70 Terabytes of Homebrewed Storage is a Beautiful Mess
Many of us know the feeling where all the digital storage we have at home is just not enough for our photos, movies and music. So just how much storage do you need?

Flickriver is a fun way to browse through Flickr photos
Flickriver was briefly mentioned on Download Squad back in 2007, but it really deserves its own post.
It's a very simple interface for browsing Flickr photos which displays a bunch of photos on the page, and you scroll down to view them. As you near the bottom, more photos are loaded so that you can just keep scrolling. This is by no means a new trick, but I find it very convenient and easy to use. What's nice about it is that it pre-loads four images at a time, so I don't find myself waiting for the next image when I want to view it.
You can search by photo, group, user, tag, or location, and then you can sort the results according to relevance, recency, or "interestingness." The whole thing is very low-key; it has a dark background, an uncluttered interface, and the bare minimum of JavaScript required to make it work. You won't find anything sliding around, fading in and out, or being overly modern.
Flickriver just gives you the photos you want to look at, with no frills.

DIY Friday: How to Make a USB Foot Pedal For Third-Hand Computing
Matt Richardson’s friend Lauren wanted a device to hold down the down arrow and physically scroll through Google Reader, like a sustain pedal on a piano. Matt built it for her using an old USB keyboard, wire, solder and a little DIY invention.
It’s surprising we don’t see foot pedals more often in mainstream desktop computing. [...]

Mozilla pays 12-year-old $3000 for finding critical vulnerability in Firefox
Alex Miller, a 12-year-old from San Jose, California, just cashed a $3000 check for finding a buffer overflow bug in 'document.write'.The bug, which was was one the major security vulnerabilities fixed in this week's releases of Firefox 3.6.11 and 3.5.14, was discovered by Alex after spending 'about 90 minutes each day for 10 days'. In other words, he pored through code for 15 hours and made $3000, or $200 per hour. Not bad for a 12-year-old!
If you want to get in on the bug bounty hunting action -- because let's face it, if a kid can find a bug in 15 hours, an adult could do it much faster -- just head on over to Mozilla Developer Central. Check out the Firefox source and start looking!
