Kontakt-Formulare in Drupal 6 anpassen

Auf 11heavens gibt es eine sehr umfangreiche und detaillierte Erklärung für das Theming der Kontakt-Formulare in Drupal 6.

RIA mit BrowserPlus

Yahoo! stellt eine neue/weitere Variante vor Rich Internet Applications zu erstellen: BrowserPlus™

Yahoo! BrowserPlus™ is software that extends the capabilities of your web browser to make richer web experiences possible. Different websites can use BrowserPlus to support things like drag and drop from the desktop, easier file uploads, more efficient and secure acquisition of feeds and information, and native desktop notifications. BrowserPlus is a technology designed to “extend the web,” so that developers can build more exciting web applications and so end-users can get more done inside their web browser.

Wirklich testen kann man das noch nicht, da der Code zur Zeit nur auf Yahoo! Domains läuft. Ich bin ja mal gespannt.

Der Gläserne Kunde

Times Online berichtet über eine etwas andere Art Bewegungsprofile durch Handy-Signale zu erstellen.

Customers in shopping centres are having their every move tracked by a new type of surveillance that listens in on the whisperings of their mobile phones.

The technology can tell when people enter a shopping centre, what stores they visit, how long they remain there, and what route they take as they walked around.

The device cannot access personal details about a person’s identity or contacts, but privacy campaigners expressed concern about potential intrusion should the data fall into the wrong hands.

The surveillance mechanism works by monitoring the signals produced by mobile handsets and then locating the phone by triangulation – measuring the phone’s distance from three receivers.

Straftat Verschlüsseln

annalist zeigt zwei krasse Beispiele wo die Tatsache dass verschlüsselt wurde offensichtlich völlig ausreichend für repressive Maßnahmen war:

Am 14. Mai traf es zwei Studenten in Nottingham. Ein von einer US-Regierungsseite runtergeladenes Al-Quaeda-Handbuch: sechs Tage U-Haft, Hausdurchsuchungen, Handys beschlagnahmt. Einer von beiden ist jetzt mit Abschiebung bedroht. (via)

In Österreich wurden am 21. Mai 23 Wohnungen durchsucht und 10 Menschen festgenommen. Aus der Presseerklärung dazu:

“Gegen zwölf Personen, bei denen Hausdurchsuchungen stattgefunden haben, liegen Haftbefehle vor. Begründet werden diese mit Verdunkelungsgefahr, da die Betroffenen zb mit verschlüsselten Mails kommuniziert haben sowie Tatbegehungsgefahr, weil die Betroffene teilweise seit langem in der Tierrechtsszene aktiv sind.”
