"How Do I?" Videos for Security from MSDN - Amazing Resource

Hola!!!! It has been a long time, I've written anything on security, the last post you saw from me(Beware while using GMail) This is a kind of resource I have been looking for years. Many times, due to seer desire to be pure evil or just to have fun of doing something new, I've put my hands in mud of Computer and yes...let me tell you they are dirty. Also I've observed this behavior, especially .Net developers, they tend to ignore one important aspect of any Project Development Lifecycle i.e. Application Security. Reason behind them are mostly lack of awareness at entry level(colleges) as well as Professional level(seminars on security? sounds funny, Project Development, discussion groups etc). I must say that NOT all of the developers ignore security but yes majority of them only do it when a tester finds it out or the project sign off explicitly demands it. Anywayz here is a set of excellent resources that will provide you insight on .Net Security.

Why Google Group should still be in BETA!!!

Many a times people blame me to be a "M$ and rest of the world", while upto certain extent it is true, but then I like to be truthful, I love to go and get the best. For people who don't know me well, my default search engine is Google. Also, after my corporate M$ Exchange A/C, it's Gmail and blogging site I use is Blogger. In discussion groups I use Google Groups and sometimes.. yes sometimes 'cause this is something that keeps hitting me in the face since we have started. The UI is simple..true..but what good is UI if its not working at all? Apart from other dirty problems I face, one thing I must tell you guys is the search within the group, it sucks...so much I don't have words.(Infact, I have but I cant use them here. :P).
