Microsoft Takes a 'Patch Tuesday' Break

Phill0 submitted a ZD story about Microsoft's week off which says "Microsoft has no new security updates planned for Tuesday, despite at least five zero-day vulnerabilities that are waiting to be fixed. The patch break could be a welcome respite for IT managers still busy testing the dozen fixes Microsoft released last month. Also, many IT pros may be occupied with the switch to daylight saving time, which at the behest of Congress, is happening three weeks earlier this year. "

Wel,, they're a bit busy this week,

What with the High Def photography standards and all...

Definitions aside, you'd think the HD Photo site could at least show some examples, blowups of a given resolution with different codecs and graphs of the files size implications so we could be interested in using the standard.

Instead, one dry page. And seamonkey at that: it starts out by saying it's new, ends by saying it's really just the new name for wmphoto and in between claims "more than twice the quality of jpeg". Huh? Are they using smaller pixels? Will my quality slider in Photoshop now go to 24?

With implementation and marketing like this, you can see why the Zune will soon be the AMC Pacer of gadgets.

They need to stick to incremental moves for the products that already have users by the neck.

There. All better.
