliminate entirely, making the land almost useless once it's full.
- Gabe
Gabe, not to minimize the problems, but I live right next to Shoreline Ampitheather in Mountain View, which is built on landfill is proof that the landfill land is hardly useless.
- Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
It's not just landfills, though. Take the large floating trash gyre of the Pacific, and its effects in the ecosystem. So the tiny little plastic balls in water are fake food, and animals eat them, and then die in various ways, lowering populations and making species even more fragile. Landfill may be a good way if it's contained and monitored more closely, or CO2, in various areas- such...
more...
- anna sauce
@anna at least he is coming up with a solution rather than just finding more things to complain about
- Chris Johnston
anna's right -- the problem is when the stuff ends up in the ocean. Landfills are a good way to keep the stuff out of the ocean.
- Gabe
Stop speculating and start experimenting!
- Dane Deasy
The thinking seems to be to invite everyone over to the new US Politics Room (http://friendfeed.com/rooms...) after tonight so we can discuss Election Day and everything else in a more permanent place. Come on by and join!
this was great. thanks, Steve. see ya in the USP room.
- MikeAmundsen
question why not simply rename this group?
- R. Ferguson
Ruth - I can change the name, but the the URL "2008-debates" would never change. The name would be a misnomer and will feel musty once 2009 rolls around. Rather it be clean and more SEO friendly.
- Steve Isaacs
OK - glad to see many have moved over.
- R. Ferguson
Last night I created a list to include several rooms so I could watch each. Real Time was just to fast but what a night to release it. Well done FF.
- Russellreno
Yeah agreed - I was glued to the real-time feed. Loved it.
- Steve Isaacs
Hao, this is awesome! Remember how people were saying in the FF Feedback room, how they'd like services to be linked, but not important the feeds? THIS is the temp. solution. WOW. Are you going to implement a way to filter individually?
- Mona Nomura
It doesn't actually do that, Mona. If your account is in Friendfeed, it goes into your feed. Hao Chen is merely making it easier to get the URLs from FriendFeed.
- Mark Trapp
Looks great. I guess I'll have to look into Social Graph API a bit deeper. It's so much faster than FF API for network data.
- Benedikt Koehler
Oops, I meant UN-LINK services so it'll stop pulling into their feed BUT still enable their friends to link to their respective accounts. Thank you for catching that, Mark.
- Mona Nomura
It should be possible to use the Social Graph API to find services that are not imported into Friendfeed as well as friends' services not on FF. It's a bit tricky because it requires a lot of separate requests. Right now, it's only using the SG API to find your subscriptions across the services you import on FF.
- Hao Chen
Thanks, just don't look at the source code. LOL
- Hao Chen
Hao, this is awesome, this is going to save me so much time! Thanks!
- Shey
Very cool. However, my tiny brain is not grokking " Remove Connections Already Subscribed To". Please to explain.
- Laura Norvig
Laura, it's not very accurate, but it's supposed to remove links to people's accounts on the other networks you already subscribe to. For example, if I already subscribe to Bob on Twitter, it might remove the link to Bob's Twitter page in the big list.
- Hao Chen
very kool Hao....Im finding my fellow FF on other services!
- (jeff)isageek
Hao, this is very cool; I just used it to great success friending last.fm users.
- Pete D
Hao, since I am the lone step child, any idea why it would not work for me. I typed in my ID, nothing happens, no spinning wheel indicating it is thinking. Just looks at my sad face....LOL.
- R. Ferguson
Hoa - This is great. Can you add Blip.fm?
- Russellreno
this is so awesome Hao - great job!!!!!!!! look out for random add notifications from me :)
- Morgan
How does that work?I type in some user name in it,nothing happen...
- Steve Chou
Steve, what browser are you using? Any JavaScript errors?
- Hao Chen
Glad to hear you guys are finding uses for it. @Russell Right now, the list of services it displays is the list of services being imported by people's FF accounts, and since Blip.fm isn't a supported service yet, I can't add that in easily. I'll think about how to use the Social Graph API more effectively to do those things though.
- Hao Chen
This is just excellent, not wholly accurate like you say but brilliant. Now all I need is to add more contacts on FF ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Never seems to work for my own username.
- Andrew Trinh
Thanks, guys. :) Andrew, ah, looks like Social Graph doesn't see your FF subscriptions for some reason. http://socialgraph-resources.g... I'll re-code this using the Friendfeed API to get your subscriptions later.
- Hao Chen
Very cool Hao! I like seeing which less-common services people actually use. My list (and top 25 services) is http://friendfeed.com/e... Does your system count me twice for YouTube because I have 2 YouTubes? (seems like it might, from the Blog counts).
- Mitchell Tsai
It's not working for me either when I input my username.
- Steve Lowe
Ditto steplow. Looks like it should be awesome but sadly it's drawing a blank for my username. :(

