Short sellers rather than investors is my bet, not long now...

It's my sad experience that testing is often the first casualty of the 'current economic crisis', in fact that's why I'm sat here drinking coffee reading El Reg and posting this right now rather than reviewing SoRs and writing test scripts =O/

I have no idea what the situation at McAfee is like but I'd like to bet that some of their offices are considerably emptier than they were this time last year...

I like it; works great on my Axim's VGA display and the tap&swipe control system works a treat. WAY better than PIE.

However, although I have Flash Mobile and it's javascript enabled, couldn't stream YouTube vids; either get an 'out of memory' error or if simply shuts down.

None...

MS will simply re-define darkness as the industry standard.

How can someone heading a technology giant be so short sighted..?

"Livingstone said there weren't enough applications that needed such speeds"

Maybe true now, maybe not, but certainly won't be tomorrow...

I'm reminded of the illustration of a frog in slowly heated water boiling to death; how can we be so blind / complacent to the gradual enroachment of facism upon our government and society? (disguised as things like 'anti-terror' law, 'political correctness' and Gordon Brown's 'moral compas')

Orwell must be turning in his grave saying 'I told you so'. While the movie 'V for Vendetta' looks less and less like a fantasy and more like a documentary every day.

Not so secret, if you can read Hebrew..? (I can't, obviously)

I often configure new PC's and laptops as a favour to friends and I've found an increasing amount of undesirable software being installed by OEMs.

Recently, for example, I configured a new Dell Laptop and found that not only did it come with Google junkware installed (google toolbar) and a whole load of microsoft 'Live' junkware, but more worryingly, it also had 'Search Assist' pre-installed which is blatant ad/spyware and a significant security vulnerability.

People really need to start blowing the whistle on OEMs like Dell and others who for a few 'pieces of silver' are beginning to sell their souls, (or at least the digital souls of their new systems) to malware publishers.
