You know what would be even faster?

I found this post on Lifehacker via Kurt Wismer , someone whose comments I've kept an eye on for since I started reading the alt.comp.virus newsgroup, which is quite a time ago now. Kurt seems to have the habit of annoying people by simply speaking the truth as he sees it and not spending too much...

Netscape Navigator to die (again?) on Feb 1st 2008.

Ah the death of Netscape. I remember it well and I guess I'll miss it, a large part of computer history and my own too I guess, so goodbye and thankyou Netscape Navigator. Just finished reading this blog post on wired that reports that Netscape Navigator is to fold it's tent and slip into the...

Boycott Mac Heist. It really is that simple.

As if they didn't already have a bit of a reputation in some parts, it seems the people behind MacHeist have really decided to sink as low as they can this year. If you're involved with MacHeist in any way, I'd like to take a moment to thank you. I wondered if you were all as big a bunch...

Yet another in the "I get asked this a lot and so finally I decided to write an article" series. This question keeps being asked repeatedly by the victims of hackers breaking into their web server. The answers very rarely change, but people keep asking the question. I'm not sure why. Perhaps...

"Welcome to pwnedatino"

A whole "Month of Apple Bugs" planned here. Interesting. Be sure to read their FAQ before making assumptions about the motives of the people doing it. They've actually started off with a couple of media player bugs, one Apple Quicktime and one in VLC , and both are interesting because could...

Windows Vista Licence terms - say what?

This has got to be a mistake. (Why do I seem to say that a lot recently when reviewing an action taken by Microsoft?) The Windows Vista team blog posted a note about the terms of the licence for Windows Vista the other day, and it contains one or two interesting things. Possibly the most interesting...

Over on the Grand Stream Dreams blog, Claus Valca has written a post outlining the reasons you should take the security of your computers at home seriously.

If you own a Mac, get patching.

And you thought it was just Microsoft products that needed to be patched. Apple have announced the release of update 10.4.8 for 10.4 users and Security Update 2006-006 for 10.3 users.

More WGA madness

I would be really interested to break down the list of complainants to find out what portions are made up of the following groups People who'll moan and whine about anything Microsoft do (sorry dudes I meant to...
