Thanks to my reader 'attorneyfish' (aka David) who pinged me to let me know about some new articles about Spamhaus. The first article, on a blog that I read regularly, is:http://internetandclassactionlaw.blogspot.com/2006/10/spamhaus-email-lawsuit-gets.html which points here:http://www.lawbulletin.com/news/gettoctext.cfm?TOCUID=22147706&SessionID=w016734702829 It makes for interesting reading. This issue has never been simply e360insight v Spamhaus – its implications, as I have said […]
I haven't seen IE7 offered via "automatic update" on any of my non-WSUS managed machines yet, but IE7 was offered on a machine on which I conducted a manual scan via Microsoft Update. This may explain the reports in the support newsgroups that IE7 was being offered via "automatic updates" within days of IE7 being […]
No, we can not blame the Neowin and Bink snafu on this…. [;)] Check out this screenshot which indicates that one of my blog posts had gone live 3 hours earlier… Now, check out this screen shot, which seems to indicate that the Secunia article I am talking about had been published just two hours […]

This makes it possible to only display a part of the address bar, which may trick users into performing certain unintended actions." "Somewhat spoofed" is a […]
…to congratulate them on the release of Firefox 2:http://fredericiana.com/2006/10/24/from-redmond-with-love/ Blake Ross was also gracious in congratulating the IE team on the release of IE7 (no mention of a cake though) [;)] Ok, so he did mention the cake in his FF2 announcement [<:o)] Tony has blogged as well:http://www.tonychor.com/archive/000496.html I love his comment "Sometimes, a cigar […]
They say: "Guys – let's be straight here: anyone who wants the new build will get it somehow. Be that on the day of release or prior to the official announcement. You cannot expect every news site on the internet looking for a scoop to sit back and make a decision based on morals and […]
I don't think that anybody can deny that Microsoft are doing all they can to make the very competitive area of Internet searching as fair as is possible in Internet Explorer 7. Not only does MS offer an Add Search Providers page, but they have taken Eric Law's Search Provider Builder Tool and duplicated it […]
Tony Chor reports that IE7 was downloaded over 3 million times in just 4 days. That's pretty amazing considering Automatic Updates and WSUS have not cranked up yet.
