Postprandial Hot Links
On 24 January, Mozilla disabled the popular “Web Of Trust” (WOT) add-on to the Firefox browser due to security / privacy breaches. Other browsers that allow the add-on (Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari, etc.) are affected as well. The problem was verified by a German team last November, and has yet to be remedied by the WOT engineers.

Alfred Hitchcock’s Storyboards
Storyboards are planning tools, cartoon sketches that depict critical or pertinent scenes in animation, movies (and even amusement park rides). It’s an easy editing process for something that has yet to be filmed, but you already knew that, ya? Have you seen any? Check out these thumbnails.
Jamaica Inn 1936.
Saboteur 1942.
Vertigo 1958.
The Birds 1963.
Marnie 1964.
Family Plot 1976.
Alfred Hitchcock used storyboards for all his movies, and there’s a nice collection here [via].
