The ending is a scream! I'm sure Balmer blew an gasket when he saw it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLEjpM98HtI BTW, check out this Vista vs OSX commercial. The ending is a scream!

This time it's aimed at their own OS product, which Microsoft hopes to ween everyone off of, and onto Vista. So they're attempting to poison the milk, of good olde XP. By claiming that he has all of these glaring vulerabilities. Yeah, but they had to go back to Service Pack 1, to find them! Just apply SP2 and a decent Firewall, and most of those hacks will fail. If M$ wanted to do something beside crouse about XP's faults. They should come out with SP3! But of course, that might dampen Vista sales. Which would be good for the RIAA and MPAA, who are counting on all that juicy DRM protection that Vista has, that XP doesn't.

When the CORPS and GOV control what they print, you only get the SIDE they wish you to see, and NOT the bad news. When people get PISSED OFF enough, they go searching FOR the REAL news. NOW you have 1000's looking for news, and publishing it. The problems come when they dont REALLY know HOW to tell a story. The WHO< WHEN WHERE< WHY<HOW are all messed up. BUT you also have the corps and GOV refuting/confusing what is being broadcast. There are many stories out there, and MANY have been buried and will NEVER be seen. Do you know the one about Tibet, and WHEN they were invaded by CHINA, that the story ended up on the OBITs page. We now have an OVERWHELMING AMOUNT of news, and comments, being posted, and we need to wheedle our way thru it and discern WHAT IS TRUE, even if its written BADLY. 5,

They are starting to replay old news thinking people will have forgotten it. I think the quality of journalism is going down. They don't get facts straight. They try to make stories out of non stories. Just like to story about a unprotected computer can be hacked?? This is news??? I think all these technology sites are running out of news!

He was on the local network with the other machine. He was probably 192.168.1.101 so he guessed that his "victim" was 192.168.100 or 102 The hack is really old news. They should have mentioned how so many people use the default network names in their routers that laptops will often automatically connect to the "linksys" or similar network because it is in its list of previous networks and set to automatic.
