Vista audio hack

February 10th, 2007 Arun Manivannan No comments

Microsoft has recently acknowledged that Vista’s built-in speech recognition software could be exploited by bad guys to delete files and even shut the computer down. This clever hack works something like this: A Vista user downloads and plays a malicious audio file, probably thinking that it a song. Instead, the audio file begins barking commands through the computer’s speakers, such as, “Delete all files in the ‘My Documents’ folder,” or, “System shut down.” These verbal commands are picked up by the computer’s microphone, processed by the built-in speech recognition software, and the computer obeys. Crazy, huh?

Internet Anagram Server

February 10th, 2007 Arun Manivannan No comments

We used to play this game in our school days.. Just pick a large word and find new words by just rearranging those alphabets. Person with the largest number of words wins. Right? Those are anagrams.

eg.

Microsoft Internet Explorer = Expect online terrors from it

Microsoft Windows !! = Ow! Discomfort Wins !
;-)

Now you can just get the list of anagrams for a word just by sending a blank mail to wsmith@wordsmith.org.

Or just visit http://wordsmith.org/anagram/index.html
