This week’s favourite song: Pink Floyd – Keep Talking

This week’s favourite song is Pink Floyd’s “Keep Talking”, one of my newly rediscovered favourites by Pink Floyd. It had been a while since I had last heard this yet being on their last album. I heard it two weeks ago on my iPhone while in the car and once I got back home I just had to find the video being in the mood I was in. It felt like it was the first time I had ever listened to it.

“Keep Talking” is a song from Pink Floyd’s 1994 album, The Division Bell. It features vocals by Stephen Hawking sampled from a BT television advertisement and live versions were featured in both the Pulse video and album; these are taken from different shows in each format. The song also makes some use of the talk box guitar effect. Continued…

MWAP: Mafia Wars Auto Player – Cheats Will Never Die

For those who haven’t figured it out yet, cheating will never stop. Scripts will be created for just about everything there is that can be automated. It don’t matter what online game it is, google around, youtube around and you will find cheating scripts to automate various game aspects for just about all online games, from World of Warcraft to Mafia Wars and Knight Hood just to name a few.

I must give two thumbs up to the MafiaWars Autoplayer developers, they created one of the most complex scripts I’ve seen for these types of online games. There’s just about no way game developers can track such script usage, so how can they ever get stamped out from getting used? Or are they really hurting the games that they need to get stamped out! or are they actually helping the games grow faster in popularity! Once the “creative cheats” die the games in question seem to die from past experience… Is that because of the cheaters or the players left behind once the cheaters are gone! Continued…

Passwords usually don’t reset on their own.

The new variant of this Koobface worm now appears to be sending out spoofed e-mails pretending to be the facebook and twitter “password reset tool”.

When you get an e-mail from this virus/malware it will appear to look like the e-mails are sent by Facebook or Twitter (among others) asking you to reset your password using the confirmation tool.

This password reset tool will of course then trick you onto a different site to capture the e-mail address and password entered. These most likely get stored into a bigger database used to brute force online e-commerce accounts such as online banking and simple ebay/amazon/paypal accounts that have credit card information saved on record.
