Safari Trackers « Web Policy
"Apple’s Safari web browser is configured to block third-party cookies by default. We identified four advertising companies that unexpectedly place trackable cookies in Safari. Google and Vibrant Media intentionally circumvent Safari’s privacy feature. Media Innovation Group and PointRoll serve scripts that appear to be derived from circumvention example code.

In the interest of clearly establishing facts on the ground, this post provides technical analysis of Safari’s cookie blocking feature and the four companies’ practices."

Privacy in Internet Explorer 6
To successfully use cookies, the privacy features of Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 require Web services to deploy compact policies, as defined by the Platform for Privacy Preferences (P3P) developed by the World Wide Web Consortium. The Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 privacy features filter cookies based on these compact policies, as well as the user's privacy settings. This overview educates Web services on the privacy requirements of cookies associated with their sites and on the cookie filtering implemented in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.

Cross-domain policy file usage recommendations for Flash Player | Adobe Developer Connection
"This article discusses some of the common security issues that you should consider when deciding how to use a cross-domain policy file on your server. In general, websites using cross-domain policy files increase their security exposure. This is because the cross-domain policy file used by Flash Player allows access to information by more domains than are allowed in the default configuration. As with any security mechanism, use of the cross-domain policy requires careful analysis of the proposed application architecture and threat model to understand potential risks."

My goal with this post is to save people some time by showing the complete step-by-step process of building a Python script that can tweet from the command line using OAuth. I’ve intentionally skipped over the details of how OAuth works and what all the different authentication tokens mean. This post is just about getting things done.

Carlos Bueno: Measuring Javascript Parse and Load
"Any savvy web developer can tell you how many kilobytes their code consumes. They bundle, minify, compress and tune the data sent out to within an inch of its life. Wire weight is easy to measure and has a direct impact on your application's launch time. But how many milliseconds does it take the user's computer to parse and load your code once it's arrived? What differences are there between CPUs, operating systems, browsers and plugins? What speed leaks are we overlooking?"
