"An object is an unordered set of name/value pairs." and the list of values would be a list of strings, numbers etc. ]]> tag:learningremix.net,2007:/w2007integ/dmcalpin//21.1730 2007-04-19T02:43:28Z 2007-04-19T02:51:41Z

According to Microsoft Security Advisory (935964), the flaw can be exploited remotely by sending a malformed Remote Procedure Call (RPC) packet to a vulnerable computer. Microsoft it is working on a patch for the flaw, but would not commit to delivering an out-of-cycle patch. Its next regularly scheduled round of patches is about three weeks away, on May 8. Malicious code quickly found its way onto the internet. W32.Rinbot.BC, was the first worm to utilize the exploit.

This is a continuing trend that effects companies such as Adobe, who publish Adobe Photoshop. A program that many photographers once used to edit their pictures for such reasons as reducing red-eye or blurring a background. Now there is less of that needed because people don't print off their pictures, the just toss them online, where those little adjustments that were once mandatory, go unnoticed.

This Expo ran from April 15 to 18 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, and as many as 10,000 people were expected to attend. This expo will covered topics necessary to start up your own Web 2.0 site, including topics such as "the elementary (web 2.0 fundamentals) to the complex and critical (web operations)." I think that everyone in Bud's class has learned how exciting web 2.0 can be, and also, we now have a great understanding of how to use the technology. It's great that this type of conference is going on too, to get people to understand, accept, and use web 2.0.

Strength: Its great for those who drink starbucks 4 times a day to be able to find a great coffee place right where they are. And its also good that people can add new places, by emailing you. Weakness: Adding a new place would be sweet if it was automated, and as soon as someone fills out a form, that the marker shows up on the map. Also, see if you can implement the pictures onto the main page, maybe at the bottom of the map, if someone clicks on a starbucks, then pics of starbucks show up or something.

Great site, i think its cool that you can keep a list of places you like online, and share them with friends. Strengths: Great layout, very easy on the eyes. good mashup that is simple yet useful. Weakness: Use Case: I entered my name, map was centered on somewhere in california. i then typed in "shoes brighton, mi" which then provided a list of shoe stores in brighton. but the map did not change location, nor was i able to add anything to my favorites list when clicking on the add part under each item. so i then typed in buds name after refreshing the site. the map is still centered on california, but i click on one of his favorite places. the map then centers on somewhere in ypsi which is good, but im not able to add any new favorites to his places. my questions are... 1. am i just not able to create a new user and add favorite places yet, or is this a bug? 2. Do you have the ip address locator working or is it that if it cant get my ip address, it defaults to california. 3. im not sure why the "add to my favorite places" button/link isnt working. Overall great site, just some bugs to work out, i hope you guys get the third column, that our guest suggested, for iteration 3. tag:learningremix.net,2007:/w2007integ/dmcalpin//21.1489 2007-04-04T22:06:45Z 2007-04-04T22:15:21Z

The map zoomed in nicely also, right on the ann arbor area. Weakness: The map has about an inch of white space above it, i dont know why. Also, think about the design of your website. Maybe get a header, some background, and other stuff like that in there to make it look nicer.
