Nature photography

Nature Photographers Online Magazine is very nice, be sure to visit their articles section. They recomend filters from SIngh-Ray. While at Singh-Ray check out the galleries on the homepage. Some good how-tos at Black Rabbit. Particularly see the water tutorial 'water' and 'dance'. I've subscribed to Vivid Light Photography Online, saw some good stuff there.

Toys for your kids

Science Toys you can make with your kids. Never mind the kids. I want these. Tushar/Nilesh/Dharmesh you want them too I'm sure.

Cars Cars Cars

Autoblog covers them all. They even have an article on India's entry into F1.

Mounting LCD Monitors

I always wanted some neat way of mounting LCD Monitors in the office other than their standard fitting. However, how can you garuntee that a 3rd party fitting will work with your monitor? comes in. They have defined theVESA Mounting Interface Standard for flat panel monitors (FDMI).

Why are people still going on about a 1972 porn film Deep Throat? There even a documentary Inside Deep Throat released this year.

Toilets for bigger people

The Great John Toilet - for taller people. What about the really tiny people. What about the wide people.

Trojan attacks MS Antispyware

I tried out and rather liked MS Antispyware. Found it was friendly even for less than savvy endusers. Now theres a trojan that targets it. Article here.

Mousepad

I have seen gaming/performance mousepads. Mousepads with calculators in them.
But this is different. Chech out Busty Mousepads. Oh this is perfect for office. Wonder how this can be made part of standard office equipment.

Stereoscope

I had a stereoscope when I was little. It was fun. The quality of the 3D feel was amazing. Never could find one later, though a few friends played about with making some stereo photos of their own. So I was happy to come across this IPOD -Photo Stereoscope. It costs a lot more than my old stereoscope though.

Compressed file used as a denial of service attack

I came across this article Compressed files strike another blow to AV. Apparently you can bring a system down by uploading a compressed file that knocks out the antivirus system.
But whats new about this? In the days of Bulletin Boards running DOS, I had come across a nasty pack called the Nowhereman Utilities. This included a tool to create a zip file. When extrated this file would be huge. (Well back then even 400 Mb was huge). The idea was upload this to a BBS, the antivirus would have to unzip it to scan it and wham all disk space used up.
So now after all these years the same trick still works? Thats awful.
