I've mentioned the photo sharing site flickr many times as an example of how much is possible right now in terms of building very sophisticated application-like web interfaces.

Here is an interview with flickr CEO Stewart Butterfield that is a pretty good explanation of what the site is, and why it has grown so popular.

The Sonos Digital Music System is really cool. If you are a rich person with a big house you should buy this. And then let me come over and play with it. Wow.

I am tempted by this camera phone: Sony / Ericsson S710a.

Google Maps.

I used to equate Google with the ability to build huge data centers out of commodity PCs. But lately I find myself equating them with kick ass web application interfaces. That is a pretty powerful one two punch.

Homograph attacks allow for the spoofing of domain name URLs and SSL certificates thanks to a problem with International Domain Name [IDN] support in modern browsers. This is devastating.

Vulnerable browsers include (but are not limited to):

Most mozilla-based browsers (Firefox 1.0, Camino .8.5, Mozilla 1.6, etc)
Safari 1.2.5
Opera 7.54
Omniweb 5
Proof of concept. Damn. IE is safe because it doesn't have IDN support built in. Let's see how fast these vendors respond. They need to fix this immediately.
