Hey, watch this page for a fun "Red vs Blue" video coming later today. Right now you'll get 404 error page, but it's hillarious. Something fun for your Friday. You .NET types should watch this.

Oh, and while I'm at it, one of the coolest apps I've seen in a long time is Skype. P2P telephone. I called my General Manager, Vic Gundotra, and the audio quality was better than our telephones. No kidding!

We're off to go down to Silicon Valley this weekend, so no blogging til Monday night. But, I just heard that there might be a fun Red vs. Blue video released this weekend sometime. Plus, I'll miss the start of the PDC Weblogger Feed (Kevin and Drew say they are gonna start it up this weekend). Wow, more than 100 bloggers already signed up for the PDC and five weeks still to go before the start of the show. That already exceeds what I thought we'd get. Speaking of that, PDC attendees, please go and vote for your favorite BOF ideas! (Hint: there's a weblogger proposal up there as well, I've already voted for that).

Christoph Schittko: "I can't take the whole Trustworthy Computing thing serious at this point."

Believe me, it ain't fun to work at Microsoft when we continually have bugs found in our products. It's the discussion at every lunch and every meeting I've been in lately.

Are we working on answers? Yes (with more to come).

50+ million lines of code, some of which was written more than a decade ago. I remember using 386's about a decade ago in Fawcette's first offices. They were never attached to the Internet. We didn't have email. No Web. I'm sure that guys who were writing code back then had no idea their code would be permanently connected to everyone else's computers and that criminals would try to break into their computers.

Not to mention, most people who used computers back then were geeks. My mom didn't have one. My dad had one, but he's a geek. A computer on every desk and in every home was a dream, even as late as 1993.

That said, no excuses. We've gotta fix this so everyone trusts their computers (including me). I hear Dave Cutler himself is working on this issue.

That said, if every computer were protected using the steps found here, we'd make it a lot harder for criminals to do damage to our computers and our economic system.

Scott Sargent: "What I don't like about technology."

This advertisement, from Dude Research, is hillarious. I wish they'd make it a bit more readable, though. Glad to see someone has a sense of humor. Hey, Chris Pirillo, this is up your alley! Oh, and Dave Winer, even has a plug for RSS in there. Heh.
