I'm sure some of you may be aware of the situation But as of yesterday (May 1, 2010) at around 2 AM, there was a major hack attempt on GoDaddy. At about 10 AM, GoDaddy Tweeted about this matter (See Tweet: http://twitter.com/GoDaddy/status/13199601776). The issue has not affected all of their hosting accounts and is still being investigated. The issue is not due to a flaw in WordPress as GoDaddy claims, a friend has a site that only has her own hand written PHP code and nothing more. Despite taking my friend is super obsessive about security and knows for a fact her FTP account was not compromised, she found all the PHP files on her server to be infected, even those not publicly available.
When you view the source of any of the PHP pages through the browser, you see the following line inserted just before the </body> tag:
I don't really understand what this code exactly does. Can any PHP code experts decipher it?
GoDaddy claimed they will investigate the issue but when my friend called, she found the tech support staff were completely oblivious to the matter.
So, if you are one of the unlucky ones whose server was a part of the attack, please check the bottom of your source code to make sure the <script> tag isn't there. Otherwise contact GoDaddy and complain.
I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.
I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree.
What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.
The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu.
The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.
