Yahoo Attempts to Fight Phishing With Sign-In Seal

Earlier today I read that the new Yahoo Mail is open to all. So I decide to check it out. But even before I logged in, I noticed something different. The top right corner of the login box read “Prevent Password Theft”


I clicked on it and was redirected to a page that read the following:

Protect users on this computer against password theft with a sign-in seal.
A sign-in seal is a secret message or photo that Yahoo! will display on this computer only. Look for it every time you sign in to make sure you're on a genuine Yahoo! site. If the message, photo, or colors are different, you may have landed on a phishing site.

Pick Your Boss

This morning on my way to work I heard the results of an interesting survey over the radio. I have no clue as to who conducted this survey or where the results are published. The results are as follows:

1. 75% of the females interviewed preferred a male boss over a female boss

2. If they had to pick a female boss, most of them said they would pick Oprah Winfrey

3. If they had to pick a male boss, most of them said they would pick BILL GATES

Can a few people from Microsoft please confirm that it would indeed be a wise decision? The announcer said that he treats his employees very well.

Note: I thought of posting the exact same survey here on my blog, but ruled against it when I recollected that females don’t read this blog.

Flying Images

I found this script making rounds of the social networking site that I frequent. Here is what you do: Browse to any website with a few images. Copy the script below in the address bar of your browser and hit enter.

javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300;y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.images;DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0;i<DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style;DIS.position='absolute';DIS.left=Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5;DIS.top=Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5}R++}setInterval('A()',5); void(0)

Note: I dont know the orignal source of the script to give credit to the author.

Happy Birthday Boss

Myself and three other co-workers decided to play this office prank on our boss on his birthday today. Last night we reached office at around 9:00 PM armed with sticky note, aluminum foil, memo notes etc. This operation took about an hour and $10.

If you are my office secretary please note that office supplies were not used for this prank.









I’m sure you guys have played better office pranks. If you have pictures or videos please post links in the comments.
