New Security Sensor Gives Admins Better View of Network Attacks (eWeek)
EWeek introduces
Hone, a security tool developed by the US Department of Energy (DOE).
"Hone gives users a “’glanceable’ type of view of what’s happening on
the network and what’s happening on the machine,” [Hone creater Glenn Fink]
said. Hone also is a tool that has uses beyond understanding and responding to attacks, Fink said. It can be used to help programmers debug new networked applications being developed. In addition, security administrators can use data from Hone to ensure that only certain processes on their systems can communicate with the network, and to monitor what their systems are doing, which would help them identify such threats as viruses, spyware and rootkits."

Oh ugh, site requires javascript to skip the ad splash page Posted Apr 17, 2012 21:48 UTC (Tue) by felixfix (subscriber, #242) [Link]
Won't read about it at that link! It begins with a splash age complete with ad, and a javascript link to skip it if the 12 second delay is too boring. Since both the 12 second wait and the bypass link require javascript, too bad for me :-)

As an aside it is only a matter of time (once mobile devices rival the display power and page hits of traditional desktops) before obnoxious ads make their way to mobile sites as well
Oh ugh, site requires javascript to skip the ad splash page Posted Apr 18, 2012 11:51 UTC (Wed) by NAR (subscriber, #1313) [Link] once mobile devices rival the [...] page hits of traditional desktopsWill this happen? My impression was that every website creates its own application and suggest to use that instead of the normal browser...

That's certainly the trend.
Does icanhazcheeseburger need a separate app to load and view images? Ehh, probably not. The same can be said for various weather apps, news app, etc.
But who can be bothered to learn from history. There are many reasons websites are so great for many things which used to be done with client side applications.
There's also the side that says if managers and MBA's want to pay for Apps that duplicate the functionality of an existing website. Many developers will be happy to oblige.

I always imagined Print and Mobile options were just added by actual programmers, without the real knowledge of the people in charge, in order to actually make the sites useful.
Failing that, though, most browsers have extensions to reduce the pain of reading on the modern web. (I made one too; http://njw.me.uk/software/simplyread/)
