One of the worst book reviews I've read in a long time. Quickly
devolves into some sort of editorial.
A provocative article in Tuesday's Science Times (the New York Times Science
pages, http://www.nytimes.com/pages/science/):
The Madness of Crowds and an Internet Delusion by John Tierney
http://www.dailytech.com/Code%20Posted%20Online%20Takes%20Advantage%20of%20Mac%20OS%20X%20Flaw/article17357.htm
I'm wondering how this could be? Tom said Apple writes perfect code...there
are no errors. Looks like everyone writes a defective os...just like I
said. And this security flaw was
I was thinking while reading this...some, if this were Dick Cheney type of a
guy would be saying well now he's just being paid off by big Music and
Movies. By the end that's what this seems to become, a collaboration
editorial about the evils of music piracy. I think there are larger issues

reviewer. His intent is to provide editorial commentary. You can

Well, we all know that the RIAA is nuts. But the problems you cite--
disappearance of paper books and Big Brother controlling the

I'm not saying there aren't serious issues for creators concerning being
paid for their hard work. I think however the solution is not the mob style
tactics of old from the likes of the RIAA and MPAA. The point of entry for
a new musician has all at once become insanely easy and
Those literature types can pound sand.

Pro cons on Turbo Tax versus Tax act?
I have been using Turbo taxes for a few years (I used to use Parsons
Tax Edge)
I know they usually rate out close to each other.
But I want to see what you all think of both of them.

I'd stay away from Turbo Tax, I doubt you'll get the...understanding Geitner
got after cheating on his taxes if you make a 'mistake'.

Hey, guys. Each of these canned programs have plusses and minuses. And,
I would venture that some (very famous) users deliberately choose packages
that have defects they wish to exploit. Their defense- TurboTax made me do
it, TaxCut said I could. The recent episodes have now exposed that as BS
I would qualify for a free filing but I prefer to have all the info

I know plenty of guys who pay to have their taxes done each and every

Cool!

According to the source, MS beat Google just barely in trying to make the
same deal.
As Pogue says...just one more reason to hate Verizon.

Apparently Apple has known about this flaw in BSD Unix for around 5 months.
Lots of other UNIX based platforms and applications have patched it and
Apple is one of the last hold outs. Bad on them.
Good thing that they aren't the OS from Redmond with the giant 'Kick Me
sign on their back.
