5.9.2009 Patch Up Your System's Security Holes with xpy
Don't Tweak Out
It's not just another tweaking program that'll spice up your system, xpy is the latest little ditty that'll close some of those security holes that Windows XP seems to leave. Another needle in the haystack has been found with xpy 0.9.2. I've been using a lot of separate system modifiers recently and I've finally gotten my hands on xpy, a program that's still in active development.
xpy is not your typical tweaking program, it chooses to focus on your system's natural deficiencies and works to correct the gaping security problems you might face. Let's see what all the hype's about.

The problem affected patch number MS06-007, which fixes a TCP/IP vulnerability in several versions of Windows that could allow a denial-of-service attack. Microsoft called the patch important but not critical, and said users should install it as soon as possible. It was one of several patches released yesterday (see "Microsoft issues seven security patches").

28.03.2006Can There Be 'Wow' in Vista Marketing?
Yesterday's Microsoft marketing bravado is just too funny. So now, 17 months after general availability, Microsoft will promote Windows Vista? Get
a life. The big talk and promises came from Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference, in Houston, where Brad Brooks fessed up about Vista
marketing mistakes and promised there would be response to Apple's "Get a Mac" ads. They say that confession is good for the corporate soul. I
say that it's not good enough.
Microsoft should never have abandoned the original "Wow" Windows Vista marketing campaign. It brought
new meaning to the term "marketing blitz." The campaign flashed by before anybody could blink and say, "Wow." Even if Microsoft executives loathed
the ads, better to keep them than have nothing. I remain convinced that the Vista marketing campaign could have been very effective. The TV
commercials were aspirational, potentially creating positive feelings about the then-mysterious Windows Vista.

09.09.2005World of Warcraft 2.01 Patch Released - Big Changes!
Well the lead up to The
Burning Crusade expansion for
World of Warcraft is indeed in
full swing now. Today Blizzard
released the much anticipated
2.01 patch for WoW aptly named
the "Calm before the Storm"
patch. Indeed it is the "calm
before the storm" as players
gear (pun intended) up for the
expansion big time. The 2.01
patch changes loads of things
in the game, fixes tons of
bugs/nagging things and
overall changes the base game
quite alot actually.
For starters PvP is given a
total redo here, and its a
pretty substantial update here
folks. For one, the Honor
system is now gone, instead we
have a new system where Honor
earned each day can be used as
a sort of currency to buy
gear/items. PvP rewards are no
longer unique, two new Arenas
have been added and can be
played in several forms and
all current Honor totals are
nuked and reset. Everyone will
have their talent points
refunded to them when they log
in tonight, as the talent
trees are being revamped and
changed for The Burning
Crusade and the base game gets
some of that loving as well.
New abilities and talents are
available for all classes.
A new "LFG" or
Looking For Group UI thingie
has been added to the game, to
make things easier to find
raid/instance/party partners
now. A new improved enchanting
UI is here, a new "Spell
alert" bar which will show
you when enemies are casting
spells (default is off), and
Auto-Loot is now available
without a mod! There is just
way to much to list here,
seriously its alot of stuff!
Its also a rather large patch,
clocking in at about 490 megs!
So download away (if you
haven't already) and prepare
to load in to the new improved
"Calm before the storm"
World of Warcraft. Oh and the
server maintenance should be
finishing up here within
minutes - hopefully.