The swap box has arrived at it's first destination; moi! Thanks for getting this put together and for the nice items Tina. I will post more thoughts in a little bit (and I'll update the map)
Just to let folks know I kept 4 things from the box (hope that isn't too greedy): 1. Mini Moon Pie; I've seen these before but never had one. 1. GooGoo cluster: Never heard of them but it sounds good. 1. Magnetic bookmark; I love to read so can't go wrong with a bookmark. 1. postcard - a great photo. My wife and I are always looking for neat cities to visit and now Greenville will be in our queue.
- Bill Rawlinson
GooGoo clusters and MoonPies are both about as southern as it gets (my vote goes to GooGoo clusters, BTW). When/if you come visit, make sure to let me know: every FFer in town gets beer or BBQ my treat =)
- FFing Enigma
I've seen moonpies in the store here but never bought one before so this was a good excuse to finally break down and try one (my step mother makes really good homemade ones) I am trying to resit eating the GooGoo cluster right away so that I can stretch out my enjoyment of the swap's stage here as long as possible. I'll post again when I've added some stuff and then again when i've shipped.
- Bill Rawlinson
Did you eat your GooGoo cluster yet?!?
- FFing Enigma
No I'm going to eat the GooGoo cluster tomorrow. My wife and I have identified a few things we want to gather to put in the box and she is stepping up and going to drive around looking for them tomorrow! They aren't edible though but hopefully someone in the chain will enjoy them :O)
- Bill Rawlinson
Ok - I ate my GooGoo cluster. It seemed a lot like a round BabyRuth bar but a bit chewier. I think I'll get another to put in the box so someone else down the line can give them a try too. It turns out you can buy them here. I am thinking of putting a "Flat Stanley" in the box and asking everyone to take a photo of Stanley somewhere special in their town. Then, eventually, when I make it back through the alternate queue, Stanley will arrive back to me with a full album of photos accompanying him :O)
- Bill Rawlinson
What a cool idea about Flat Stanley! :) I'd take a picture of him somewhere in Chicago, perhaps visiting the Cloud Gate at Millennium Park.
- Cheryl Jones
cool! thanks for opting in Cheryl.. I hope to have the package out of my hands within the next two days and on its way to Janet in PA...
- Bill Rawlinson
Looking forward to the next stop and Flat Stanley will be photographed doing something 'tourist' for my area. I have my items and anxious to get the package 'across the pond'. Did anyone get a flickr.com site created for the photo uploads? My dog did get into one of the items I was going to send. Naughty dog!
- Janet:#TeamMonique
I finally started to use the bookmark I pulled out of the box yesterday. More than 1.5 years after getting it. Thanks for the bookmark Tina.
- Bill Rawlinson
You're welcome Bill! I took a picture with another friend's Flat Stanley this Saturday and that reminded me that our FS has been wandering for almost two years. The box should be on it's way to Aden by now though, we're almost there!
- FFing Enigma
I just found my bookmark and couldn't remember where or why I had it! Yeah.
- Janet:#TeamMonique

First Paragraph: "If youth, throughout all history, had had a champion to stand up for it; to show a doubting world that a child can think; and, possibly, do it practically; you wouldn’t constantly run across folks today who claim that “a child don’t know anything.”A child’s brain starts functioning at birth; and has, amongst its many infant convolutions, thousands of dormant atoms, into which God has put a mystic possibility for noticing an adult’s act, and figuring out its purport."

