It's pretty remarkable that considering Google's fabled use of Linux on thousands of servers and hundreds of desktops that all the desktop applications coming out of the Googleplex, with the solitary exception of the Gmail Notifier for Mac OS X, only run on Windows machines.

1.8.2007 Are You Protected? - Design and Deploy Secure Web Apps with ASP.NET 2.0 and IIS 6.0
Web applications are among the most common computing services that are exposed to the Internet, and thus they pose an inviting target to anyone who wants to break into your network to steal sensitive information, tamper with your data, or otherwise compromise your system.
Ensuring the security of a Web application is a serious task, and requires consideration throughout the design, development, deployment, and operation phases. It should not be viewed as something that can be slapped onto an existing application, or achieved simply by applying existing platform security features.

provide. One such app is Twply which sends your twitter replies to your Inbox. This is really great, whenever someone replies to me, I get notified.
There is one problem with such twitter apps. Some apps, like Twply, requires your twitter password to interact with your twitter account. There is no
way these twitter apps can fetch your twitter information without your password. Twply was launched on Thursday January 1st 2009 and sold to
SitePoint in less than 24 hrs! All the data, including your twitter password is now sold to SitePoint.

Remember back that long time ago when Steve Jobs announced Iphone web apps? At that time web apps were supposed to be better than traditional apps
for security reasons. In the press release it was said "applications created using Web 2.0 standards can extend IPhone's capabilities without
compromising its reliability or security". So what happened? Let's take a closer look at why the web apps failed at keeping Apple from
releasing the SDK. It was first thought if outside parties were able to develop apps that it would destabilize the platform. While the concern is
relevant, any decent quality assurance department will be able rid you of that risk.

03.11.2007Flaw in Windows 7 and Vista could allow remote reboot
Security experts warned Tuesday that a vulnerability in Microsoft's implementation of the SMB2 protocol can be exploited via the net to crash or
reboot Windows Vista and Windows 7 systems. An exploit written in Python is already available and being tested by security experts. Initial tests by
heise security indicate the exploit enabled a remote reboot of a Vista system. However, in the test, the exploit had no apparent effect on a computer
running Windows 7. Microsoft has yet to acknowledge the issue and release an official update. The only current workaround is to close the SMB ports
by un-ticking the boxes for file and printer access in the firewall settings.

Amulet Devices has announced a Windows Media Center remote control that has a
microphone stick at the top of it, letting you speak into the remote and issue voice commands to your television. They have a video showing how you
can name an artist and have Media Center play music by that artist, or ask your TV to change the channel or find the channel airing a specific show,
among other possible applications of the remote.
The remote has some position sensing technology built in, letting the remote
know when youve tilted it towards your mouth. This way, the remote doesnt follow commands from the TV, switching shows and music based on what comes
out of the speakers, but instead only listens when you lift it to specifically issue a command.
