test using WordPress for Windows 7
ugh! WordPress for Windows [Phone] 7 is awful and nearly unsuable.
I’m completing this blog post using MarsEdit. WordPress for Windows Phone 7 is a total mess. Text fields and buttons are difficult to get access to because they are blocked by a keyboard that refuses to move. It is difficult to type text because the app only works in portrait mode. It does not reorient for typing in landscape mode. It also inserted spaces in odd places throughout the blog entry. Finally, it does not appear to have any facility to resize photos before uploading.

Firesheep WiFi Insecurity: Why the Sky Isn’t Falling
I noticed a discussion about Firesheep last night but didn’t read the details until this morning before driving in to the office. If you read an item like this one, you might be under the impression that the sky is falling. It isn’t. Phew, I know.
How To: Avoid Getting Fleeced By Firesheep
http://thenextweb.com/ca/2010/10/27/dont-get-the-wool-pulled-over-your-eyes-avoiding-a-firesheep-fleecing/Firesheep is a Firefox browser plugin that lets you hijack other people’s accounts/sessions on services like Twitter and Facebook. This is mostly a problem when on open WiFi networks. (no WPA/WPA2 security). But, really, it can happen on any network where someone decides to run Firesheep and hijack sessions. So, what does it really do and what can be done about it? So, I turned to the writings of a security expert whose opinion I trust to get another perspective, Bruce Schneier.
Firesheep
His advice is relatively simple: Protect yourself by forcing the authentication to happen over TLS. Or stop logging in to Facebook from public networks. Schneier points to a relatively simple fix for Firefox browser users described on TechCrunch.
How To Protect Your Login Information From Firesheep
http://techcrunch.com/2010/10/25/firesheep/A simple way that doesn’t even require installing a plug-in is to manually type https:// (SSL) instead of http:// (no “sâ€) when accessing Twitter & Facebook. I just tried it with both services and verified that they have it working with valid certificates.

Podcast 43: Dictionary.com Mobile User App Behavior Research
In Podcast 43 I speak with Dictionary.com President Shravan Goli. The main topic of this 32 minute 49 second is Dictionary.com’s recent research in how users of different mobile platforms use their mobile apps. Dictionary.com provides mobile apps for the iPhone/iPad, Android, and BlackBerry. The combined download for their apps is over 11 million. About 6.8 million of those downloads have been the iPhone version. The iPad version of their app has been downloaded by 300,000 users (there are about 2 million total iPad users).
Dictionary.com plans to release an API for mobile app developers in 6 to 8 weeks. This will let them develop word games and other word related apps based on Dictionary.com’s word list.