How do you use sub-tags? I'm trying to come up with a solid tagging structure, and I'm looking for the balance between multiple notebooks and tags and sub-tags.
Notebooks and tags are very different... you can only have a note in one notebook, so they're pretty limiting. I have groups of tags that are major categories, stuff like collections, contacts, development, ideas and inspiration, projects, shopping lists, todo and a few others. Under those I have various subtags. I may not "use" a top level tag on a note. I mainly use them to organize...
more...
- Lindsay
I agree with @lindsay and I've developed a similar 'strategy'. Problem is that the 'subtags' are not really that. Clicking on the 'mother' tag does not reveal all subtagged notes. Although I would REALLYlike that!
- Peter van Teeseling
from twhirl
Right, Peter... if you want notes to show up for the "parent" tags you have to remember to tag the notes with the parent as well. I have mixed feelings about liking the way they do it now... for things like my collections top-level tag, I don't mind that none of the notes have that tag... but for development, I make sure that I include it on notes and it would be nice if it were there automatically when I added one of the subtags... I guess I can't have it both ways. :)
- Lindsay
@lindsay: I'm giving your "data types" idea a try and I'm wondering, what data type to you give codesnippets? You mentioned that your "codesnippets" tag was under "development," but isn't it data type? TIA; hope you don't mind sharing.
- Andrew
You're right, Andrew, codesnippets is a data type. I should probably move that under collections. I think that I had it under development because that was how I had done some other tag "structures" before and just ported that over but those were before I started using the collections as a top level tag. I will probably move that, because I had all the languages under it and there were some things related to the languages/platforms that aren't really codesnippets (whitepapers and best practice docs).
- Lindsay
I have been playing with different ways to try get things organized. The folders are pretty useless to me because you can't have sub-folders. I can't just organize with tags because you end up with a huge list and it's difficult to filter. It's hard to use nested tags unless you imagine them as folders. So, I set up a bunch of "folders" under a tag called #Folders This way, I can have a tag called "car search" and a multiple tags beneath it like "used cars" "new cars" etc...
- j456
I also have an @Actions tag with a bunch of tags like "followup" "unread" etc.. The tags with a symbol at the beginning are empty tags that just help you organize things...If you imagine them as folders then it works. You could also have a separate group of tags that are a list of "keywords"...
- j456
like others above, it would be nice to be able to click on the "mother" tag and have all notes with that tag or any subtag of that tag shown. I could imagine this working either by collapsing/rolling up the tag tree (i.e. selecting a tag when collapsed includes all subtags) or by some cool search syntax (e.g. tagancestor:xxx). But these methods are just in my imagination AFAIK...

http://cliqset.com/user... - I've added most of you on this list in the hopes that if we do have to move on to cliqset, it will be easier for me to transition over
- Wang Yip
http://cliqset.com/user... Not feeding from Twitter - to cut the noise down. Instead, from Identi.ca - which feeds here to FF - so FriendFeed isn't included either. Less is more.
- A Mitchell
I agree, as Twitter has a tendency to go fail whale at times. Identi.ca on the other hand rarely does.
- Robert Sanchez Jr
Important microblog posts can start on Identi.ca and go to Twitter and here to FF at the same time. Replies start and finish on Twitter. By not pulling in from Twitter here to FF and Cliqset, it keeps followers from being overloaded. Goog/Bing search better on Identi.ca and FF than Twitter, treating both as blogs versus Twitter which is *.*
- A Mitchell
Anyone still use cliqset? Or has Pip.io become a better alternative? :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
I have some service pushing to cliqset but never really used it. Subscribed to pip.io some time ago and never got back... is it worth? My favorite service (even though is not an aggregator) is amplify.com, great for conversations!

