A couple of interesting things seen in newsletters today. First there’s today’s Spyware Info Weekly which talks about accusations of reverse engineering and fraud among different anti-spyware apps. Interesting stuff, I think we’d all do well to make sure we aren’t using a fake spyware killer.

Then, from today’s LangaList comes a pointer to Fred’s InformationWeek column about white-box, or generic, PC’s as compared to name brand PC’s. Good stuff.

    I was off-line most of the weekend, spending some time with the wife, celebrating Saint Patricks’s Day, attending the “Survivor’s Party” the next night at Byrne’s Pub, etc. I finally got on-line Sunday evening to discover that the phpBB software on my child abuse site had been hacked, this site was, for some reason, not…
