I've been using ActiveWin.com (and their XBox companion site) for years to get new information about Microsoft on a daily basis, but their draconian use of pop-unders on every page request has finally gotten the better of me. I am boycotting their site.
Anyone know of a good replacement for Microsoft related information that is timely and not driven from Redmond? I know of great XBox/360 sites, just no good Microsoft related ones. The Microsoft sites I find are usally either fan-boy MS sites or M$-hater sites. Neither of which are particularly helpful.
TIA

In the new version of the toolbar (and desktop search) launched yesterday, you can now have intelligent tabbed browsing! Alt-Click on a link opens a new tab window. Me likey...me likey lots!
This is a great document on the top ten application security holes that many sites are vulnerable to. These are application holes, not operating system or database security holes. These are insidious because many applications accidently leave these open in different ways. This document is great eduction for entire engineering groups on what to avoid in web site development.
Cool site that will allow you to create RSS feeds based on search criteria. Great for finding those hard to find computer parts.
I never open attachments, but this one 'almost' got me to. I am getting about 3-4 of these an hour now so some people are getting infected. Please be careful of any e-mails saying your PayPal account is going to expire. Don't Open that Attachment (meant to look like a link to the PayPal website).
Does this mean I'll be able to read the materials and put MIT on my resume?
Now that Verizon has been ordered to rat out their users to the RIAA,
Internet privacy is over...but maybe for the better. Sure I loved the
high-flying days of song swapping, but where is the line between privacy and
intrusion.
When the headlines are about catching file sharing violations, many people
are in an uproar. But several weeks ago when those same ISP's gave up their
user's names who were surfing child porn sites...we all applauded.
I am not bright enough to know where the line should be drawn but I would
rather give up sharing files anonymously and stop child pornography. Maybe
Internet anonymity isn't gone for good, but for now lets err on the side of
caution instead of the side of freedom.
All replies welcome, especially any that include the phrase "slippery slope".
