Wow. This comes as a bit of a shocker to me. Just a few months ago JS-Kit was just a little uppity startup...looked like a one-man part-time gig, then it became professional and now this significant acquisition.

I don't find the idea of these photo frames really impressive, but the fact that it is networked is pretty cool...and indicative of what a wired home will look like in ten years (oops, wireless home).

Yes, perhaps some clarification is needed. I love the Yahoo start page, but still use Google for search (when I'm not messing around with Wikia's search, which sucks but I like because it allows people-driven results).

lol. well that would be a little difficulty for me to do...but maybe next time we can use your voice? :-)

Blasphemy. Yahoo cannot possibly be better than Google.

Excellent screencast. I was hoping the voice was going to be female instead.

Still a lot less than I would like to see and some of these services have previously been available through third parties - but glad to see Microsoft is moving in this direction.

This is really excellent, very, very helpful.

What is really fascinating about this article is that essentially AVG has accidentally played the role of a DDoS, or massive botnet. This is the exact way one would expect a DDoS to occur - except this DDoS was indiscriminate in the sites it hit.
Additionally, it will be interesting to see if any legal controversies arise. What is the right of a third-party company to access materials publicly accessible on the web? Realistically, one can expect that both Slashdot and Whirlpool saw an increase in bandwidth costs due exclusively to LinkScanner's constant calls.
Finally, wouldn't it make sense for AVG to have a whitelist of sites? It could then check those sites only occasionally. We know that sites like Yahoo, Microsoft, Slashdot, etc. are generally safe - no need to scan them every time a user visits the site.

Must say this comes as quite the shocker to me. VMWare is an innovative and market leading company and Greene has been their CEO for a number of years. Not sure this is a good move by mother ship EMC (which acquired VMWare).

I love My Yahoo. Its a very nice start page. Much better than Google.

There's several critical bugs for Apple PC's that Apple hasn't taken care of. Because of some weird cultural paradigm most Apple users turn a blind eye to their security apathetic company.

I can't believe Apple isn't up to speed with this...

Very impressive. But so many of these technologies come out in the lab, we'll have to see what finally arrives at market.

This is great news seeing the alternatives including Watchfire and Acunetix both cost in the thousands of dollars (and Watchfire well over $10k). Unfortunately, the lack of a ready compiled method is unfortunate - especially for Windows.

Sounds like a good move to me. Protect the victims, not the perpetrators.

hmmm...doesn't the fact he is a terrorist indicate he has problems? :-)

I think that would be fairly easy to figure out anyway. If a terrorist couldn't figure that out, then he has problems.

Avoiding SQL injection attacks is pretty straightforward - moving to a stored procedure system ends any hackers ability to enter a variable that includes malicious code.

There was an Outer Limits episode on a similar topic once. About wireless signals interfering with a brain chip if I recall.

Well, there should be! Security needs to be top priority, in my humble opinion.

Fascinating. Though Apple can do no wrong...so there won't be much of an outcry.

Good observation. Unfortunately, I think you're right.
