Current Events

Odd Headlines

So.. I fire up Safari earlier, and let it go to the default homepage (apple.netscape.com/apple.adp)

And the top link, under ‘Need to Know’ is “No. 1 way to hide an affair “

Which really raises the question… how slow of a news day is it? They couldn’t have talked about Bush trying to rape the constitution? The group of Scientists who want the government to increase NASA’s funding so they can start planning on how block an asteroid from ramming into the Earth? Eminem suing Apple because some kid sung his song in one of the iPod commercials? Clinton Portis being traded to Washington? The end of Fox’s ‘My fat obnoxious Fiance’ series?

Apparently not.. its much better to provide couples with ways of hiding their affairs from each other…. (And some of their advice just looks like you’d be begging to get caught if you were to follow it!)

Just Stuff

“Super”Millionaire

So..its like night 3 now..

and the questions are just getting stupider..

For example, one guy had this question in order to win $50,000.00

“In the US, what day do record companies normally release new CDs on?” (or some variant there of… I don’t remember the exact wording)

I mean… come ON! I think Kael could have answered that one correctly (if he could talk… and if he knew what a CD was) I don’t think there isn’t anyone who doesn’t know that new CDs and new DVDs come out on Tuesdays… just like most new theatrical releases are on Fridays or Wednesdays…

what’s next? the 10 million dollar question becomes “Who is hosting ‘super’ millionaire?”

On a related note.. Windoze’s inherent insecurity was also one of the questions (I think it was only a $10,000.00 question though) ‘The fastest spreading virus in internet history was released in January 2004’ (For those that missed it.. MyDoom became the fastest spreading virus shortly after it began spreading)

Apple

Most Secure OS

OK, so this is nothing new to most Mac users….

But.. it’s official now.. at least according to a British security group…

According to mi2g OS’ running varients of the BSD family of unix (including Mac OS X) are the most secure out there. mi2g only dealt with overt digital attacks..they completely ignored viruses and worms..so windows had fewer breaches then I would have expected…

another highlight.. “recorded breaches against government servers running BSD or Mac OS X worldwide fell to zero in January 2004.”
