Apple Mail — Again? 2007-07-16

It's time Adobe software engineers took crash courses in Unix™ and Security™ and it's time they decided if they're going to make the move to OS X - something Apple did ten years ago.

Microsoft's Generous EULA 2007-05-19
It's ironic that the world's by far worst computer software is also the most expensive. It's even more ironic that so many people buy it. But it's close to the ultimate in irony that for most Windows users that already exorbitant price has just doubled.

Apple's Two Bits 2007-05-18
The makers of the most expensive and advanced laptops in the world are being sued for fudging performance and statistics, for deceiving their consumer base, and for redacting and removing reports of the issues.

You think Microsoft's 95% market strangle is scary? Just wait. While Steve Jobs trims his two day beard and FOSS maniacs debate whether Richard Stallman should be allowed in public restrooms Bill Gates is working - and by 2015 reckons he'll have another one billion Windows users.

You have to log in to Yahoo! to send or receive mail and DVDs are often reformatted to fit your television screen and if you peel rubber out of the drive-in and the plastic lid on your coffee mug is not properly secured your hot stuff can become hot stuff. These are known facts.

Oh The Focus 2007-03-05
Roughly Drafted have a great piece on Apple and Microsoft. There are a lot of angles to this piece but one of the main ones seems to be how both companies have mismanaged markets - and now it's Microsoft's turn. Both companies played splish splash 'in the Nile' and now it's Microsoft swimming with the crocs.

Another 'flawless' BMW leaves the factory - and right out of the box does things that were unthinkable only a few years ago.

Display Eater DID Hose Home Folders 2007-02-25
Reza Hussain admits in an interview Display Eater did in fact do what he's currently claiming it didn't do.

Display Eater: NIИ_6.jpg 2007-02-25
It would seem a rather well known resident of Garden City Louisiana is behind the (warped) embedded strings in Display Eater. Far be it from anyone to assume Reza got into self mutilation all on his own.

Display Eater Pathology? 2007-02-25
There's been a lot of talk of late about a fishy app called 'Display Eater'. It's made Slashdot and the comments at Version Tracker are unequivocal. Everyone's scared the app deliberately hoses computers. But the app is still available for download so staff here got a copy - not to run but just to inspect. What you see below are a few pickings using Rixstep's Xstrings. The question now is: what do we have on our hands here? Scroll through the list and see if you find something interesting.

Ballmer: 'YOU STEAL MY SOFTWARE' 2007-02-19
In a total reprise of buddy Bill's incredibly snooty and stupid letter of thirty one years ago Microsoft's CEO Steve O Ballmer - aka the 'SOB' aka 'Fat Bastard' aka 'Monkey Boy' aka 'Fat Ugly Sweaty Baboon on Crack' aka 'Eric Schmidt's Very Best Friend' - claims less than encouraging sales stats for the company's recent OS non-event are due to theft.

Schnapper 2007-02-16
If you see Schnapper approaching, do not look directly at him. Run back indoors immediately. And call your emergency services. And don't put the tea on until you see the white van pull up and the polite gentlemen in their Roto-Rooter uniforms escort Schnapper safely away.

Enough's Enough! 2007-02-15
According to reports at Apple Defects, Apple have done it again: wiped out a forum thread where word was spreading about defects in Apple hardware and Apple's refusal to address the issues. After over 16,000 viewings the 'censor crew' Apple claim no longer exist went into action - and the thread is no more.

A New Tipping Point? 2007-02-14
The brouhaha stirring at Digg and MacSurfer is actually a topic that's over four years old. Code injector Jonathan Rentzsch got burned back in February 2003. Yet in not a single instance had any of the pundits stopped to consider what that underlying 'rock solid foundation' had to say about any of this.

Sumner Redstone 2007-02-10
Viacom are doing a hatchet job at YouTube. Even as you read this - and it's a weekend - Viacom are toiling away with the Don't Be Evil™ people and slashing video clips left and right. It's slaughter.

Content theft in the blogosphere is not new; greed and hypocrisy on the level of No Ctrl+C is.

When Heads Get Stuck 2007-02-10
YouTube is a phenomenon. Perhaps more than any other site on the web it epitomises the concept of selflessly sharing information. YouTube was recently 'acquired' by Google - the Don't Be Evil™ people.

Who Does Bill Gates Know at Viacom? 2007-02-07
Here's Mister Bill Gates getting up to leave after his interview on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Said interview was not, as some might think, a crass promotional stunt made possible by Bill's connections with the uncomfortable suits at Viacom, but purely an informal chitchat about nothing in particular. Bill's new product wasn't even mentioned in the interview and no attention was drawn to it. Gates just wanted to show the world what a genuinely nice person he was. It was all completely above board.

Bill Gates MSNBC Interview Mirror 2007-02-01
Because of (rather typical) IIS server issues at MSNBC.COM the Rixstep website will now mirror this most important interview. Every effort has been made to painstakingly and faithfully reproduce the excerpts from the interview in their entirety - with 100% accuracy.

Microsoft: The Most Ridiculous Software Company in the World 2007-02-06
Everyone in the know has known this for the longest time but it took a genius at Sana Security to come up with the perfect way to depict it. If never before then certainly now: a picture can truly be worth one thousand words. So next time you hear about a Microsoft worm outbreak where the clueless are running IIS without knowing it because they bought Windows XP Ess-Pee-Too or even THAT NEW ONE and IIS is just there running without their knowing it: think then of these graphs.

CLIX: Safer than Terminal? 2007-02-04
The dangers of the 'sudo fun' exploit remain remote but there's no point in not being safe. A graphic look at the 'Resolve Path' ACP Text Service in action with CLIX 1.8.

ACP Text Services: Resolve Path 2007-02-03
Pursuant to the 'Sudo Fun' discussion on $PATH hijacking the ACP Text Services now offer the ability to resolve paths in command lines so you can see where things are going before they get there. It's perhaps the safest way to go - possibly safer than even Terminal. Select your text; hit the keyboard shortcut ⌘~; it's done.

Darren Waters: Crook or Idiot Extraordinaire? 2007-01-26