Tina, I didn't notice Dave being so reddish in his topless shot. It's the contrast between his skin tone and yours that makes him look sunburned. :)

Must ask Tina about her facial skin care, flawless! (Won't discuss her chestage hairs)
- Janet:#TeamMonique
I do very little, Janet, other than avoid the sun and wear no makeup (both because I tend to be allergic to sunscreen). The chest hairs I blame on my dad: he always told me to eat my greens because they'd put hair on my chest! Yes, that actually is true, but then again he was drinking at the time...

I also went and put the morro.ws widget near the bottom of MHWD website, although I do hope they make the widget customizable in the future before the Firefox addon becomes totally stable (right now the addon is marked as "experimental".) As of right now, you cannot make the Firefox addon for Morro.ws smaller or bigger nor can you change & customize colors, that limits positioning to...

Wait, I thought that was already decided? Did I miss something?
- Rob Diana
No, I'd settled on something but it wasn't "wowing" me. This one, however, hit me yesterday and was perfect: it's pun-y, makes me chuckle, and involves an actual name people can call me. Plus it references one of my favorite cartoons and is completely original on the international roster. Woohoo!
- FFing Enigma
Moose and Squirrel FOREVER!!! And Mark, the backstory was part of why I picked this name: we have to have a character bio and this one just pulled itself together.

LOOK AT THAT GIRL WITH THEM DAISY DUKES ON!!! ... I know it has nothing to do with anything. It just bubbles up when I hear the word "Daisy"
- MoTO #TeamMonique
Dave mentioned that too, Barry, so I told him he could pick Daisy Dukem for his ref name if he wanted to. He declined =)

Tina, I may have to send you some authentic, Royal Canadian Mounted Police piece of gear because of this. Hmm, what would be fitting... *thinks on it*

OMG that would be awesome Micah! We've got enough ladies on the team right now that we can probably split into A and B teams, and I'm hoping that I can get the colors for the B team to include red so the whole Mountie thing will work better =D

Matthew, that's why we're taught to fall with our fingers clutched in (either a fist or something similar to the 'e' in sign language). Falling with your fingers splayed is a sure way to get it broken via a roll over; it's happened to someone on our team before.

