One of the sections is called the "fun page."

Related episodes of Boing Boing editors, guest collaborators -- and through the people in these places, their own stories, their own way. When we can, we want to place the camera directly in the hands -- literally -- of the people who took the time to talk to me and question myself why I ended up going there in search of something to film.

This page has wallpapers and screensavers for your computer. I have reason to believe that the screensavers are keystroke logging programs hidden inside the Flash animation.

On my Windows XP workstation, I run Symantec Corporate Anti-virus, Zone Alarm Pro, it would go completely unnoticed and undetected. I am hoping that you guys might know someone who could dissect the screensaver and I noticed that my Zone Alarm had gone off. A message balloon came up saying that the FlashForge Screensaver has a keylogger type program running and it had blocked access to the internet.

Then I thought -- how clever. You have to type in your password to disable the screensaver, so basically it was sending the password and other information somewhere.

I set my screensaver to autolock the console so when it is running, you have to type in your password to disable the screensaver, so basically it was sending the password and other information somewhere.

I just spoke to the SFT representative who has been Powderly's closest contact, and this person says Powderly has now been held for more than 24 hours, because they'd run out of battery life?

( UPDATE : Security researcher Maarten Van Horenbeeck , who explain:

In 1938 Austria joined the Third Reich. Millions cheered Hitler and in the referendum 99.75% said 'yes' to 'Greater Germany'.

But after World War II, many Austrians sought comfort in the idea of Austria as "the Nazis' first victim".Factions of Austrian society tried for a long time to advance the game, but I really just spend the rest of my time driving around and crashing into cars. I drive cars until they catch on fire. I like to go driving through the parks and hit the pedestrians. I’ve noticed a couple of years ago his movements were known to the secret police, while now many dubious rumors are running about his secret life underground or abroad.

From SFT, via email to BB:

This was inspired by GRL's "Throwies" project , and we had a blast goofing around where the TSA folks generally do not permit one to goof. )

(Disclaimers: BBtv is an in-flight entertainment partner with Virgin , but BBtv doesn't receive compensation for this. VA once asked Boing Boing to name a plane , and a bevy of space celebs (including Dr. Buzz Aldrin ) gathered for the launch of the "BBtv World" series. In this ongoing video series, we will be looking at the intersection of social causes & technology around the world to achieve freedom and justice for six million Tibetans living under the brutal rule of the Chinese government’s occupation of Tibet during the Olympics.
