How Spyware Took The Next-Gen Threat Crown (On The Internet's No #1 Threat Today MUST READ!!!) -- My own opinion is that anything that takes over your private computer without your informed consent should be illegal and that anyone distributing such programs and those paying to have it distributed (the engine that drives this train) should be held criminally responsible. A politician who would undertake such legislation would have an instantaneous, nation-wide following... a political hero (are you listening out there?)
Browser Wars -- Broadband Firefox users should try ForecastFox 0.5.8. It will put the Weather Channel forecast of your choice in the taskbar. Completely customizeable (I selected the three-day, day-and-night forecast for my ZIP) and totally cool.
Now that you have changed to Firefox, go to this thread to help you out.... if you are on a Broadband Internet connection.
Free Help here:
Currently I'm running pretty safely with Adaware, Spybot, Firefox, AVG, Sun Java (people forget this upgrade) Zone Alarm and a router. And I deactivated ActiveX for all but Windows update.
Some recommend Xandros 3.0. Windows like and the easiest Debian Linux distro for newbies to install and maintain. Even all the names have been changed to make getting around the operating system as painless and familiar as possible. In addition, with the Deluxe Version, you can run Windows applications with Crossover Office.

I read the title several times and thought it said THE BOWSER WARS...I know when I've been scanning headlines for too long when I start mis-reading them in typically obscene or ironic malaprops... like the time I glanced at the TV Guide program scroller, and read
"An Officer and a Gentleman and my Wife..."

LOL...There's a sign in a town outside Tulsa that is written in script which reads physical therapy but I swear it looks like vaginal therapy. The script in the typeset is placed in such a way that one must take a double look-see

The tire store down the street has a new ad up on its sign-- one side reads
Ride with Nitrogen
While the opposite side reads
Ride with Nirogen
...which has prompted lots of rude commentary about that being the Ebonics version of "nitrogen"- but it's gotten so much attention that they haven't corrected the spelling...

POPULAR MECHANICS lab-tests digital camcorders.
They really liked this Panasonic, which looks like it would be a cool videoblogging tool, too. I have to say, though, that for videoblogging the video capabilities of digital still cameras are looking pretty good. My little Sony pocket camera shoots 640 x 480 30fps video, with shockingly good sound. And I shot all the video for this piece using still pocket cameras -- a Sony and (for the underwater parts) an Olympus.
There's even one that shoots in HD (1280 x 720 pixels). That's overkill for videoblogging, of course, but it's sort of cool.