My Windows 7 experience thread (Clean install from Vista Home Premium 32-bit to Windows 7 Professional 32-bit, 1.73GHz Core Duo, 2GB RAM, Performance Index 2.9).
Installation actually happened this past Sunday. It's just as fast as you heard it is. LOVE that you can keep your old documents even for clean installs (they get put into a Windows.old folder)
- LANjackal
Yes, it's FAST. I feel like I got a brand new PC. Not kidding.
- LANjackal
Tip: If you can't stand the large icons in the Start Menu, download Ultimate Windows Tweaker here http://www.thewindowsclub.com/ultimat... and toggle the "Use Small Icons" in the Start Menu settings
- LANjackal
It still takes way too many clicks to determine your own IP address. That's just silly.
- LANjackal
Boot and shutdown times have been greatly improved for sure
- LANjackal
I cranked the UAC settings up to the max, since I prefer to be reminded when anything that requires elevation is happening (the warning lets me think about what I'm doing, which I like). In 7, secure desktop loads a lot faster than it did in Vista, so the annoyance is minimal.
- LANjackal
Graphics performance is superb. PCs without discrete GPUs will fly through Aero Flip 3D, which wasn't previously the case
- LANjackal
Another (major) pro tip: Get Windows 7 Inside Out by Ed Bott. Excellent, excellent resource. I've been using that series since XP SP1 and love it. It will save you a lot of Googling and searching. It also comes with a PDF version on disc so you can search it from your PC too
- LANjackal
Windows 7 now stores all your credentials (including server logins) under your Account Settings. Upshot: centralized management. Downside: If you're not aware of it, it can be annoying. If you enter the wrong credentials for a server, tell 7 to recall them and the login fails, all you'll get is an error message with no way to change the credentials from Explorer. You'll have to go back...
more...
- LANjackal
The above trend of centralization and simplification continues throughout 7. For example, you can't pin a shortcut to BOTH the Start Menu & the Taskbar. MS is really trying to eliminate redundancy not only in the OS but also in user behavior IMO
- LANjackal
Earlier I'd posted that PS3 Media Server didn't work. Wrong. The trick is to reinstall the entire app if it can't install the service. I'm switching back to it and dumping TVersity, which seems to bloated for what I want it to do.
- LANjackal
WMP 12 continues to be an unsung standout among media players. The newest development: the Play tab can now manage several playlists at once via its own back/forward buttons. What this means is that you can create instant playlists from searches WITHOUT losing the one you were listening to before, even if that one wasn't saved to a hard copy. If you prefer WMP folderize and rename your music files for you, ensure you change the Rip Music folder to where the tracks are actually located or it won't.
- LANjackal
W7 just saved me $2K. How? Well, before I'd been planning to get a brand new high performance desktop from Alienware or the like. But my old laptop is so speedy after upgrading that I can comfortably shelve that idea and upgrading my LAN to 100% gigabit for under $200 instead
- LANjackal
The new taskbar really really changes the way you think about multitasking. Since shortcuts and open windows are now represented in the same space, you're no longer glaringly aware of how many windows you have open
- LANjackal
I love Win 7. I too saved money when I did a clean install on my four year old HP. BTW my PI is 3.1.
- Russellreno
TROUBLE IN DRIVERLAND: Took a picture earlier tonight with my Canon, inserted card into reader on laptop. Nada. Turns out 7 never recognized it to begin with. Fortunately the driver question seems pretty common - it's right on the Toshiba Support front page. I downloaded and installed it and the reader works now. Also installed a driver for my WiFi adapter, just in case since I haven't had to use it yet and don't wanna find out it doesn't work when I actually need it
- LANjackal
So, MS had publicly stated that all Vista drivers would work in Windows 7, and that's been mostly true from what I've seen. The fine print is that the installation process may not necessarily be the same & following the Vista instructions in 7 could result in some pretty odd - albeit reversible - problems. Such as this one: http://friendfeed.com/tech-su...
- LANjackal
Major annoyance: it is a documented fact that Windows 7 (and perhaps Vista) will allow USB connections to "sleep" when they're not used for long periods of time (apparently this is a power saving measure) The problem gets worse when a USB hub is involved. My printer and hub often disappear from the PC if I haven't actively used them for a long time, and a reboot is the only thing that fixes it.
- LANjackal
Veronica: So, I'm guest lecturing for an Emerson College social media class tonight over Skype. Muffin: Really? Weird! Veronica: Should be fun, I'm looking forward to it! Muffin: It will be. Namedrop me. Veronica: OK! Muffin: "My friend has a job in social media where she is paid 50 an hour to do her laundry and shop online." Veronica: HAHAHA!... - http://www.theladylikes.com/post...

