FireFox – View your saved passwords for any page

PaulSpoerry | September 30, 2008

Mozilla Firefox Icon

Image via Wikipedia

To view the passwords associated with any site, go to the log-in page and right-click anywhere on the page. Select View Page Info, and then the Security tab. Click View Saved Passwords. Another window will pop up showing the usernames associated with that site. Click Show Passwords to see the passwords for each username.

If you want to view all of your saved usernames and passwords, open Options under the Tools menu and select the Security tab. Click Saved Passwords to open a list of every site you’ve ever saved a password for. Again, click View Passwords and the list will display all of your passwords. You can’t print this list, but you can just as easily take screenshots if you want to print out your passwords for safekeeping. Isn’t this a huge security hole?, you may ask. Why yes, it is. Knowing how easy it is for anyone with access to your PC to view all your passwords, maybe you’d like to password-protect your passwords. In the Options | Security tab, click Use a master password and enter a password. Now this password will have to be entered any time you or anyone else tries to view saved passwords. You’ll be asked to enter your master password every time you open Firefox; without it, Firefox won’t automatically enter saved passwords for you. Make sure you don’t forget this one!

VoteForTheMILF.com

PaulSpoerry | September 29, 2008

Intentionally or not, the McCain camp owns the domain name VoteForTheMILF.com. I dunno if that’s funny or sexist… or both. Probably both.

The site will redirect you specifically to a video intro by Gov. Sarah Palin at JohnMcCain.com if you are hitting it for the first time. Note that the redirect sends you first to JohnMcCain.com and THEN to Palin.htm (Palin’s Video Intro) if you’re visiting for the first time, or if your cookies are cleared, or if you’re not accepting cookies.

VoteForTheMILF McCain Campaign Domain

Since the story broke the domain WhoIs information has gone private, but I think the cat is out of the bag. There’s a full discussion along with breaking updates over at Govgap.com’s John McCain Owns VoteForTheMILF.com? article.

Manualist videos – guy plays songs using just his hands

PaulSpoerry | September 26, 2008

Gerry (Jerry) Phillips has been playing songs on his hands for 38 years. Why? I have no idea, but the results is half hilarious, half weird, and half internet awesomeness (but Paul that’s 150%… yes I know… but internet awesomeness always adds at least 50%).

The guy covers all kinds of stuff on his YouTube Channel, but here’s some highlights….

Top 10 Best Beatboxers Of All Time

PaulSpoerry | September 25, 2008

Direct from BeatAndBombs.com comes the Top 10 Best Beatboxers Of All Time. There was no doubt in my mind that Rahzel would take the crown as the guy is simply amazing. Anyway… on to the list.

Beatboxing has been around in some form for thousands years. In fact the human body was most likely the first musical instrument used in ancient African tribal ceremonies and even in the Chinese vocal art Kouji. But the true art of beatboxing didn’t really take form until the 1980s when someone made the brilliant decision to use a microphone to project their vocal beats and hip-hop music was never the same. Here we countdown the top 10 beatboxers of all time. An accomplishment made all the more significant when you realize that literally anyone born with a vocal chord has what it takes to make beats yet only these 10 can truly be called the masters of beatboxing.

New Digsby IM – Less Memory and added LinkedIn

PaulSpoerry | September 25, 2008

The new Digsby is here!  We just released Build 32 (r17926) which is the culmination of a massive effort to improve performance, improve connectivity, fix most of the remaining bugs, and add some new functionality to boot. Major changes in this release include:

  • RAM Usage: We optimized from the ground up and fixed memory leaks to lower RAM usage by almost 75%.  This has been the number one complaint since our launch and we are proud to introduce this massive improvement.
  • Performance: User interface elements draw twice as fast for better performance. We have made changes to the architecture that will improve GUI responsiveness and CPU utilization across the board.
  • Connectivity: Every IM protocol automatically tries multiple connection methods and ports to improve the odds of getting through restrictive firewalls and proxy servers.
  • LinkedIn: Digsby now supports LinkedIn in addition to the other social networks.  Functionality includes a full newsfeed, alerts when new messages arrive, and the ability to set status right from Digsby.
  • Bug Fixes: We have fixed hundreds of bugs, making Digsby more stable than ever.  There have been almost 3,000 revisions in our codebase since the last release so there are too many fixes to list in our changelog.
