Patches and Headlines...

First off - Microsoft released some "out of band" patches - not on their regular cycle of first Tuesday of the month. This is because Blackhat is meeting this week and revealing a vulnerability. Sooooo... if you have not patched your system yet - please do so immediately. Thank you!

We now return you to our regularly scheduled blog post.

Because I've been so busy I can think of nothing else to blog, here are your headlines.

***
Whereabouts of Jackson's Body Remain Unclear

Well of course. What else could it be.

***

911 caller in Gates case says she's glad truth is out

Lesson 1: if the perps are black - do not mention this under any circumstances, even to describe the suspects to police.

Lesson 2: the news media will make up their facts to fit the story narrative

Lesson 3: people from Cambridge can't bring themselves to criticize the media even when said media makes up a story nearly ruining a life. Amazing.

***

Yahoo and Microsoft joining forces on search

Question: Will you get results if you search for "the meaning of life, the universe, and the blue screen of death?"

***

Under the heading of DUH!

'Organic' May Not Mean Healthier

***

Photograph: swallow flies through two-inch gap at 35 miles per hour

Guess that answers the question...

If you will excuse me, I'm going to watch more Monty Python clips on youtube. Because I can.

Did people really think organic was more healthy? Really? I didn't read the article, but saw one on my other news site. Any organic I bought was to be rid of pesticides. Strawberries, peaches, stuff like that where washing it was next to impossible. Other than that... there is no reason.

5 Joanie - there can never be too much Python - never!

Bou - it's like "no fat" or "no sugar" or whatever the stupid fad of the moment might be. Give something a particular label (like "organic" or "green") and all kinds of people suddenly think it's all good and healthy. *sigh* One wonders how they made it to adulthood with such limited powers of critical thinking.

8 Actually, it is possible Teresa. You just sort of end up in a stuttering coma, muttering something about Holy Grails and sperm being sacred and stuff. Trust me, I've seen it.

9 Joanie!!!! You weren't supposed to tell... ROFLMAO.
