Hmmm...and why do we want IBM to make a branded version of OpenOffice instead of just using OpenOffice?

I couldn't agree more. As a computer student I tryed to learn ways of protecting computers from hacking. But it wasn't until I learn how to do the hack, could I begin to figure out how to stop it.

Should colleges really teach hacking?
While it is certain that certain students utilize these skills for evil, one can't combat malware without being intimately familiar with how it works.

Yeah it's in there somewhere, although I don't know exactly how it is written.

Alex - Thanks for letting us know. I'm still way behind earning anything on it - you don't make much from searching or commenting/rating...If you really want to make money its through referring friends.

Good question. My guess would be that they wouldn't have a right to snoop on the entire contents of your mailbox, but using packet sniffing/similar techniques they could still read the content of anything going in/coming out of your system. Also, probably can tap in a keylogger to track all your keystrokes legitimately.

Now that is pretty sweet. What about virtualization of the browser? Have you seen that IE Sandbox that separates the browser from the rest of the OS - essentially creating a invincible (okay, nothing is invincible) environment for the browser to operate in?

It will be interesting to see the adoption of this contender for 4g amongst the enterprise. With Wibro(mobile WiMAX) in place across parts of Asia mainly South Korea and the support of the technology by companies such as Intel and Samsung. In the current state of play it seems WiMAX will be the leading player for the 4g crown fending off rivals such as the Chinese developed McWiLL.

I tacked on an article from ArsTechnica on Midori. It fills in a lot of the blanks on what actually Microsoft is doing with the OS and where it came from.

IE8 also has separate threads for each tab so crashing only takes out part of the browser. How cool is that?

Yeah, I'm actually not a huge fan of public stock for that exact reason...People are too short-sighted and want instant returns. This not only results in short-range planning but also can result in illegitimate belt tightening (lower wages, layoffs, etc.) in order to please the shareholder...Funny thing is, we are oftentimes the shareholder - and we complain when we are laid off, yet demand it of those we invest in.

haha. I have a hard time imagining Microsoft giving up on the Windows OS...but maybe they'll start porting some applications to the web. I think web applications is the way to go myself...until my bandwidth provider croaks. :-)
