Trojan Blocks The Pirate Bay and Mininova
A new trojan popped up at several torrent sites a few weeks ago, one that blocks access to The Pirate Bay and Mininova, while informing its victims that “downloading is wrong.” The trojan edits the hosts file on Windows machines, and redirects the BitTorrent sites to localhost, making them impossible to load.

The PureDarwin project announces the immediate availability of
"PureDarwin Xmas", a developer preview of the upcoming operating system
based on Apple's Darwin 9 sources and other Open Source projects such
as X11. At the same time, the PureDarwin project would like to invite
the community to discuss, participate and contribute. The developer
preview is available for download as a pre-configured virtual machine
for VMware Fusion 2.0 on Macintosh, and the code used to generate it is
available in a Subversion repository.

Macworld 2009 Rumors - Separating fact from fiction
With Macworld just around the corner, people are still clamoring and fretting over the fact that Steve Jobs won't be delivering the keynote. Lost in the shuffle, however, is the fact that Apple (via Phil Schiller) will most likely deliver some interesting announcements to its product line.“— Is Windows a Virus?No, Windows is not a virus. Here's what viruses do:
Until now it seems Windows is a virus but there are fundamental differences: Viruses are well supported by their authors, are running on most systems, their program code is fast, compact and efficient and they tend to become more sophisticated as they mature.
- They replicate quickly - okay, Windows does that.
- Viruses use up valuable system resources, slowing down the system as they do so - okay, Windows does that.
- Viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk - okay, Windows does that too.
- Viruses are usually carried, unknown to the user, along with valuable programs and systems. Sigh... Windows does that, too.
- Viruses will occasionally make the user suspect their system is too slow (see 2) and the user will buy new hardware. Yup, that's with Windows, too.
So Windows is not a virus.
It's a bug.

Employers not hiring WoW, MMO or FPS gamers
There’s an imaginary level of immaturity that comes with game playing, a less-than-serious aura more identifiable with kids and older teens. Many gamers realize this, and would rather not reveal their game playing habits just as porn addicts wouldn’t want to admit their sins to fellow church members.
