Gardner Resources is looking to move 3.200 Desktops to Mac OS X.

While I'm happy for Apple, one has to wonder if there really is a benefit that merits this change.

New Information Ties Chavez Government to Snipers

[From Stratfor Subscription required]

...sources say government investigators have identified four of the rooftop snipers from April 11: an army major and lieutenant colonel assigned to the presidential guard and two DISIP agents. The sources say the government confirmed these identities nearly six weeks ago but has kept the information secret because it directly implicates National Armed Forces (FAN) and political security officials close to Chavez. They also say that all four shooters received their military sniper training in Cuba and belonged to an unofficial team that was coordinated outside FAN and DISIP command and control channels by Otaiza.

School Blogs.  Marcus Mauller.  Why doesn't each student get an iPod or equivalent to store all their work, and more importantly Radio?  That would allow students to roam with their published work, personal music, and docs etc from shared computer to shared computer.  A storage device is less expensive and more robust than a laptop, particularly for high school students.  For professionals, this solves the home/work computer problem. [John Robb's Radio Weblog]

This is an excellent idea! Although, as much as the student would like them, the iPod is probably too expensive a choice, a cheap USB (Firewire for the lucky schools with Macs) hard drive would cost less than $200. Add a comunity server, and that would be a school I would love to go! (I hated High School...).

Klez: Hi Mom, We're No. 1. It's neither clever nor original, yet the latest variation of the Klez e-mail virus has now been declared the biggest and baddest worm in history. By Michelle Delio.

More interesting than Klez's ability to entice vast numbers of users to open its infected e-mailed attachments is how the virus -- which is neither particularly clever nor cutting edge -- managed to turn some antiviral applications into spam-generating machines.

In many cases, network antiviral (AV) software filters are set to automatically respond to any incoming virus-infected messages with an e-mailed warning to the sender that a virus was detected in the received e-mail.

Klez's trick of spoofing senders' addresses resulted in floods of those warnings going out to the wrong people: people who did not send the virus and whose machines are not infected.