Spam is being posted to FriendFeed via what I suspect is a buggy Firefox extension. If you found yourself logged in to FriendFeed as someone else, this is probably the cause. If security is a concern for you, I would avoid extensions. See http://www.net-security.org/secworl... for more info on extension security.
From http://www.net-security.org/secworl...: "Mozilla doesn't have a security model for extensions and Firefox fully trusts the code of the extensions. There are no security boundaries between extensions and, to make things even worse, an extension can silently modify another extension. Any Mozilla application with the extension system is vulnerable to same type of issues. Extensions vulnerabilities are platform independent, and can result in full system compromise. The researchers believe that the weakest link in the chain is the human factor. Many add-on developers do it for a hobby and are not necessarily aware of how dangerous a vulnerable extension can be. The extension reviewers don't need to have great knowledge about Web application security and follow guidelines on finding malicious extensions. This means vulnerable extensions can easily slip through."
- Paul Buchheit
Thanks for the quick response on this. I'll stick to the https:// and kill a few plugins I'm not using. If it comes down to it, I'll go to Safari. Hopefully not!
- Courtney Engle
You would think that after all the bitching about how MSIE is so insecure because of its non-sandboxed extensions that the Mozilla people would have made a secure extension facility. Apparently not.
- Gabe
Gabe, the cross-extension hole is a *head-desk*. But isn't the fundamental problem closely related to MS Office macro risk? (blast to the past: http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus... ). Microsoft rose the ranks with end-users on features first, security later. I'm just thinking out loud. Thoughts?
- Micah
Micah: The fundamental problem is that it's just hard to design systems (computer and otherwise) that are both secure and functional. You can excuse MS by saying that they were implementing features and didn't care about security. But what's Mozilla's excuse? They wrote their whole system after already knowing that non-sandboxed extensions are a massive security hole. The answer, of course, is that it's nearly impossible to sandbox extensions.
- Gabe
Also beware of crude, amateur, incomplete & untested greasemonkey user scripts. This is for all browsers.
- sofarsoShawn
Yes, GreaseMonkey is also another huge security hole.
- Gabe
Interesting (I don't remember this story): http://www.informationweek.com/news... "Earlier this month, the lack of security oversight in the Mozilla Firefox add-on community became apparent when Adblock Plus developer ... criticized [the] creator of the JavaScript-blocking extension NoScript, for altering NoScript to interfere with Adblock Plus."
- Micah
Is bookmarklet a potential security concern too?
- Ashish
from iPhone
what about extensions developed on mozdev?
- ŁoſĐ ҒarhaÐ
I thought 3.6.x was supposed to fix some of this stuff? As far as greasemonkey goes, though, I'd rather have insecurity and greasemonkey than security and no greasemonkey. It's the only thing that keeps me sane on the web today.
- Mr. Gunn
Just as I suspected--buggy Firefox extensions are massive security holes.
- Bernie Goldbach
Glad i no longer use Firefox. Chrome FTW
- Roberto Bonini
ashish, invoking a bookmarklet is equivalent to typing a javascript: URL in your location bar, so yes, you're taking a security risk when you invoke one. Extensions are worse because they are constantly active.
- Bruce Lewis
Roberto: Chrome extensions are going to suffer from the same failings that FireFox extensions are. Doesn't matter what browser you use, if you use amateur code, you expose yourself to risk. (of course, the same holds true for small executable utilities that you run locally too)
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
I never liked extensions because they increase the browser loading time and make the webpages load slower than without extensions. I used to have google toolbar(Internet explorer 6) but I got annoyed by slow browsing. Since then I have never thought of installing any toolbar or unnecessary extensions. I think most of the security holes in the browsers are related to add ons/extensions as compare to browser themselves. I also tend to avoid bookmarklet for that reason. Can HTML5 help to avoid such problems?
- Ashish
from iPhone
Ashish, unfortunately not, HTML5 is about site rendering, so it can't modify your browser, as that would be an even larger security risk.
- Gimminy
Chrome extensions run in separate processes; they can't interact with each other; they only interact with the browser through a well-defined API which can be tuned if vulnerabilities are found; they can't even slow down your browsing experience nor chrome's startup time, if your kernel scheduler doesn't suck. None of the above statements hold true for the mozilla platform, AFAICT.
- Giovanni Bajo
Giovanni: don't be fooled into thinking that Chrome plug-ins are secure. They're still native code that gets run in the user's account context.
- Gabe
What Mozilla, Google, Kynetx, etc. all need is a trusted extensions seal and categorization in their directories. Those get manually approved and the seal gets removed if the app is ever found in violation (and the extension risks removal from the directory). I know I've heard Kynetx talk about this before.
- Jesse Stay
How will that help, Jesse? Adobe's plug-ins will obviously be considered trusted, yet it will still be full of exploitable bugs.
- Gabe
Gabe, Adobe has clearly abused that reputation. If a company is trustworthy enough to ensure only non-exploitable extensions are part of its platform users should be able to trust that source.
- Jesse Stay
But let's put this in another perspective. Many of the services you host your data on store your data on systems with exploitable bugs all the time. The problem is you aren't able to know that because you're putting your trust in a closed system that you have no control over. Storing these extensions on your own system at least gives you the control to determine what is good and what is...
more...
- Jesse Stay
Jesse: who do you trust not to put bugs in their code? There's certainly nobody I'd trust to not release buggy code.
- Gabe
Gabe, exactly, and that includes anything produced by Facebook, Google, Twitter, or any other company out there. It's a matter of who is sticking stuff in their code that tracks you and exploits you that I'm more worried about.
- Jesse Stay
I don't understand what you're saying, Jesse. While malicious extensions can be mitigated by running code only from trusted sources, you can't avoid buggy code. All code (particularly written in C/C++) is buggy, and lots of bugs are exploitable.
- Gabe
There is a difference between buggy native code (Adobe plugins) and buggy-JS(+XUL) code. The browser should be able to do something about the second case, whereas the first is a lot more difficult (although doesn't the Google Native Plugin tackle that harder problem somewhat?)
- Nick Lothian
The second case is going to be hard to solve no matter what. Even a Chrome extension could be tricked into executing arbitrary code on FriendFeed to post spam or steal credentials if written improperly.
- Matt M (inactive)
Buggy extensions (JS code) can be limited so the damages are restricted to what can happen in your browser, (but remember that XSS attacks are all just JS). That still means a buggy extension can be tricked into sending out spam. Buggy plug-ins (even running under limited privileges like in Vista or Win7) can be limited so the damages are restricted to what can happen in your [limited]...

