Still running Windows XP SP2? Why?

OK, I get why many Windows users haven't moved from XP to Windows 7. For one thing, while you can upgrade some XP PCs to Windows 7, chances are you really need to buy a new PC. And, whether you're just buying a new PC for yourself or a few thousand for your company, cash is tight these days. But, why the heck is anyone still running XP SP2!?
I was shocked to see that, according to security risk and compliance management provider Qualys, that half of its corporate customers were still using Windows XP SP2.

Did Apple Update Mac's Malware Protection--But Not Tell Anyone?


Perhaps Microsoft isn't alone in issuing some security patches on the down-low. A new report from security software makerSophos claims that Apple this week silently updated anti-malware protection in its Mac OS X operating system. In fact, the patch was so hush-hush that Apple failed to mention it in either the release notes or security bulletin that came with its Mac OS X 10.6.4 upgrade, which included the mysterious security fix.
Sophos senior technology consultant Graham Cluley, in a Friday blog post, asserts that Apple quietly patched the Mac's malware protection to thwart a backdoor Trojan horse that could allow hackers to control an iMac or MacBook remotely.

Verizon's Droid X: Everything There Is To Know


Well, gang, it's official: The next Droid is almost here.
Verizon Droid X SmartphoneVerizon confirmed the existence of a new Motorola-made Android phone called the Droid X on Thursday. A newly launched section of Verizon's Web site teases the device, showing an image of the phone along with the caption: "The Next Generation of Does: Droid Does."
Verizon's site says the Droid X has a 4.3-inch display, HDMI output, and the ability to capture 720-pixel video. (The site originally said "720p screen" but was later changed, presumably as a clarification, to say "captures 720p.")
The new info falls in line with a Verizon Wireless media event scheduled for next Wednesday, June 23 -- yes, the day before that other high-profile smartphone will be released. Executives from Verizon, Google, Motorola, and Adobe are all slated to speak at the invitation-only affair, entitled "Unleashing the Next Generation of Droid."
Officially, that's all we know. Unofficially, there's a whole other world of information.
