Illegal software installed at Greece’s second biggest mobile phone operator, Vodafone Greece, allowed calls to and from about 100 phones to be recorded. Most belonged to the government but one was owned by the U.S. embassy in Athens, officials said.

What is really suspicious is that Vodafone immediately deleted the “mallicious” software as soon as it discovered it, thus making it impossible to trace the authors or the source of this security breach.
An other interesting point is the topology of the antennas used for the whole operation: they form a triangle with the US embasy in the center of it…
del.icio.us: y.ah.oo!
Great news! Yahoo! is doing some really good moves lately and is moving fast to Web 2.0. (del.icio.us and Flickr, wow, the posibilities are endless!)
Flock, the new web browser rocks! It’s still beta, but soooooo coool!

Apple’s official endorsment of podcasting is something I was not aware of. They have integrated podcast subscriptions into iTunes and are also promoting garageband as the ideal tool for podcast creation! This is good news to all podcasters -and listeners too!
UPDATE: Also read Podcasting Made Easy: FeedBurner support for iTunes, Odeo, and Yahoo Media RSS. I get the feeling that this move by Apple and others will actually make podcasting available to evryone.
I noticed TiddyWiki yesterday. What an amazing piece of software! A small (only one HTML page) wiki you can download to your desktop, add/edit/delete pages as you would do with any Wiki without any need for a server or any “special” environment. It’s all wirtten in javascript and will save the changes back to the original file. Even search works!
Simply brilliant!
Do you think it would make sence to integrate TiddyWikki to the Gnome Deskop?

It works, and it looks nice. I also liked nat friedman’s announcement.
