Internet Explorer Application Compatibility VPC Image page was updated to include IE8

Microsoft has updated their "Internet Explorer Application Compatibility VPC Image" page to include an IE8 VPC version.

No need to destroy your own computer :)

Use G-Archiver to archive your emails on GMAIL and also to STEAL your username and password

One of my friends (Boaz) at work sent me a link that absolutely amazed me!

Apparently the application called G-Archiver that used to archive your GMail content has a backdoor in the code that actually takes your username and password and sends them to a predefined email account (which means that they are public now)

I downloaded the program also and used reflector to find for the malicious method and actually found it:

Be warned and stop believing to every application that you download :(

MVP on Client Side

I read a nice post on the power shell blog about their new mascot - The robot in the ads for Windows Server 2008 site.

I really loved the impressive graphics and motions, while I was looking at the source of the main page I was a happy to see that they have implemented MVP on the client side.

For each item they have 3 separate JavaScript files for:

  1. Model
  2. View
  3. Presenter

This is what I call doing the extra mile!

This page really encourage me to implement this kind of design also in my project at the client side.

If you know of other sites that done MVP on the client side (even more complex), add a comment with the link
