Microsoft News Update
Microsoft news of the past few days: Media Player 9 is the subject of a few articles, including one on its integrated digital restrictions and one on changes in its privacy options. Microsoft is releasing certain API's, and is releasing a service pack for Windows XP, under the requirements of its antitrust settlement with the Federal Gov't. On the downside, code to crash any modern Windows machine with NetBIOS enabled is now floating around the net, and there's been more publicity of the vulnerabilities in Microsoft IIS/SSL.
I fail to see how slagging of Microsoft is supposed to be "journalism". I want news, stuff I don't know yet and I care about. If I wanted to hear a guy rant about how bad Microsoft is, I'd record myself after my computer suffered yet another crash and plays that back.
Besides, it's funny how this doesn't mention anything like, the OpenSSL trojan/crack, or the fact Konquerer was affected by the same SSL bug as IE some times ago and why not mention the recent Apache bugs as well? Then again, who am I to expect anything but biased journalism from you people...
Hate me!
OK, so if there was a bug in Mozilla's HTTP pipelining which caused your OS to crash, who would you blame - the Mozilla team, or those 'morons' who switched on HTTP pipelining ?
all mediaplayer 'upgrades' have really been downgrades ;) the 'compact mode' of the newer one's is just plain shite, with the little box floating around the screen.

Lol I really touched a nerve there. Somebody used up 3 of their mod points to smack me down. Damn me for making an observation about what I see!! Don't provide an alternative point of view or anything, you got those mod points to burn! Use'em like bullets!
This'll get modded down too even though I'm defending my previous post.
"Derp de derp."
