    • Attackers Exploit New Zero-Day Windows Bug

      Posted by bugeats from Cyberdogbiscuits.blogspot

      "By default, Internet Explorer automatically opens the vulnerable Windows Picture and Fax Viewer application to display WMF files, making that browser the riskiest to use. But it's not the only threatened browser: Mozilla Corp.'s Firefox, for instance, defaults to the same application, as does Opera, although users must acknowledge a dialog box before opening the image." So, it's a browser exploit. crap.

    • OpenOffice Updated To Fix Bugs in 2.0

      Posted by bugeats from Yahoo News!

      Continuing its effort to become a serious alternative to Microsoft Office, OpenOffice.org released an updated version of its open-source office suite this week. OpenOffice.org 2.01 comes two months after the formal release of version 2.0. The update mainly cleans up several glitches seen in the earlier release.

    Microsoft abandons Yahoo bid

    This Yahoo bid was stupid from the beginning. Microsoft was going to spend all its cash to chase Google in the advertising business? Huh? Ballmer clearly backed down when he didn’t want to ante up. I suspect the Microsoft board had second thoughts as well.

    Microsoft's $528 million Washington tax break

    You are misunderstanding – this is about Washington B & O taxes on corporations, not income taxes.

    Blodget: MicroHoo ‘is gonna be a disaster’

    At best a year to get the deal closed, two for integration. Multiple groups on each side working on similar projects… Sounds like a great idea and a nightmare to integrate.

    Your concern that Microsoft is avoiding paying income taxes to the State of Washington is based on the erroneous belief that there is an income tax in Washington. Please check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_income_tax

    I really don’t know what you’re belly aching about.

    Bill Gates Issues Call For Kinder Capitalism

    I honestly never would have predicted such thinking from BG several years ago.

    What I want to see now is the staunch capitalist’s response to such thinking. Maybe the Economist will have something (dismissive and venomous, as usual) to say about it…
