EU TechCrunch Hosting JavaScript Exploit
I was browsing TechCrunch on facebook this afternoon and clicked through an article about facebook's testing of Places in the UK. I clicked on the link in facebook and was directed to eu.techcrunch.com as usual. After reading the first part of the article I decided to click on "Read the rest of this entry" and what happened next was a bit of a surprise.
As I was browsing in Chrome, a nice big red notification came up on the screen warning me that the site I was going to is hosting malware. I thought, this is techcrunch, it must just be a fluke. So I took my chances and proceeded anyway.
Then after just a moment, AVG confirms that indeed there is malware on the site. What is going on TechCrunch?

Robbie Williams - Celebrating 20 Years In Music 1990-2010
Robbie Williams releases a brand new single “Shame” on Virgin Records on October 4. The single was co-written with Gary Barlow and is a duet between the two superstars. This is the first time the two of them have ever recorded and performed a duet together and the first time they have written and recorded a song together since Robbie's departure from Take That in 1995.
The single is a brand new track which will feature on the forthcoming Robbie Williams 39-song greatest hits set “In And Out Of Consciousness – The Greatest Hits 1990 - 2010”, to be released on CD and DVD on Virgin Records on October 11. The album is spread over 2 CDs and is the definitive hits collection of one of the biggest superstars to have emerged from the UK in the last 20 years.
With a staggering 57 million album sales and 11 million singles sold, Robbie Williams has been breaking records over the course of his whole career. 7 No 1 UK albums meant he is easily the biggest selling solo artist in UK history, a fact reinforced by his 2010 Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution To Music. In fact, with a tally of 16, he has won more Brits than any other artist since the awards began, including ‘Angels’ being voted the best single of the last 25 years. A plethora of other record-breaking awards include a Guinness World Record for fastest ever ticket sales, coupled with the honour of playing the largest open-air concert in UK history, at Knebworth in 2003 have meant that his status as a live performer has equalled his massive achievements as a recording artist.
Robbie’s current studio album “Reality Killed The Video Star” was released in the UK in November last year and has now sold a million copies in the UK alone. The album also achieved the third highest week 1 sales of any album in the UK last year, narrowly beaten by JLS and the phenomenon that is Susan Boyle.
Robbie Williams said: “It’s incredible to listen to the album and realise that it’s already been 20 years of making music and playing gigs. And the great thing about the album is that it’s not only a celebration of my past but also a bridge to the future. The fact that part of the future includes a name from my past makes it all the more poignant for me”.

How to get Americans to watch Football during the FIFA World Cup - Video
With the England vs US match today I think this is very appropriate for the circumstances. Below this is a comment written by someone talking about how Americans don't get football (soccer). There are some good comments there. Check out the link below to the original post to read all of them.
This was written by THE GAFFER over at EPL Talk back in Dec 2008
To most Americans, feet are a very foreign object. Americans use their hands in American football, basketball, baseball and even ice hockey. Those ten toes are good for running, but that’s about it. It’s no wonder that most American children are raised to correlate sporting prowess with the ability to master the use of one’s hands.
Sometimes it’s easy to overlook the obvious, but one of the major reasons why soccer hasn’t caught on with the mainstream in the United States is because of this major difference. If you talk to some neanderthal Americans, some of them will raise this difference and will laugh at the notion of using feet instead of hands.
It makes you wonder what Americans use their feet for, other than walking.
Sitting in a waiting room recently, a woman next to me dropped her cellphone. As we both noticed it falling, in what seemed like slow motion, I quickly moved my leg out to cushion the blow and prevented it from smashing to pieces against the stone floor. To me, it was a typical soccer move, bringing the “ball” under control. But if I was American and brought up on a hefty diet of the gridiron, I wouldn’t know what to have done to save it. My feet would have been stuck motionless.
Americans must think that using feet is like a novelty item you’d find in a carnival or circus. They stand in amazement when feet are used to accomplish anything other than walking. Then they laugh about it, and return to normalcy the day after.
Why is it do you think that American sports refrain from using feet other than running? Was this by design or by accident? Click the comments link below and let us know.
