Get rid of Internet Explorer!

China has released the world's most advanced virus.

The virus is a three stage attack which apparently can infect users of Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8. At this stage the damage has been limited to IE6 however.

Several companies have been attacked and the news is mostly anouncing about Google being attacked. That is the least of everyone's concerns. The most scary aspect of the new virus is that it has been used against a little-known company called Northrop Grumman. Northrop Grumman make:

Other Companies to be hit by the virus include Symantec(manufacturer of Norton antivirus), Adobe and Dow chemicals. What can you do to help alleviate the situation? Well you can stop using Internet Explorer and start using Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome. I recommend them both, Chrome is fast, Firefox does everything you could possibly want. I use Firefox.

The free operating system - Linux comes in a wide variety of flavours from different companies, the most popular of which is Ubuntu. Ubuntu is a recommendation of ours for users who want a reliable cost effective operating system which is secure and reliable. In fact we recommend Ubuntu as a security enhancement measure. There are less than 30 viruses (in all history) for Linux. Compare that to the estimated 140,000 viruses for Windows, and you'll understand why people say you don't need a virus scanner on Linux.

Users considering switching to Ubuntu are welcome to call us whether they get their Ubuntu from us or elsewhere. You don't have to choose between Ubuntu and Windows either you can reliably run both, this is called dual booting.

Microsoft release pricing on Windows 7

You read it here first! Or maybe you ddn't, anyway Microsoft have released the retail pricing on Windows 7, and claim that they will release it, world-wide, October 22nd. No surprises and no bonuses for those who lashed out and bought Vista, you must pay the same price to upgrade to Windows 7 as the users who stayed with XP. I should also state that in my opinion Microsoft have lost the OS lead. Most of what you get in Windows 7 is available now in Linux. Also if you are a power user it's more complicated. Breadcrumbs often leave you wondering exactly where in the file system you currently are, but seem to be something Microsoft has wholeheartedly embraced.

Here's the pricing:

Of course you already know that we will have it cheaper and probably the cheapest price in the region.

There have been complaints already one blogger said "pay for this, I bought Vista and this is what I should have got in the first place".

Israel threatens world peace.

Israel has approved more settlement in the Westbank. Land taken from the Palestinian people. The discontinuation of the expansion of Jewish settlements is a prerequisite to peace talks between the two nations.
