Get paid to find bugs in Chrome, Firefox
Posted on | January 29, 2010 | No Comments
Google in its Chrome Blog has announced rewards to developers who discover and report the bugs to Google. This is in line with Mozilla’s Security Bug Bounty Program where you can earn US$ 500 for reporting a new bug in the latest version of FireFox , ThunderBird and other software.
Google’s cash reward like Mozilla’s starts from US$ 500 and can go up to US$ 1337. You must be the first to report that bug. Depending upon the severity of the security hole, you will get a suitable reward.
However, in both Mozilla and Chrome, the bug must be in the core browser. Vulnerabilities due to third party software and OS will not be rewarded.
So, there you go; one more reasons to learn hacking.

Now even your Puppy can Tweet
Posted on | January 27, 2010 | No Comments
We have seen some interesting twitter users and innovative applications and gadgets that make Twitter a fun service. But, this innovation is the most offbeat one.
According to CNN, world’s largest toy maker Mattel is making a gadget that will help puppies tweet their message on twitter.
Puppy Tweets is a plastic tag with a sound and motion sensor that you attach to your pet’s dog collar and connect its USB receiver to your computer. Then you create a Twitter account for your dog and enjoy updates all day from Sparky or whatever its name is on your computer or smartphone.
The tag is set with several pre-recorded tweets that are triggered by the dog’s activities. So if he’s running around, you might get a tweet that says “I finally caught that tail I’ve been chasing and…OOUUUCHH!”
You know how much some people love their dogs and how far they would go to pamper and make them feel special. From expensive Loui Vuitton bags to diamond studded collar, some dogs have all the luck. However, this gadget is not that expensive and will cost around US$ 29.
Would you buy this for your dog? If you do make sure you give me his twitter link. Woof !!!

With Apple about to announce its latest revolutionary product – the Tablet PC, its share value and earnings is bound to rise several times. But importantly, it will help many freelance programmers earn a fortune by developing apps for it.
iPhone apps are developed in Objective C. However, there is an python implementation too. According to Wikipedia, Objective C is used only on Apple’s Mac OS x and iPhone OS.
Now with a tablet PC being added to its stable, the developers will have more flexibility and CPU power than the iPhone to develop killer apps. Already it is rumoured that the print media is looking forward to find a way to generate revenue from tablet PC.
So what is objective c? It is an OOP language which adds smalltalk like messaging to C. Here is a Primer on the language from apple and more detailed here.

Search for Jobs on Twitter
Posted on | January 25, 2010 | No Comments
Twitter has evolved from being just about status update to a productivity tool for many. There are several cool apps for twitter from searching from photos and video to products.
Latest is the job search application from TwitJobSearch.com. Its algorithm searches for jobs posted by recruiters in the twittersphere.
To post jobs just tweet about the job and give the link, their robots would do the rest. You can create a profile for yourself, by signing in using twitter, for finding a job. You can post jobs to find employees, too. I think you can initially only apply for 5 jobs per day.
TweetDeck and TwitJobSearch.com have launched JobDeck a desktop app to search for jobs.
Is targeted traffic really important?
Posted on | January 22, 2010 | No Comments
Consider this example. There is a lazy village or a small town in the country side. There is a food stall, CD shop and sports goods shop. These places will be frequented by their patrons and new customers which might increase or decrease on daily basis. But that place has been declared as a host for a popular sporting event or a musical concert. There will be a huge jump in the visitors to the village resulting in more customers to these shops.
Case a> If it is a sport event, these new visitors are more likely to buy sports goods benefiting the sports shop but few might even purchase stuff from the CD shop.
Case b> In case of musical event the reverse would happen. However, the sports shop will not benefit much from this scenario as CD shop had done in case a.
Only food stall will benefit, irrespective of the events held. This shows that in order to sell certain products, targeted traffic is not important. Same is with online venture. It depends on what you sell that targeted traffic is required.
How to shorten your URL using Google’s Goo.gl
Posted on | January 4, 2010 | No Comments
Google has launched its own url shortening service Goo.gl. However, Google URL Shortener is currently available for Google products and not for broader consumer use.
There is, fortunately, a trick to get your blog url shortened using Goo.gl. You must use Feedburner for your feeds. Just go to your Feeds -> Publicize -> Socialize and add a twitter account. Whenever you write a new post in your blog, Feedburner will automatically tweet it with the url shortened using Goo.gl.
You can then just copy it from your twitter stream and share it with your friends.
Do you have any other trick? Please share it in the comments section.
Update: Here is the shortened version of this blog post – http://goo.gl/fb/crP6

HTML5 to include- rel=”noreferrer”
Posted on | January 3, 2010 | 7 Comments
HTML5 is going to include the tag rel=”noreferrer” . This tag will strip out the referrer information. That is the browser will not detect the referrer page. Mark Pilgrim writes in Dive into HTML5
rel=”noreferrer” “indicates that no referrer information is to be leaked when following the link.” No shipping browser currently supports this, but support was recently added to WebKit nightlies, so it will eventually be showing up in Safari, Google Chrome, and other WebKit-based browsers
It’s only use I think would be for BlackHat forums who will not want the target webmaster to know his source of traffic.
What do you think its use would be? Write in the comments.
