In Mouth Wide Shut, Joel talks about the dangers of pre-announcing features. Another danger in software development is tying yourself into a calendar schedule and development cycle that don't work together. There's a big difference in how you should do your development if you want to have a release every year and if you want to release whenever things are ready.
sklar.com : PHP and the OWASP Top Ten Security Vulnerabilities. Looking through the list, I think I'm in pretty good shape.
Credit Card-Size Hard Drive Can Hold 5GB. Now there's the replacement for ZIP disks that I've been looking for! If these things actually ship and are even mildly reliable, I think they'll sell a lot of them.
The Danger Hiptop smart mobile offers web to go. Apparently Danger's going to introduce a color model in Europe this summer. I expect the color one will ship in the US sometime next fall, when the one-year plans are up for everyone who got one in October. [boing boing]
Tesco (a UK supermarket chain) is developing a Credit card that tells you when you're drunk. Breathe on it, and it'll change color to reflect how likkered up you are. Won't do you any good if you're drunk enough to lose it, but otherwise breathe on it, and if it turns red, you may want to think again about the purchase you're about to make. [boing boing]
A day at the office in 2013 is a cautionary tale. But it's not that far-fetched.
