Interesting.

Only about a year after the iPhone 3G is released, the iPhone 3G S is released.

So, hands up who got the iPhone 3G?

Not me. Since it was the first version of a product (in Australia), I decided to wait. I’m glad I did.

Will probably cry when the next version comes out next year.

It should be good once it is released in July/August/whenever they can be bothered.

This should be good PROVIDED Microsoft doesn’t do the “Vista” thing – make the Release Candidate (RC) attractive, then cruft it up for major release.

Once it is released, I’ll make up my mind then. Yes, I’m cynical and bordering on harsh but, call it “skeptical”

HOWEVER – IF the RC = major release, then it will be THE BEST WINDOWS RELEASED imo.

How this came about was that I was FORCED to turn off the PC after it froze on me.

Interesting concept to be honest. Let’s try it and find out.

Now, I don’t normally comment on games BUT I feel this has to be an exception.

… as most of you might about a particular long number you might rattle off.

Something like, “I”ll keep your secret for a million, billion, trillion, quadrapillion (years)” would be said and we’d think about how big a number that would be.

Well, assuming, a “quadrapillion” would be a quadrillion, that is 10^32 years.

1 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 years (+/- a factor of 10 )

So, lets hope you didn’t keep that secret.

There is an active exploit within Adobe Acrobat and/or reader versions 7 through 9 (including current version).

For some reason, Adobe (in their less than infinite wisdom) have included Javascript in their Reader and Acrobat software. More »

So, why is this important?

Let me give you an example. More »

If you don’t continuously patch your Windows operating system, you would more than likely be in trouble.
A new vulnerability has been found in Powerpoint that can comprimise your system.

Even if you do, at this time, it remains unpatched.

The biggest defense is your behavoiur.

If you are NOT expecting an attachment OF ANY kind (including Powerpoint files), DELETE THE EMAIL IMMEDIATELY WITHOUT VIEWING IT!!!!

Provided you have the permissions, you can add or delete a service in Windows XP.
