Interview with an Adware Author

Money quote from Interview with an Adware Author, on Philosecurity:

It was funny. It really showed me the power of gradualism. It’s hard to get people to do something bad all in one big jump, but if you can cut it up into small enough pieces, you can get people to do almost anything.

Via Slashdot. Definitely worth a read. (And note the browser-friendly dark web design.)

Ran across this today:

It's an online slideshow editor, publisher and hosting service with a lot of extras.

Slideshow. Hmmm, yawn. Well, OK, but the UI is very nice, featuring a dark color scheme that avoids competition with the slides while bringing out the colors. It also uses a simplified icon style and a black and gray palette that I've been known to use myself. Very impressive. Denizens of the Dark Web will appreciate the effort that's gone into it. Filing this one under "Works Well with NNL".
