When are they gonna make disguise kits so you can disguise yourself like Lupin?
Wait, they already have. Plastic surgery.
Though imitating voices is another matter...
I guess this means that AT&T and Cingular Wireless customers will now be able to call inside the network at any time during the day and not get charged for it.
(This is what's so frustrating about the fact that Apple, as numerous posters have pointed out, will never release OS X for the Intel platform. As it stands, to use OS X you have to buy Apple hardware....)
If Apple DID release Mac OS X for the Intel/x86 platform, there wouldn't be Mac OS X for very long. Apple relies heavily on hardware sales, and if it released Mac OS X for x86, people would buy that and not the hardware--except for maybe the iPod.
"Wired News is reporting that Microsoft claims that by removing Windows Media Player from Windows, it would be forced to ship a substandard version to European consumers...."
I guess if Micro$#it is forced to comply, they will have ads for Windows like the spoof one in the UK. "Suddenly everything sucks--more than usual."
Microsoft on Tuesday included three 'critical' security patches in its new monthly bulletin, including a cumulative update for Internet Explorer, the world's [$#ittiest] Web browser.
The November alert, which is the second monthly update issued under Microsoft's plan to release security patches on a monthly cycle, also includes a fix for another 'critical patch in the Windows Workstation service that could allow harmful code execution.
According to the second monthly alert from the software giant, five newly discovered security holes were detected in Internet Explorer that could allow remote code execution and browser takeover.
The cumulative patch replaces the one that is provided in the MS03-040 update and affects IE running on Windows 98, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows NT Workstation, Windows NT Server Windows 2000, Windows XP (and XP Service Pack 1) and the newest Windows Server 2003.
The flaws affect Internet Explorer versions 5.01 through 6.0.
Of the five new vulnerabilities, Microsoft said three involve the cross-domain security model of Internet Explorer which keeps windows of different domains from sharing information. "These vulnerabilities could result in the execution of script in the My Computer zone," the company warned.
Microsoft said an attacker could host a malicious Web site containing pages designed to exploit the cross-domain vulnerabilities to take over a user's machine. "An attacker who exploited one of these vulnerabilities could access information from other Web sites, access files on a user's system, and run arbitrary code on a user's system. This code would run in the security context of the currently logged on user," the company warned.
Holes have also been plugged in the way that zone information is passed to an XML object within Internet Explorer. This vulnerability could allow an attacker to read local files on a user's system.
A fifth vulnerability patched involved performing a drag-and-drop operation during dynamic HTML (define) events in the browser. "This vulnerability could allow a file to be saved in a target location on the user's system if the user clicks a link. No dialog box would request that the user approve this download," according to the alert.
As with all previous cumulative patches for IE, Microsoft noted that the update will cause the window.showHelp( ) control to no longer work if the HTML Help update is not applied.
Since this runs Linux, and companies that you've done business with are allowed to call your cell phone, can we expect a call from SCO if we buy one of these?
Yes, and they'll promise to pay you to switch to a Verizon phone running the cellphone version of Windows.
Problem: Popup blocker in Internet Explorer 6 SP2 contains a vulnerability that could allow a hacker to gain remote access and execute code on your computer.
And then there will be a patch to the patch to the service pack.

Apple's dying! Wait; they died. 39 times.
If Microsoft Office is really as good as Microsoft claims, why is this document a .pdf file?
In the same article.
Windows isn't even worth 45 cents!
Those folks at EB are sexists!

Cingular can finally compete with Verizon.
