⇒ fallout from Gmail hacking

Gmail was hacked by someones in China this week. Shit hit the fan, yo:

ie exploit used

micro$h!t issues warning

servers behind attack id'd

political aftermath

germans told to avoid IE

great firewall of china

google switches security to https

in the end Google responded to attacks by uncensoring it's Chinese results, which has long term ramifications for any other business dealing with China. Depending how Google comes away from this, it will set precedent for others. It's like a cyber cold war.

⇒ politics and stuff

Jap PM "honest" Abe resigns--what the hell was the point of attending APEC if you're gonna resign a week later?

The Chaser scored 2.XX million Australian viewers last night. They made history with that APEC stunt ('onya boys!) The videos can be downloaded FREE and legally here

John Howard declared he'd resign part way through his next term if he's re-elected. What a croc of shit! Firstly this is a lame-ass excuse should he lose the next election (all signs indicate that he will) and secondly, who the f#ck wants PM Costello?!?! Leadership isn't gotten by waiting for someone else to step down--you gotta step up and show everyone you can lead. Don't pout and cry and stamp your feet on the ground whingeing about how it should have been your turn on the pony! Stupid ass politicians!
