In a blog posting, Christopher Budd, Program Manager, Microsoft Security Response Team (MSRC), said the problem is that after applying the update, users may see a “File Download – Security Warning” dialogue box raised when starting IE. And after they close the dialogue box, they end up not being able to start IE.
Another reason why Microsoft should stop wasting money on IE, and consider including Firefox in their commercial OS.
The much appreciated GridFocus theme featured on Derek‘s blog goes open for public.
Engaging Privacy and Information Technology in a Digital Age presents a comprehensive and multidisciplinary examination of privacy in the information age. It explores such important concepts as how the threats to privacy evolving, how can privacy be protected and how society can balance the interests of individuals, businesses and government in ways that promote privacy reasonably and effectively?
A must read for anyone remotely interested in privacy. (discovered via Ars Technica)
Ramesh Ramanathan writes a short but very crisp piece on the much hyped discussion surrounding Gujrat Fake encounter case.
I get the same feeling as I read about Sohrabuddin’s fake encounter in Gujarat, of suddenly opening a trap-door and tripping into something kafkaesque. There is a normal world that most of us inhabit—of families and weekends and office politics—and then there are the strange and unrecognizable deep waters, which sometimes surface unexpectedly. The experience is so intensely discomforting that we don’t know how to cope with it. We want to convince ourselves that this parallel world doesn’t impact our lives. The truth is that our canoes can be capsized by just one swelling of these squalls.
Beautiful.
Watched spiderman 3 last night and couldn’t resist looking at my watch after every half an hour. The movie, although broke box office records in Asia, had many action sequences worth watching, somehow did not really click as the first two parts did. Miserable.
It is all over the place. Open first page of Digg, and every story there shows a crack key. I think Mr Rose and associates underestimated the power of net-revolution. It apparently all started off after some fiasco created by this post and led to this.
Update: Kevin wrote:
But now, after seeing hundreds of stories and reading thousands of comments, you’ve made it clear. You’d rather see Digg go down fighting than bow down to a bigger company. We hear you, and effective immediately we won’t delete stories or comments containing the code and will deal with whatever the consequences might be.
If we lose, then what the hell, at least we died trying.
And he just totally redeemed himself ! Game on mole!