- Gabe
This very thing has happened to my friendfeed account. Here's a response from friendfeed: This is a flawed FireFox extension problem. It seems that you have a vulnerable FireFox extension installed and it is being used to post spam to a variety of web sites.
- David
There is a big difference between buggy code on a good extension and perfectly coded trojan extensions. Not everything is something innocent that gets exploited by the bad guys. Some of it is actually written by them and looks really damn nice to the unsuspecting users that install it and use it.
- April Russo
What about the duplicate comments coming in from Google Reader? Is this related?
- Piaw Na
I have always been thinking about this: a Firrefox plugin or extension or addon (.xpi file) is no different from an .exe file. But they cant be scanned with an antivirus like virustotal before Firefox allows installing them. Atleast they need to have all the addons listed on addons.mozilla.org scanned by themselves so people can be sure that they have been scanned.
- TrafficBug
Trafficbug, I'm pretty sure they started scanning them recently, because they yanked a few for having trojans from the addon store.
- Gimminy
Evernote Nerds: I need a couple of people to proofread an Evernote-related document I'm writing. If you're interested, comment here or email me b@brettkelly.org.

If she blocked anyone's driveway, I'd stand up for her. ;)
- Gimminy
Yes, but she speaks with forked tongue...
- Spidra Webster
Spidra, she doesn't have to say a word. ;)
- Gimminy
I've only seen a pic once of someone who has this body mod. I never in a million years thought it would be possible to learn to move the split parts of that muscle separately from each other.
- Spidra Webster
I wonder how it affects whatever skill she may have had at tying cherry stem knots?
- Spidra Webster
Seems to me that cutting the muscle would weaken it, though dexterity doesn't seem to be an issue.
- Tinfoil 2.0
LEx, it might make it weaker, but I wouldn't be too sure. I mean there is still plenty of the muscle that can be contracted within the mouth and throat. I also just figured out how to control them separately. Try moving your tongue left and right independently, and then simultaneously, your tongue contracts in the very middle, so I'd think that an inch or two slit wouldn't harm strength too much.
- Gimminy
Intriguing! But also kinda gross. I wonder if she's twice as likely to bite her tongue.
- Micah Monserrat
Considering skills, maybe she could solve Rubik's cube in the mouth
