Blog: Når Google-søgninger bestemmer verdensøkonomien: "Hvordan har du det med, at algoritmer fra en håndfuld finansielle virksomheder kontrollerer børsmarkederne? Og at Google-søgninger er med til at bestemme algoritmernes salgs- og købsordrer?"

A new search engine has come to our attention this week. Not that there is not enough search engines on the web these days, but this one is a little special.

Hackers are used to crawl the web for potential security leaks, but now it seems that someone think that it should be more common to the public to find the same information.

Starting this week SHODAN make there search engine available to the public, i.e. with a few key strokes and common knowledge about internet security your first hacker attempt could be possible.

Example: To find a Linksys router in Denmark that is configured with default username and password takes less then 1 minute.

What the information is going to be used for we can only imagine, but my best guess is that quite a few people would feel tempted to go "all the way"

Is it so hard to do something positive with such a tool? Why not warn the owners of the web sites about the security risk they have - not only to have there own servers and intranets hacked BUT also the security risk they oppose to the complete internet community by allowing botnets and other evil stuff to work from there sites.

At TechnologyCrawler we will try to take the positive approach!
Do any of our readers have good ideas how to approach the problem ?- please leave a comment

This is a small test of embedding a Wave in a blog, i.e. the readers of Technology Crawler should be able to see realtime editing of the blogpost!!!
There are some minor bugs during the process....but. REMEMBER THIS IS A PREVIEW version of Google Wave, we will get there.
At the moment it seem that it is only possible to see the Wave if you are logged-in with a Wave account, i.e it is not yet public...working on the problem...This is due to the enhancement issue #154...so we have to wait for a solution.

... Until Isue #154 is solved I will temporarily add a desktop recording so that non-Wave members can see what is going on. I have not been so thrilled since I tried the www for the first time...this will be great!!!

Stay tuned :-)

XML is a general-purpose specification for creating custom mark-up languages. It is classified as an extensible language because it allows its users to define their own elements. Its primary purpose is to help information systems share structured data, particularly via the Internet, and it is used both to encode documents and to serialize data. In the latter context, it is comparable with other text-based serialization languages such as JSON and YAML. As a diverse platform, Java has several solutions for working with XML. This refcard provides developers a concise overview of the different xml processing technologies in Java, and a use case of each technology.

Features include XML File Sample, Parsing Techniques, XML Structure, XPath, Hot Tips and more.

With this video you can see how Salesforce.com imagine the use of Google Wave. The background story for the video can be found here

SAP has also seen the possibilities in Google Wave and made a prototype on collaborative business Process Modelling. See the rationale for embracing Google wave and a stunning demo Video of the Wave in action.

So, beside of the 30.000 developers trying to be in the forefront in the development of Google Wave and potential getting a stake in the new technology, it is great to see that some of the big vendors also see a potential in collaboration.

From a management perspective it is a real case study of modern global software development to see the 2 danish brothers, Lars and Jens Rasmussen, manage such a huge resource-pool prototyping there way through analysis, architecture, design, implementation in iterations and at the same time keeping the business and media circus happy, e.g. During the last week Microsoft helplessly had to watch the flagship, Internet explorer, being high jacked with the Google Chrome Frame. Thereby Google potentially gained access to further 70 % of the browser marked enabling the company to introduce Google Wave in a scale nobody thought possible
