Security Fix – Brian Krebs on Computer and Internet Security – (washingtonpost.com)
Microsoft’s Anti-Spyware program is causing troubles for people who also use Symantec’s Norton Anti-Virus software; apparently, a recent update to Microsoft’s anti-spyware application flags Norton as a password-stealing program and prompts users to remove it.According to several different support threads over at Microsoft’s user groups forum, the latest definitions file from Microsoft “(version 5805, 5807) detects Symantec Antivirus files as PWS.Bancos.A (Password Stealer).”

Access restricted web sites using Google as a proxy » AviDardik.com
This is a great hack. Say you work in a company that blocks Web surfing to certain Web sites.
O’Reilly posted a super-cool tip about using Google translation services as a kind of Web proxy and bypass this limitation!
You just need to type the following URL:
http://www.google.com/translate?langpair=en|en&u=www.SomeForbiddenSite.comWhat you’ll get is the translation (English to English!) of the page you want to see…
Your connection is directed to a google.com page so this page won’t be blocked (would be blocked only with google.com on the black list), no matter what’s the content.
This may be a great hack, but as an IO this is really bad news for some of my users… no more full access to google for you :p

SiS confirms Socket AM2 chipsets to ship Q2 | Reg Hardware
SiS has let the cat out of the bag. Yesterday, it announced half a dozen chipsets all of which will support AMD’s Socket AM2 microprocessors – none of which have yet been formally introduced by the chip maker – which will ship in Q2, SiS said.
SiS’ AM2 line-up includes two desktop parts and four mobile chipsets, with one discrete offering in each category. The company said the chipsets would support AMD’s Athlon 64 X2, Athlon 64 FX, Athlon 64, Sempron and Opteron processors.
I have been impressed with SiS lately, lets hope they can still deliver unlike 5 or so years ago when you heard SiS you wanted to kill something
