Internet Explorer Beta 2 Is A Complete Waste Of Time

Sunday, August 31st, 2008

Okay so today I downloaded internet explorer beta 2 via the automatic updates cue and realized that I am having the same prolem as beta 1. Here is a screenshot of what I get

Everytime I search Google that is what happens. That wouldnt be a big deal if Google wasnt the #1 search engine in the world. What is microsoft thinking. Its been 2 months since this has been out and nobody seen that it wasnt working on the gateway site to the internet. Or maybe its just on my 3 computers. Please someone correct me if I am wrong.

Many Connections to weird Ports??

Monday, August 25th, 2008

Well, I saw this title in one of our analytics &I have not had the pleasure of writing about computer security related topics for awhile. So, I think its time for one. This question came directly from a major search engine & some how this person landed on my blog. I will be coving ‘weird connections to TCP/IP ports’, while, this spans all operating systems that have some sort of connection to other computers over any distance(excluding Firewire, USB, parallel ports.) What you will need to know is first some basic information on TCP packet and IP(extremely basic nothing to indepth about headers as it will go beyond the scope of the article). Secondly, how to check up on what is happening with some cool, built in commands everyone should know that owns a computer. Finally, we will figure out if anything fishy is happening on the local computer in regards to worms, trojens etc. by an examination of the ports that are showing as opened and/or listening.

I was unsure what to write about today. I wanted to write something in regards to Cuil & how cool their privacy statement actually is. Well, has the potential to be a great pro-privacy search engine… But, to get a dire contrast of what censorship is & what it can actually lead to I needed help from Google.. But, more importantly I needed help to see how the censored web is served..
