While Googles searches are secure, it would appear autosuggests? I use FF's search bar and set the search engine to use SSL. Forcing the autosuggest url to https redirects back to http which means anyone sniffing for suggestqueries.google.com can still find out my queries
If you want to bypass the hosts file all you need to do is connect by using the IP address as opposed to the DNS name. Sure it seems a bit more complicated or problematic (incase DNS->IP pointing changes) but Im sure all malware programs would rather specify an IP instead of DNS. I would if I was creating a malware program:-)
Perhaps this is bills tactic? Release XBOX360 a year before PS3. By the time PS3 hits 360 will be "cracked" (hoefully) -> Surge in 360 sales -> Death of Sony.
Just a shot-in-the-dark
Dozens of bugs have been fixed, runtime files were added and updated. There are no new features
They are focusing more on fixing problems rather than add new features and in essence adding new bugs. Its rare to see updates which are meant for donzens of fixes. A smart approach.
Another./ headline to spread M$ fud. Tell me, if AJAX is set to replace desktop, why only "Windows" desktop. Isn't this this technology, or group of combined technologies a replacement for desktops in general whether its windows, gnome, kde, or any other flavor of it. Frankly, these misleading headlines are really getting outta control.
Back to the topic @ hand, I really think the collective use of well established technologies WILL replace desktops in general but not now. This will inevitably lead to OS's as well as most other applications being service-based and providing ondemand installation of required libraries. Linux already provides capabilites like this. Think, fully automated "apt-gets" or "emerges".
The limiting factor right now is bandwidth and cpu speed for compiling code on-demand. The bandwidth issue i believe is close to resolve right any as Gigabit ethernet (125MB/s) will provide pipes as close to being as fast as your typical UDMA133 (133MB/s) hard drive (even though this is the "theoretical" speed). Fiber-optics is probably even faster.
All in all, I think AJAX is a representation of the future of the applications. Just the method of delivery is currently the limiting factor.

I just hope this ain't what you'd call pillow talk, baby!
"The tool would still scan that person's face and figure out who it is, but it won't display that information. People can still manually tag friends."
Looks as if there is no way to REALLY opt out. I wonder if the same applies to all their other privacy settings?

Yes... i mean, no... i mean, maybe. Let me try.
I, for one, welcome our new decedent overlords!

Wow. Sony just keeps digging and digging and digging....
"...as they can be useful"
*SIGH*
Last week I just saw Debbie Does Dallas! Dont get what the fuss is about. It was freaking 30 seconds long.
Im moving to Greenland. Who's with me???
Now how can I put this to use on my homework!

India... The next Middle East!
As a precautionary measure, should I set fire to all my machines running XP???
Can we all just focus for a minute on the real issue here.... The canadians are getting jack squat. Outrageous!!!!
Steal from the rich and give to the poor? Reminds me of a character from Nottingham :)
More like: steal from the poor, donate to the poor!
i meant "hopefully". sory for the bad speling :-)

Q1: Are you serious? Q2: No really! Are you serious?
