Get you girlfriend / wife in the view-finder

July 22nd, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Misc

Looking for a new camera to take a few snaps of your girlfriend / wife?
Well… then you should take a look at the new Nikon D700 if you got US$2999 or €2599 for the camera body only, but what you get is a high tech camera that will last for many years and give you tons of great pictures of your girlfriend / wife.

The D700 extends Nikon’s range of FX format SLRs, incorporating groundbreaking technologies and performance into a discreetly-sized body. The highly sensitive 12.1 megapixel CMOS sensor provides an (extendable) ISO range of 200 to 6400 and features a self-cleaning dust-reduction unit. Its EXPEED image processing engine enables the capture of images with superb detail and tonal gradation at up to 5 fps (8 fps with the optional MB-D10 battery pack and EN-EL4a battery). The advanced Scene Recognition System delivers superior exposures and is supported by Nikon’s acclaimed 51-point AF system, which offers outstanding tracking accuracy even in low light. The selectable Picture Controls streamline in-camera image processing, saving time in post-production, and a high definition 3-inch LCD screen supports two Live View modes plus an HDMI video output. Protected by a tough, environmentally-sealed magnesium alloy body, the D700 is a perfectly-balanced DSLR that can handle the unexpected, wherever your photography takes you.

What is Phishing?
by Eck

Phishing is the act of gaining information such as passwords, credit card details, and other sensitive information by pretending to be a trustworthy company/business.

Commonly Phishers use email and sometimes instant messaging, whilst masquerading as, for example;  Paypal, Ebay or a well known bank. A common trick is to apparently link to a legimate site, while actually re-directing you to an identical looking fake site, where you will be asked to give information such as your banking details/username/password etc.

Note, that by using Javascript for instance, the Phisher can even make it appear that you are on the real site by placing a false address in your address bar. More in-depth methods include cross-site scripting, where the Phisher makes use of holes in a legitimate website’s scripts to gain information from you.

It can become very in-depth, (more than someone with my basic computing knowledge can explain.)

Rapidshare Phishing:

On adult forums the main threat is from Phishers who want to get hold of the accounts of Rapidshare premium members. Non premium members are also a major target as the false Rapidshare website will contain a link for opening a premium account. Obviously entering your credit card/paypal details into this false website will lose you money….
