Hmm, Hotbar who is a Microsoft Certified Partner is flagged as "Low Risk Adware" and default setting is to ignore.
Co-incidence or shall I fetch my Tinfoil hat?

Very simple looking and hasn't been updated for years, but I use a DEC AlphaServer at work running NT and it is one of the view native AlphaNT Newsreaders out there.
One of the biggest pain the arses at work for flooding our network is Hotbar, and it's a Microsoft Certified Partner according to their site, so our users think "that's OK, I can trust them". Well, they did until we blocked hotbar and all it's subdomains. (evil laugh)
Microsoft seem very two faced to me.

In my last year at School I got caught reading Crash magazine and Sinclair User in English class a few times and my teacher said I was throwing my life away by not paying attention to O'Level English.
But now, I have a job supporting over 800 Windows XP Desktops, all because of that little rubber keyed bugger.
Oh hang on.. supporting XP is hell, bollocks he was right, I'm wasting my life;)

Sony Internet Device Powered By BeOS?

I seem to recall in the last month of Be Sony released a internet device which was basically a little screen, processor box with mouse/keyboard and modem. It was for sale for about 2 weeks, then pulled and Be was sold 1 week later.
Seems to me that the Sony device was only released for legal reasons (why else sell it for 2 weeks then pull it), can anyone shed light on this?
http://www.disneyquest.com has a floor dedicated to old classic arcade games that are free to play (well, not free as you pay an entry fee to get in there, but you get my drift):)
I had to get dragged out of the old Star Wars cabinet last time was there.

Using it on my Windows XP box and I'm very happy with it, apart from the scary siren and ladies voice that shouts "Warning, Virus Detected" and scares the crap out of you when you're not expecting it:)
I have a Siemens SL45 phone/MP3 Player and first thing I do is make a copy of a CD so I can listen to it on my phone. I bought Robbie William's last album and like Norah's it has Copy Control protection. Except that I noticed this about a month later when I spotted a small sticker on the case and I had been listening to the MP3's for a month:)
When I tried to copy it again in my CD-Rom, I noticed that it did a lot of seeking and took about 40 minutes to do a perfect copy (under XP) instead of about 10 that it should have. I never noticed it at the time, I must have walked away and left the computer while it was copying.
So... Copy Control sucks and is easy to bypass... if you're patient.
Over 10 years ago I was using WANG VS systems, quite a nice OS IIRC.
Turns out you can still get them and they have a webserver (http://www.vswebcenter.com) product.
I doubt most script kiddies have never heard of Wang, let along tried to hack one.

I'd hate to think the internet depends on SCO UnixWare running on an old 486 ;)
