There’s a lot of silent-era stuff, but also a rich vein of kitsch trash, including clunkers from Ed Wood (Plan 9 from Outer Space), George Romero (Night of the Living Dead) and a Russian psychotronic/cult/camp sci-fi oddity called Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women.
SUNNYVALE, California — In its latest acquisition of a social networking service, internet powerhouse Yahoo on Friday chomped down on del.icio.us, a startup that enables people to more easily compile and share their favorite content on the web.
The Sunnyvale, California-based company didn’t disclose how much it paid for New York-based del.icio.us because the purchase price wasn’t large enough to have a significant impact on its finances.
Del.icio.us will continue to run its own website, which allows users to create a personal account so they can create a page devoted to their favorite online articles, music and reviews. The material can be shared with others simply by sending along the web link. The content also can be identified with labels, or “tags,” to make it simpler to find.
More than 300,000 users have signed up for the service since del.icio.us’ inception two years ago, founder Joshua Schachter said in a Friday phone interview. Schachter intends to work at Yahoo’s headquarters, but del.icio.us’ other eight employees will be scattered around the country.
During the past year, Yahoo has been adding more tools that promote sharing among friends and family as it battles for web traffic with its biggest rivals — Google, Microsofts MSN and Time Warner’s AOL. All of them are trying to widen their internet audiences so they can make more money from steadily increasing volume of online advertising.
Yahoo’s other recent social networking acquisitions include a popular photo-tagging service, Flickr, and an event-planning service, Upcoming.org.
Yahoo! is throwing their hat in the ring, adding Voice over IP features to the upcoming Yahoo Messenger release. With way too many players on the field, there’s bound to be some kind of shakeout coming, right?
Every security savvy professional lives with the daily fear of the “never expiring password” being exposed. It’s the unspoken taboo, the wide open back door in every corporate network. But no-one ever acknowledges it or discusses it. All applications have got pre-defined passwords that never change. Which means developers, privileged users and hosting third party service providers will all have access to these passwords.
