Mozilla blocks Microsoft

Part of super patch tuesday was a plug in for firefox called .NET framework assistant. It opened up firefox to vulnerabilities. Mozilla released a patch to block the plugin on friday. What a system MS has- secure our software by exploiting someone else's!

Unlucky 13 sets record as biggest-ever patch day

I'm not sure if this is good news or not??? Ready, set, go: october 13th is patch tuesday from hell. The joys of a windows system. Have a few friends over, maybe I'll order pizza and beer- really make a night of it! I've already fielded a couple calls, apparently the tv news had a story on this also. See you all wednesday night.

Icann gains independence from the US

Anything that removes gov't control makes sense. I just wonder though if it is going to be like the UN: We (the US) pays 97% of all the bills, financially support most countries, and have to take crap from clowns like putin, el-gadhafi, musharraf, & chavez. This is getting too close to politics now.
