iWiW around the world · 2 November 2007 by Alex Beregszaszi
Altought I dislike iWiW (the oldest/bigest hungarian social network), because of the quality, but this initiate looks promising.
Origo is a news site (with the same owners as iWiW) publicating interviews with iWiW registered users living outside Hungary. They tell what they like or dislike in their new country.

Community based computer recycling · 3 August 2007 by Alex Beregszaszi
Nowadays it is a big issue that used computing equipment is a big source of hazardous waste.
In Hungary electric shops are forced (?) to collect used equipment, which were bought there. For older stuff you have to pay for recycling. Not everyone can afford this and in Budapest we even have a “used trash collection week”, where people just move their unused belongings to the streets and the garbage company will transport it for no fee. Well, this is the idea, but gangs are just fighting for to them interesting stuff found in trash.
Free Geek Vancouver, a canadian geek group solved this problem for computing equipment: they collect hardware for free, only charging $10 for monitors (which are the real hazard).
Flickr security flaw · 2 June 2006 by Alex Beregszaszi
In the Spinner shirt post there was a link to a guy wearing such a shirt. For some reason I looked at the picture again, but now an other part of it was interesting:
Look at the table:

There was a real password on it! Of course I did not tried it, but what if they it is still working?
Flickr = serious security flaw :)
Here is a corresponding article about the SVN on Zac’s blog.
