From The Danger Room:The U.S. military is strongly considering a near-total ban on Twitter, Facebook, and all other social networking sites throughout the Department of Defense, multiple sources within the armed forces tell Danger Room.
It’s the latest twist in the Defense Department’s tangled relationship with so-called “Web 2.0″ sites.

My Comment: I expect Facebook, Twitter, and other social networking sites to start protecting their platforms very soon. The negative publicity that hackers are giving to these networks .... including critical comments from institutions like the U.S. military .... will only help to speed this process up.
Personally .... I hope the Pentagon does not act to quickly on this matter. Social networks play a crucial and important role in maintaining the moral of our troops. Banning it will only hurt everyone.

ReplyDeleteA GUI can be used with Sikuli. Sikuli is an open siurce scripting application that will use a mix of simple commands like click, type, wait and so on. There's no internal API support, it simply searches the screen for the image in the screenshot-which implies that you can use it for anything. There is literally no limit on how you utilize it to automate things.
