Gates pushes for 'trustworthy computing' [IDG InfoWorld]

"Every week there are reports of newly discovered security problems in all kinds of software, from individual applications and services to Windows, Linux, Unix and other platforms"

Maybe I'm reading too far into this, but two observations

  1. Interesting jab at *nix. F.U.D. attempt, perhaps?
  2. "Other Platforms". Sounds like Gates thinks he has Apple "beaten". Or he wanted the jab at *nix to be all that more poignant.




The End of The X-Files [Slashdot]

9 seasons!!!??? Good run. (Are they still planning to do the movie? Perhaps wrapping "everything" up that way?). But, sad to see them go.
