SQL Injection - http://www.php.net/manual...
"Many web developers are unaware of how SQL queries can be tampered with, and assume that an SQL query is a trusted command. It means that SQL queries are able to circumvent access controls, thereby bypassing standard authentication and authorization checks, and sometimes SQL queries even may allow access to host operating system level commands." - http://www.php.net/manual...

Finally getting around to checking out Spotify. So far it seems too good to be true. I wanted to listen to something and it let me.

There are ads, unless you want to pay the monthly subscription fee.

You cannot listen with your mobile phone unless you pay. For that, I keep Pandora around.

I really like the desktop client. I went back to mog.com though.

I became a paying customer as well. I definitely have found some holes in my sub-genres, but for the most part it's great.

Key West... we use an Airport Extreme all the time and love it. Speakers all over the house, iPhone in my pocket gives me control of all the tunes everywhere.
- SAM
That's the setup I am planning to try implement tonight. Did lots of research yesterday to find what might work best for me. mog.com also looks interesting only $4.99 monthly and works with Boxee apparently. Checking that one out too.
- Key West
Maybe I should finally check this thing out.

Does anybody know how the offline mode works? I couldn't get a breakdown of that functionality on their site. Who's got Premium access yo? Can you shed some light on that for me?
- SAM
I'll have to mess with this when I get home. We're not allowed to stream anything at work.
- Akiva
Aww... thanks Rochelle! That's pretty cool functionality for those of us bouncign our signals off space.
- SAM
Wonder if Al and I could share an account. If we went premium we'd want to both have it on our phones and be able to share all the downloaded content. Hmmmm...
- SAM
I've just turned on the offline mode and it's syncing all of my music right now (143 tracks) and seems fairly slow in progress. Maybe that's just the initial sync, though.
- Rochelle
Okay, 40 minutes in and it's synced 11 tracks so far. But also, my internet is slow as hell.
- Rochelle
It might see if you're logged into two devices at the same time.. Maybe offline mode will work. I was subbed to the premium account but didn't mess with the offline mode much. Other subscription music services support that feature as well.
- Rodfather
Key West, the reason I went back to mog.com was because they have more ways to explore music. I like the playlists they have available. The radio feature is nice for exploring more music from a chosen artist or similar artists. It can run in a browser and has a fairly decent Chrome interface. It also allows me to play music from the Touchpad browser, which is nice since the Touchpad doesn't have a Spotify client.
- Rodfather
Thanks, Rodfather definitely taking a good look at both before I subscribe to figure out which one will work better for me. Had not previously heard about mog.com
- Key West
Other similar services are rdio.com, Rhapsody, Zune Pass (if you use a WP7 phone/Xbox), and Napster.
- Rodfather
Clever solution to use Boxee for mog.com and Spotify. How To: Remote Spotify streaming - boxee http://b0x.ee/p27hTq Works with Lion Server also.
- Key West
SAM, I just tried using the same account to play on an iPhone and a laptop at the same time. It doesn't work. Only one plays at a time and a message comes up saying that the streaming was stopped because another location started.

Oooh... thank you Rochelle.

Six reasons why your mom, dad and cousin will eventually flock to Google+ - http://androidandme.com/2011...
MoTO #TeamMonique, Dennis Jernberg, Jeff P. Henderson and 7 other people liked this
The only thing I'll say is this article makes some assumptions a bit weak. I think Google+ is nice, but a victory by sheer numbers is probably the worst thing you could have. The reason Apple is loved is because they developed brand loyalty. Windows didn't, and you now see the results. I want Google to try and win by capturing hearts and minds, not just win by default. Same with Android. Win well

Google has already tainted the well with the whole "real name." Even if they did a 180 and said they were going to allow pseudonym names, they have lost many. It will take a long while for Google to recover after that. As it is the powers that be are being obtuse about it. I doubt the great Louis Gray could spin this correctly.
- Me
I am still looking for an answer to this question: why will Google+ succeed where Friendfeed didn't, and considering that it is an inferior product?
- Sean McBride
One reason why my family hasn't flocked to Google+: No support for Google Apps users!
- Skyler Call
1) Yes on Google Apps. This is a must. 2) The real names thing should be addressed, period. 3) I want to see value on quality vs quantity and you know I will say this a ton. As for G+ vs FriendFeed, who said FriendFeed didn't succeed?
- Louis Gray
Louis -- Friendfeed hasn't succeeded commercially and financially -- yet. Do you agree that Google+ is a cheap knockoff of Friendfeed? I am amazed that some former Friendfeed celebrities are excited about it. What is the basis for the excitement?
- Sean McBride
Sean, no goal to go deep in this discussion, but if you consider that we are at the early stages of Google+, and that it is being continuously improved by an active team and you consider the active alternatives out there, no other solution brings what you like about FriendFeed in a continuously improving way. Helping make Google+ excellent doesn't mean I don't love FriendFeed any less.
- Louis Gray
Why is Facebook, which is in possession of a superior product (Friendfeed), not vigorously developing and promoting it (with some rebranding) against Google+? I guess I am asking several questions here (like this one).
- Sean McBride
Sean. That's easy. Facebook didn't buy FriendFeed, they bought the staff. They bought the staff to bring those aspects of FriendFeed into their product. FriendFeed still 'exists' due to the dedication of said staff but I think it's a stretch to suggest that Facebook maintains FriendFeed for any commercial advantage. We exist as the leisure of a dedicated few, not Mr Zuckerberg
- Johnny
from iPhone
Johnny -- just my opinion, of course, but my impression is that Facebook doesn't really understand Friendfeed, doesn't understand the entire Friendfeed/Google+ space, and has squandered an extremely valuable resource.
- Sean McBride
I (in my opinion) disagree. Besides the obvious talent in the group (Paul with Gmail, Bret's now in the upper-decks of management) a lot of the features integrated in Facebook in the past 2 years have been quintessentially FriendFeed. Facebook saw the value in the feature set and grabbed the team to bring it into their highly successful commercial product. It's easy to say that Facebook...

- Johnny
I agree with you that Google (the corporate culture) didn't seem to get the Friendfeed space until it began to heavily copy Friendfeed with Google+ (Wave and Buzz didn't cut it), more than three years after Friendfeed was released to the world. I haven't been impressed by Facebook's absorption of a few Friendfeed features, but then again I am allergic to the overall cluttered Facebook...

- Sean McBride
The problem with that is it assumes that the Google+/FriendFeed space is superior to Facebook in every respect. Now while technologically speaking it may be, in a commercial sense this is yet to be proven. If anything (going back to the original post), Google+ may have to adopt more Facebook-like features to entice the large-scale movement. Better isn't always better. A red 458 Spider...

Any network that has Johnny Worthington part of it is my favorite.
- Louis Gray
Johnny -- you made a valid point there: Friendfeed/Google+ may be appealing only to the top percentile or two of the population in intelligence. This kind of platform is optimized for in-depth discussions and conversations. Most people use social media as vanity sites, not to explore ideas. I guess my main bafflement about Google+ is why tech savvy people like Robert Scoble are raving...
