1 edit |  MobiTV closed the security holes
And MobiTV did what they should have from the beginning. They closed their security holes. The sprintTVlive.mcd file is no longer accessible:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /sprintTVlive.mcd on this server. And the actual streaming video links obtained from the above link will no longer play.
Now why didn't they just do that from the beginning?
The secret was out all the way back in May, 2007. They had plenty of time to secure it then.

Everyone knows "Web Sights" were phased out when they got rid of the Big Truck protocol in favour of the Series of Tubes.
This guy must be old school if he still calls them that. |

P.S. "exept"?  |

Perhaps this whole situation was MobiTV's attempt to get some free publicity off the back of HowardForums.

And anyone who knows how to think would've fixed that security update without shutting down/threatening anyone. What do you think Microsoft and other software companies have to do when hackers find ways to crack their products? |

True, but I am in Business Development and the best way to un-develop business is to make "mis-steaks" like that. |

said by Karl Bode :English could be his second language, but even then -- use a spell-checker when conducting professional correspondence with a website you just threatened to take off-line. Using a Spell Checker would not have helped in this case (since "Sight" is a validly spelled word). You'd need to use a Grammar Checker. All Spell Checkers do is verify that the "word" represents the valid spelling of SOME word - Not that is is the CORRECT word for this context - That is the purpose of a Grammar Checker such as the "Spelling and Grammar" tool in MS Office Word. While suggesting that a Spell Checker should be used is a good first step, that does not mean that the failure to find any misspelled words is the end of the process. You still must review the text to spot the use of incorrect words and replace them with the correct word. |

A spell checker would still have approved "sight". It is a correct spelling of a legitimate word. What he needs is a more advanced syntax and context checking tool.

Not many people pay for MobiTV because most people interested in mobile TV have a Slingbox which blows MobiTV out of the water...atleast on a Smartphone/PDA.

The problem,though, is that "sight" is spelled correctly - it's the useage that's the problem (like using "two" instead of "to" or "too"). The spell-check programs I'm familiar with won't catch a properly spelled, but misused word. |
