08.16.07 by Widge @ 4:26 pm The Deadliest Ball since Phantasm! Inarguably the most highly demanded manga in the last half-decade, the enormously popular seinen manga series, GANTZ, has taken the bright path to Dark Horse. Hiroya Oku, creator of GANTZ, has put together a cast of characters that are both sympathetic and strong to which anyone can relate. The wildly renowned anime, also entitled GANTZ from ADV, primarily follows the same story and has been translated in several different languages captivating audiences all over the world. Gantz tells the story of a team of dead people who are forced to take part in a "game" that has them hunting aliens and other creatures who live among the populace of Japan. The story focuses on Kei Kurono, a teenage boy who died saving a homeless man from a train. He, along with a band of others who are recently deceased, is forced to complete a series of dangerous and complicated missions by a strange device called Gantz. On these missions characters can even die again, only to be quickly replaced by others like them. As the plot progresses, so does the intricacy of relationships between characters.

08.01.07 by Widge @ 8:10 pm  Checks and Balances for Greater Security Sebastopol, CA—"Deciding to add security to a web application is like deciding whether to wear clothes in the morning," writes security expert Christopher Wells. "Both decisions provide comfort and protection throughout the day, and in both cases the decisions are better made beforehand rather than later." In his new book--Securing Ajax Applications (O'Reilly, $49.99)--Wells explains: "If your application is on the Internet, it is on the front lines of your network. It is like a door to the outside world that allows visitors to come in and check out whatever you have to offer. Your application needs to be secure and you need to be aware of the dangers an application can open to your network." That's why Wells aims to teach web developers and programmers how to make vital security decisions before problems arise. And throughout his new book, Wells also systematically explores methods for maintaining web application security in today's open and creative Web 2.0 environment. And he details how to locate gaps and what to do to plug vulnerabilities before attackers take advantage of them. Categorized as: O'Reilly andPress Releases
