dabblet is an interactive playground for quickly testing snippets of CSS and HTML code. It uses -prefix-free, so that you won't have to add any prefixes in your CSS code. You can save your work in Github gists, embed it in other websites and share it with others. It currently only supports modern versions of Chrome, Safari and Firefox but I'm hoping to expand browser support soon. It’s handcoded by Lea Verou with care but some other nice folks helped too. Special thanks go to Roman Komarov who helped tremendously with his tips & thorough QA and to David Storey that came up with the name “dabblet”.

Don't "File:///"

Open Radar Community today reported a bug in Apple's Mac systems. According to a post, a eight characters text will crash almost any application on your Mac. When you type "File:///" (The capital 'F' is important) in some Mac application like TextEdit, it will crash the screen. It is figured out that, the bug is inside Data Detectors, a feature that lets apps recognize dates, locations, and contact data, making it easy for you to save this information in your address book and calendar. Since the bug has been reported to Apple, it will likely be patched at some point. A reader copy posted the crash dump at Pastebin.

PlaceRaider: The Military Smartphone Malware Designed to Steal Your Life

The power of modern smartphones is one of the technological wonders of our age. These devices carry a suite of sensors capable of monitoring the environment in detail, powerful data processors and the ability to transmit and receive information at high rates.

So it's no surprise that smartphones are increasingly targeted by malware designed to exploit this newfound power. Examples include software that listens for spoken credit card numbers or uses the on-board accelerometers to monitor credit card details entered as keystrokes.

Today Robert Templeman at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Crane, Indiana, and a few pals at Indiana University reveal an entirely new class of 'visual malware' capable of recording and reconstructing a user's environment in 3D. This then allows the theft of virtual objects such as financial information, data on computer screens and identity-related information.

Templeman and co call their visual malware PlaceRaider and have created it as an app capable of running in the background of any smartphone using the Android 2.3 operating system.
