Never thought of that browsers could recognize such an "IP" address:

http://1113515567/

Actually, the linux wget utility also understands it.

The above obfuscated URL points to IP 66.94.230.47, i.e. one of the www.yahoo.com's servers.

I wouldn't notice this not until a phishing mail to my mailbox uses this technique.  Of course, that mail didn't point me to yahoo but something else.

I used to go to a small cafe nearby the office for checking personal e-mails at lunch.  Well, not all companies allow staffers to use webmail in the office.  As usual, those were Windows PC powerful enough for you to play 3D games.  Actually, it was just too powerful so a lot of patrons just went ahead to install their own messenger software, toolbars, etc.  It didn't make me feel comfortable because there might be spyware or keyloggers installed as well!

Just got this from a friend...  I guess this one is of no secret.  If you google by the word "Wrong Bank", you'll find that it is hosted everywhere.  I am impressed not only by the Thai humor, but also by the advertised subject at the end of the story...

It's nice to have 2 new year celebrations within a month... Have fun!

人家除夕正忙時，
我自挑燈揀舊詩。
莫笑書生太迂腐，
一年功事是文詞。
