HTML5 Exploit Can Allow Websites To Fill Up Your Hard Drive

Browsing websites on the Internet could be a great experience, depending on what kind of content you’re searching for. Conducting research for a term paper may not be as rewarding as browsing Reddit, but the process is still the same: input a website address, get to said website. But a recently revealed HTML5 exploit shows some websites can fill your computer’s hard drive with junk data. A lot of junk data.

Web developer Feross Aboukhadijeh created FillDisk.com in order to demonstrate the exploit in HTML5. The Web Storage standard used in HTML5 allows any website to place large amounts of data on your computer’s drive, which could result in a lot of frustration as the user will probably continually wonder why their hard drives are completely out of disk space.

Web browsers have the ability to limit just how much space websites can dump onto your hard drive, with Mozilla Firefox being able to intelligently know how much a website should be loading onto the hard disk at a time. Other browsers, such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Apple Safari and Opera currently have no storage limits, although we hope now that this exploit has been publicized, the developers of these web browsers would look into patching their software so our computer hard disks can stay from being clogged up with junk data.

Google: 'Gangnam Style' earns $8 million for YouTube

Google said Tuesday that the YouTube page showcasing the "Gangnam Style" video by South Korean rapper Psy has reaped more than $8 million in ad revenue.
Google Chief Business Officer Nikesh Arora revealed the figure while discussing the money-making potential of YouTube during a quarterly earnings call with financial analysts.

Ad revenue from popular YouTube videos is shared with creators of the content.

In December, "Gangnam Style" became the first video to break a billion views on YouTube, marking a historic milestone on the Internet.

A counter at the YouTube page showed that the music video has been watched more than 1.23 billion times since it was uploaded in July of last year.

Kevin Allocca, YouTube's trends manager, attributed Psy's success "to the universal appeal of catchy music and er, great equine dance moves."

"Gangnam" is estimated to have earned the rapper millions more from digital downloads, advertising deals and on-demand services.

The song which refers to a trendy Seoul district spawned a mini tribute video industry, complete with copycats.

The quirky star, whose real name is Park Jae-Sang, won adulation in his homeland for the global hit and was awarded one of South Korea's highest cultural honors, the Okgwan Order of Cultural Merit.
