Microsoft urged to release NT patches
[The Age]
Gartner analysts have urged Microsoft to rethink its policy not to release patches for Windows NT Workstation 4, the desktop operating system Redmond ended support for on June 30. Gartner says it wouldn't be difficult to do because NTW4 and NT Server -- which is still supported -- share a similar code base.

Cisco, Microsoft end-point security products MIA
[SearchNetworking.com]
The two tech titans have teamed up to augment end-point security, but experts are skeptical because it could be difficult for them to live up to their promises.

TIP OF THE DAY:  Correcting a corrupted computer account
For the most part, the domain account for a client computer is self-maintaining. However, from time to time, especially in very large domain networks, the account becomes disjoined or otherwise fails to function properly. This typically is symptomatic of being unable to use a specific client to log into the domain with a valid domain user account.

The Missing Link

TV sends out strong signal -- to the world
[Reuters]
Sending out an SOS -- when you don't really need to -- can get you into big trouble. A 20-year-old college student in Oregon found that out first hand. It seems his cool, flat-screen Toshiba TV broadcast more than just The Real World episodes. His TV put out an international distress signal. How did he find out that his TV was like E.T.'s record player? When the police, civil air patrol, and search and rescue teams came to his apartment looking for someone in distress. Of course, being a college student, his only distress is choosing between Domino's and Pizza Hut. Toshiba offered to replace his mischievous TV, which was nice considering he was threatened with a $10,000 fine for broadcasting a false distress signal -- which would have been truly distressing.
