1Password Makes Secure Logins Easier on Iphones / Touches

Lifehacker:

“iPhone/iPod touch only: Free application 1Password makes logging into secure sites much easier on the iPhone’s mobile Safari browser by creating a double-protected mini-database of your passwords. The app won’t auto-fill login forms in Safari, but provides its own mini-browser that plugs in your credentials into any site’s login form. Great for checking your bank accounts or secure work data, but the big drawback is lack of a keyboard inside the mini-browser—so no further typing once you’re in. Of course, you can just use 1Password as a memory-booster for your user/password combos, for which it works just fine. Users of 1Password’s Mac version can sync their passwords between versions with the $35 upgrade. 1Password is a free download for iPhones and iPod touch devices only.”

“iPhone/iPod touch only: Free application Here I Am uses your location-aware iPhone to pinpoint your position and share your whereabouts with a link to a Google Map. It’s a very simple application, but the concept—that you can quickly email your location to any contact to help them find you—is very helpful. Just fire it up, let it locate you within a reasonable level of accuracy, and when you’re happy with it, hit the email button. Straightforward but effective. Here I Am is freeware, requires an iPhone or iPod touch running the 2.0 software.”

VidtoMP3 Converts Online Video Clips to MP3

Game profits, the bottom line

Boing Boing:

“This image, sourced from more complete figures you can find at Kotaku, amuses and astonishes in equal measure. It refers to publishing only.

I can only imagine the scene at Nintendo whenever they hear its
competitors or some analyst declare it the inevitable loser of the
console war based on some contrived prognostication or trend: a moment
of silence, followed by shrieks of uncontrollable laughter.

Then they go back to snorting gold dust through ivory straws,
provided by alien slaves clad in ambergris-infused seal fur thongs.”

Pandora’s Box: Who Would Dare Open It?

Nerd Approved:

“You can look for all sorts of innovative ways to hide things you
don’t want others seeing, but this Pandora’s Box may be the most
effective yet. Usually people are looking to disguise their stashes as
everyday products, but this one demands that you chance releasing evil
into the world in order to find out what’s inside. And that is only
after they determine that this is not just a book. People seem to be
inherently superstitious and this will just play on that human flaw.”

OpenDNS Offers DNS Vulnerability Protection

I’m using it…easy to set up, many more features than your ISP’s – but the best part is protecting you from the things like this DNS exploit roaming the internets…

Lifehacker:

“Tech site Webmonkey advises users not sure whether or not their DNS servers are patched against a recently discovered vulnerability to switch to the excellent, free DNS service, OpenDNS. Test your DNS server for the vulnerability here and get Webmonkey’s instructions for setting up OpenDNS . (We love OpenDNS so much it was one of our best apps of 2006.)”

Prosthetic Limbs that Fuse with Your Skeleton [Bioengineering]

i09:

“Your next prosthetic arm will be almost as good as the one you were
born with: It will fuse with your existing skeleton. Veterinarians at
North Carolina State University have developed a technique for
attaching prosthetic limbs directly to the underlying bone structure in
the remaining limb portion. Called “osseointegrated prosthetics,” these
limbs knit themselves with the patient’s bone, allowing more for
natural movement and avoiding some of the problems of “strap-on”
prosthetics. A German Shepherd named Cassidy was the first canine
patient to receive an osseointegrated prosthetic, and the researchers
feel advances in fabrication and materials will allow them to shift the
technology to humans in the near future.

Of course, we could
take this in the exact opposite direction. How about a gene mod for
blue skin? Maybe someone out there wants to osseointegrate an extra set
of arms onto his torso. Right now, we’re focused on replacing or
repairing damaged parts, but how long before we start on the upgrades?
This year we dealt with the question of whether an amputee athlete with prosthetic running legs had an unfair advantage over runners with just human legs. Are you feeling post-human yet? Image by: StudioCanal.”
