The Only Way for Windows XP SP3 Is Down

SP3 will do nothing for XP, but still more than what SP1 will do for Vista - The third and final service pack for Windows XP will do little to nothing for the operating system, but will manage to deliver a superior boost to the platform's momentum in comparison to Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista.

'Blog', 'cookie', 'wiki' top list of hated Internet words: poll

"Blog", "netiquette", "cookie" and "wiki" have been voted among the most irritating words spawned by the Internet, according to the results of a poll published Thursday.

Topping the list of words most likely to make web users "wince, shudder or want to bang your head on the keyboard" was folksonomy, a term for a web classification system.

"Blogosphere", the collective name for blogs or online journals, was second; "blog" itself was third; "netiquette", or Internet etiquette, came fourth and "blook", a book based on a blog, was fifth.

"Cookie", a file sent to a user's computer after they visit a website, came in ninth, while "wiki", a collaborative website edited by its readers, was tenth...

Editorial: Three ways to a cleaner, brighter Mac

The presupposition that Macs are the choice for the user who wants a hassle free, take it out of the box and get on with it experience is simply a lie. This may very well be the experience Mac users get for a while, but soon enough the system (like every other computer) becomes a little sluggish, and not as speedy as it was in its younger days. Increasingly, it is becoming apparent that if a user requires their Mac for anything other than rudimentary tasks, it has to have a deep clean every now and again otherwise it will get a little sluggish.

PCWorld : The 10 Most Overrated Products

An interesting slide show from PCWorld about the 10 Most Overrated Products against Underrated ones.

Hype springs eternal. Lots of technologies, products and services don't merit the praise heaped on them. Here are 10 tech items that don't live up to their billing -- and 10 that deserve respect that they don't receive. Worth a check out.

One comparision among the many : PCWorld feels XP is overated and Vista under-rated.

"Save Windows XP! is the rallying cry of Windows users dismayed by the needless bloat of Vista. But didn't everyone have the same critique of Windows XP when it first galumphed into public view like an unsteady rubber monster?

What did Vista get right? For starters, though the User Account Control feature is like an annoying little sister who constantly pokes you, it makes Vista more secure than XP. Vista also trounces XP in handling mobile de­­vices, networking, multimedia files and photos. On top of that, it has a cleaner, more navigable interface -- one eerily reminiscent of a certain Mac operating system."

Google Plugs Account Hijack Holes

Had Google left the the cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability unpatched, hackers could have modified third-party Google documents and spreadsheets as well as had access to e-mail subjects and search history.

According to Philipp Lenssen, the author of Google Blogoscoped, the first Google Custom Domains vulnerability allowed Tony Ruscoe (another Google expert) to create a page that was hosted on a Google.com domain. Ruscoe proved that he could have used code to steal a user's Google cookie and access their Google services. The second vulnerability, reported by Lenssen, would also have enabled a hacker to use JavaScript code to pass cookie data to an external source.

Google hit two birds with one stone according to a representative: "Google was alerted to these issues, and we worked quickly to fix the problems, which have been resolved. We have not received any reports of user data being compromised."

AOL To Let Users Opt Out of Targetted Ads

Time Warner Incs AOL Internet division said on Wednesday that it would let users opt out of online advertisements that are presented to individuals based on the Web sites they have visited. Such behaviorally targeted ads use "cookies," information that identifies a computer, to keep track of where the user has visited online and send that person commercial messages accordingly.

Internet publishers say this system lets users get ads for products they may be interested in rather than sending useless information, but consumer advocates say it is yet another potential violation of privacy online. AOLs program will point consumers to the right place to block such ads. Choosing to opt out sends a cookie to a users computer that blocks the ads from appearing. AOLs system prevents the deletion of the opt-out cookie. The program will also send "millions" of public service banner ads explaining the policy across the companys own Web sites and on those in which it sells ads.

Five reasons why XP will never die

Preston Gralla: Microsoft is doing its best to kill Windows XP, but that's not going to happen. No matter what the company does, the operating system will live on. Here are five reasons why XP will never die.



Enterprises want XP



There's no escaping the simple fact that enterprises have snubbed Vista, and show no signs of abandoning XP. Just a few days ago, Forrester said that a survey of 50,000 enterprise users found that throughout 2007, Windows XP use remained at a steady 89%. Vista grew from zero to 6% in that same time, but that came about because users moved from Windows 2000 to Vista, not from XP to Vista. Don't expect corporations to switch to Vista from XP in 2008.

Windows XP going off market in June: What it means

Well it looks like XP is about to disappear from stores coming this June. Oh what shall I do If I still don't want to migrate to Vista? Well actually it will probably still be for sale in stores and such but Microsoft itself will no longer sell it. Read on.

Microsoft originally announced over a year ago that Windows XP would be going off the market in January 2008. XP was later given a brief stay of execution, to June 30, 2008. That deadline is fast approaching, which has led to much panicking from people who aren't quite sure what XP's "going off market" means, exactly.

People are still as confused as ever. So let's take a stab at clarifying, once again, what's going to happen by answering some frequently asked questions about XP's imminent disappearance.

Microsoft, Washington State Sue Scareware Vendors

The Attorney General’s Office along with Microsoft announced the filing of new cases under Washington’s recently improved Computer Spyware Act during a joint press conference today in Seattle.

“We won’t tolerate the use of alarmist warnings or deceptive ‘free scans’ to trick consumers into buying software to fix a problem that doesn’t even exist,” McKenna continued. “We’ve repeatedly proven that Internet companies that prey on consumers’ anxieties are within our reach.”

As of today, the Attorney General’s Office has filed seven suits under the statute. The Attorney General’s Office filed its latest case today in King County Superior Court against the marketers of a program called Registry Cleaner XP.
