    Actually, it was the roommate of the iPhone finder who tipped off the police.

    From the article:

    Martinson turned Hogan in, because Hogan had plugged the phone into her laptop in an attempt to get it working again after Apple remotely disabled it. She was convinced that Apple would be able to trace her Internet IP address as a result. "Therefore she contacted Apple in order to absolve herself of criminal responsibility," according to the detective who wrote the affidavit.

    By default, any authenticated user has this right and can create up to 10 computer accounts in the domain.

    This setting persists in Windows Server 2008 R2. Of course, you can always fix this via GPO on your domain controllers.

    Actually IBM/Lenovo have really improved their update rollout methods.

    To find support documentation and downloads, you can go to Lenovo Support & downloads and enter in the model number of the computer in question. Or you may find drivers from the Driver Matrices page. Better yet, you can download the ThinkVantage System Update program which will scan your computer, check for available updates from the Lenovo servers, download, and install them for you.

    The links provided are not secrets. They're all available from the "SUPPORT & DOWNLOADS" link off of Lenovo's homepage.

    Though I see the point you're trying to make, you are insinuating that BitTorrent networks are used solely for the illegal distribution of copyrighted content.

    Not true.

    Many sites, such as Knoppix, prefer to have their users receive their product via BitTorrent as it cheaper bandwidth-wise. And even Holywood is searching for a way to utilize this file distribution method.

    Both Symantec link and F-Secure link

    States that only Windows 2000 machines were affected.

    F-Secure Writes: "The exploit uses fixed offsets inside Windows 2000 version of umpnpmgr.dll. This means that only Windows 2000 systems (SP0-4) are affected."
