Google search cheat sheet. Nice. I didn't know about 'date:'. That's something I have really been wanting.

Jon Udell has been making posts in a new style he is calling a screencast. He does it with flash, which I like to bash, but this is a very nice use of the technology. Basically he just talks about something web related and you hear his voice while watching a flash movie of his screen. Here is his most recent screencast which he describes as "a whirlwind tour of del.icio.us from my own perspective as a power user."

Check it out. Screencasts are a great way to explain web related technology, and del.icio.us is an important addition to the blog world that deserves a wider understanding.

Comvu has a Windows Mobile solution for streaming video from your (Windows Mobile) video phone. Here's a slightly more technical page.

I wonder if Quicktime broadcaster will ever run on a phone? Apple seems dangerously shut out of the cellular game. Maybe something like a mobile iSight plus Quicktime broadcaster plus wifi could work, but that would be an extremely niche product compared to a cellphone.

I think streaming video from your phone will be a more compelling app than watching some prepackaged video content on your phone. But we need one of the cellular companies to knock the walls around their garden down a bit. I want to stream to *my* server.

Mr. Technorati, Dave Sifry, has posted a new State of the Blogosphere report compiled from their huge mine of blog data:

Technorati is now tracking over 7.8 million weblogs, and 937 million links. That's just about double the number of weblogs tracked in October 2004. In fact, the blogosphere is doubling in size about once every 5 months. It has already done so at this pace four times, which means that in the last 20 months, the blogosphere has increased in size by over 16 times.

Things don't appear to be letting up either....
Lots more interesting numbers and graphs at the link above.

Samsung a970 EVDO swivel 2-megapixel cameraphone. Or should it be called a camcorderphone?

Very very nice. No release date, but it is coming to the U.S.

New whitepaper from the honeynet project: "Know your Enemy: Tracking Botnets"

Honeypots are a well known technique for discovering the tools, tactics, and motives of attackers. In this paper we look at a special kind of threat: the individuals and organizations who run botnets. A botnet is a network of compromised machines that can be remotely controlled by an attacker. Due to their immense size (tens of thousands of systems can be linked together), they pose a severe threat to the community. With the help of honeynets we can observe the people who run botnets - a task that is difficult using other techniques. Due to the wealth of data logged, it is possible to reconstruct the actions of attackers, the tools they use, and study them in detail. In this paper we take a closer look at botnets, common attack techniques, and the individuals involved.
