For all those who use Yahoo:

Yahoo Sign In Seal
This helps to protect you from phishing attempts while using yahoo.
“A sign-in seal is a secret between the computer you set it up on and Yahoo!.
So when you sign in to Yahoo! from this computer, your sign-in seal tells you
that you’re seeing a genuine Yahoo! site, not a phishing site.”

Here’s a sample of what it looks like after the Sign In Seal is set up:

Even SSL Gmail can get sidejacked

Careful, it’s getting to be a dangerous world out there… :cry:

Microsoft makes $44.6 billion bid for Yahoo

Wish I had some Yahoo stock… :slight_smile:

Intel releases details on new 45nm “Silverthorne” Processor

Consumes less than 2W of Power and delivers performance equal to the first Pentium M processors. Also supports Hyperthreading (I was wondering when Intel would bring that back)

Intel wants to see this used in high end Smart Phones and Mobile Internet Devices like the iPhone, Blackberry, etc.

Windows XP Service Pack 3 Release Candidate

I’ve found this to be very stable.

One great use for this is to update systems that either have no internet access or,
only have dialup access.

I’ve added this file to a usb drive and use it to update the computers at our Senior Center.
Once this is done, there is currently only one recommended update left at the
windows update site.

607

Interesting, a little meaty at a 336.1 MB download for my dial-up connection ;D
I guess I will have to get it another way.

DavidR,

Here in the USA many restaurants, coffee shops & libraries have free WIFI, most even allow us to use their electricity. If you have a laptop you could download SP3 there, I once saw a man bring in his desktop into a restaurant. You would get a few stares if you brought a desktop into a restaurant! ;D ;D ;D

609

Not so many wifi points in coffee shops in the UK outside major cities and major coffee shop outlets. it would also be a little difficult carrying my tower PC with my broken wrist ;D

I just wonder if my local library has broadband, much less a PC.

This morning, I updated my laptop which uses Windows Vista to SP1

Although the proccess is lenghty, it went off without a hitch.
It took almost an our to complete.

To be totally fair, when you first start the update process, it does tell you that this could
take over 1 hr to complete.

611

Yeah

I’m getting ready to do mine as we speak; a friend just grabbed it off MSDN, and I was curious if I should uninstall my avast av first.

I take it you did not?

612

Before installing, I disabled or paused all my scanning programs which included pausing the standard shield of avast! :slight_smile:

Email Trace
Is it possible to find the origin of an email? Yes, it is!
Simply Copy and Paste below the email header of the message.
We will pinpoint you the location of the senders IP address.

614

Email Trace may work within the US but it does not work correctly outside of the US. I have an email from Mexico City that I traced with NeoTrace back to MC but Email Trace only traced it back to Monterey which is probably where it left Mexico.

615

But it is a beta version?! ???

616

The name itself makes that quite clear.

Windows XP Service Pack 3 Release Candidate

The official release isn’t due till next year.

617

Because i don’t want to wait, i try it today and hope the best :smiley:

Firefox 3 Add-ons new site coming soon…thought this would be of interest ::slight_smile: :o
In the coming months Mozilla will be shipping the Firefox 3 browser, and with that comes a redesigned add-ons site. A preview of the new add-ons site is currently available, and I have to say that it is head over heels better than the current site. Things like the search box really stand out, and search results are laid out in a more friendly format.
The thing that I find impressive with the new site is the fluid integration of the sandboxed add-ons. On the current site you have to login before you can see results from any extensions in the sandbox, but now they are shown side-by-side with the rest of the search results. On the revised site you’ll still need to login to your account before being able to download a sandboxed add-on, but merging the two types of results together is a nice touch. When browsing through the categories, however, there will be a checkbox in the upper-right corner of results which needs to be checked before seeing any of the sandboxed extensions.
One thing that I’m still disappointed with is that you can’t choose how you want your search results sorted. If you’re browsing a category you can sort by name, date, downloads, or rating, but search results have no such options. The current site doesn’t even allow that, but I was hoping with the next revision that they would throw this in.
