More nice stuff

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

My wife got me an early Valentine’s present today. Well actually we got each other early Vday presents, because she wanted a nice cardigan sweater she had seen on sale. So I took her with me to pick it out, (No freakin’ way am I buying her clothes by myself, the chances of getting that right are about as good as Microsoft releasing software without bugs!) and in turn she gave me the gift she had gotten me. A 1938 Heritage Club printing of Tale of Two Cities, with the Heritage Club newsletter that came with the book still stuck inside the cover. Very nicely done by a woman who obviously loves me!

Picked up from Notes from the Cave today that the Microsoft Windows 2000 Security Rollup Package automatically includes the Outlook 2000 Security Patch that gave people problems when they discovered the could no longer run any executables. You might want to keep that in mind.

Looks like the AOL cat and mouse with Trillian took the weekend off. I guess no one capable of making a decision at AOL works weekends, eh? *L*

Where’s Scoble been lately? His blog hasn’t been updated much at all, hope everything is ok!

It appears that Blogger Pro is going through some sort of growing pain at the moment, and my posts are not being published over to this site. Hopefully I’ll be able to get this posted to the site fairly soon!

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    This is good news, and frankly, I’m a bit surprised. Happily. According to IBM Security’s new “Future of Identity Study,” users of both mobile and desktop are wide awake to what’s happening with each new high profile breach, and it’s made them change their priorities. Strong security and privacy are now at the forefront of…

    Fred Langa has an interesting article on traveling with laptops and other assorted electronic devices. There’s some good points about airport security and how some people are using the increased airport security to try and get you separated from your laptop so they can walk off with it from the checkpoints.

    FUD, but not entirely

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Joe Wilcox does a good job of finding the FUD in Microsoft’s 10 reasons not to use Google Apps. I’d have to agree with him that Microsoft’s reasons are pretty dumb. One thing that does jump out at me though, is number 7: Enterprise companies have to constantly think about government regulations and standards?while Google…
