Putting the security software offerings from 35 different vendors through their paces, researchers at Matousec conclude that all are susceptible to an exploit that could hobble Windows-based devices.
<b>Inatux:</b> "Let's look at it mathematically, "GNU / Linux" means GNU divided by Linux. How does that make any sense? At best it implies Linux is dividing GNU, making it harder to work and communicate with contributors; which is simply not true."
<b>Click:</b> "Just this kind of problem, in my opinion, is a very good reason why the 10.04 LTS should have been more like a refined, bug-fixed Ubuntu Karmic (9.10) rather than an alpha for what might get fixed in Ubuntu 10.10 or 11.04."
<b>Howtoforge:</b> "This tutorial shows how you can set up a Kubuntu 10.04 desktop that is a full-fledged replacement for a Windows desktop, i.e. that has all the software that people need to do the things they do on their Windows desktops. The advantages are clear: you get a secure system without DRM restrictions that works even on old hardware"
<b>LinuxPR:</b> Fluendo S.A. announces its first webinar entitled "Solving the Legal Puzzle of Linux Deployments" aimed understanding the legal implications o0f Linux deployments.
The promise of immediate payback is strong motivation to move all networking services – even voice – to the cloud, but it isn't quite that simple.
<b>Linux Journal:</b> "Part 1 of this series introduced arpeggiators in general and profiled the QMidiArp application. This week we conclude our survey with a look at two more arpeggiators for Linux musicians: Hypercyclic and Arpage."
<b>The Register: </b>"Two years ago, cosmonaut and Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth challenged open sourcers to turn the Linux desktop into a piece of art. Shuttleworth's Canonical has now launched Ubuntu 10.04, which goes a long way towards that Mactastic vision."
In the face of rising and increasingly sophisticated threats, software giant offers up a framework for classifying and responding to incidents of cybercrime.
As winter blows itself out and spring blossoms, Microsoft's troops are digging in to provide compelling new features and updates for its Bing search engine.

Following revelations about a zero-day vulnerability in older versions of its Internet Explorer browser, Microsoft has broken with its custom and announced plans to ship an "out-of-band" patch.
For users of older versions of Windows pressing the F1 key could trigger a new zero-day vulnerability that taps into a flaw in the way VBScript processes help files in Internet Explorer.
I admit it: I'm slightly jealous of Microsoft server administrators. You see, in the Linux world, we have the power to create crazily robust and creative systems, but we're often reinventing the wheel.
<b>Packt:</b> "We will begin by creating the terrain for the underwater environment. In the sequel of the article, we will learn how to add vegetation, pebbles and corals. After which we will discuss how to add distant terrains, lighting effects and finally composition."
Saying it has discovered a new type of "click fraud" scam, Microsoft warns users and puts pay-per-click thieves on notice that it's got their number, filing a pair of lawsuits to head off the new scheme.
For Canonical, there may well be a silver lining in cloud computing that could finally lead the company to Linux profitability as it looks to convert users of the free product to a premium version.
The social networking site has plenty of security problems of its own making to resolve and, in the interim, professional cyber thieves are exploiting other vulnerabilities.
Sortie du SP1 de Windows 7 avant la fin du mois ?
Microsoft publie une mise à jour qui le laisse penser
Mise à jour du 27/10/10 par Hinault Romaric
Microsoft vient de publier une mise à jour Windows 7 et Windows Server 2008 R2.

Il n'en fallait pas plus pour relancer les rumeurs sur une sortie imminente du SP1 de Windows 7.
Pour mémoire Microsoft a publié en octobre
<b>Linux User & Developer: </b>"The first three months of the year were defined, in the technology sector, by some very scary numbers. Just feast your eyes on some of these."
<b>NixCraft:</b> "There are some misconceptions that shell scripts are only for a CLI environment. You can easily use various tools to write GUI and/or network (socket) scripts under KDE or Gnome desktops."
