Malwarebytes definition database stolen, misused by IOBit {Download Squad}
Nov 3rd 2009 7:45PM Don't stop using it. It's a solid product. Just send them a message that you don't want to be part of any corporate thievery and that you are watching them.
That should do it.
Malwarebytes definition database stolen, misused by IOBit {Download Squad}
Nov 3rd 2009 7:18PM The trouble with definition files is that in order to provide the greatest level of protection, things get added willy nilly. Doesn't matter if the program doesn't exist. Doesn't matter if it's a legitimate program.
There is an anti-virus arms race going on in the PC world and in order to be protected people are going to get hurt. That's just the way it is.
IObit should explain how they screwed up, apologize, and keep on rocking. The definition files are NOT the key to a good AV program - the light footprint, richness of features, and ability to protect end users without soul destroying false positives are what this war is all about.
Malwarebytes has inflicted a wound. There is no reason for them to go for a headshot right now. Compete on the product and smack their hand when they "borrow" your definition database.
µTorrent 2.0 beta released {Download Squad}
Aug 11th 2009 2:46PM You are wrong. Not just that, you seem confused. How is eMule a bit torrent replacement at all? I invite you to check your ignorance at the door and do the following:
1. Install uTorrent
2. Go to a legitimate torrent site and start a legitimate download.
3. Go into your system to see how much of the resources are taken up.
4. Notice that this is an incredibly elegant solution that might be the best coded application that has ever been written.
Court sides with Kaspersky, tells Zango to suck it up {Download Squad}
Jul 1st 2009 6:28PM Zango is bankrupt. Do your homework (Google, Bing, Ask.)
Zango was crapware but the legal argument Kaspersky used was crap and the court knew it. If you actually read the ruling, it says that Congress needs to change the law. The only way Kaspersky won was because they were called a "service." They were called a "service" rather than an application solely because they used a server to update their software. Let's see - that would fit the model for EVERY application.
Now - thanks to this crap ruling - any application that updates from a server can WIPE OUT any other application and never get sued because they are a service, not an application. Got it?
Stream your iTunes music on the web using pulpTunes {Download Squad}
Jun 11th 2009 10:12AM If you're looking for something that allows you access to all your music and your friends, try Simplify Media. For the iPhone, SimplifyMedia2.0 is about $3 and allows you to search ALL repositories of music (I run three PCs worth of music plus have access to my sister's Mac and two of my friends PCs.)
Simplify allows me to play my FLAC files (I like lossless) since the Simplify server doesn't care what compression is used, as long as it's not encrypted.
Simplify Media update, take 2 {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
May 3rd 2009 3:38PM You can't please all the people all the time.
I finally made the jump to Simplify and there is simply no going back.
I now have all my FLAC files with me when I'm mobile and I don't have to downgrade them to Mp3 any more. Wa-hoooo!
Pay the $2.99 before it goes up to $4.99 and stop whining about the upgrade. You have NO idea how much of an upgrade it is until you pay for it and get it.
The New York Times on Vodka: The Cheap Stuff Is Just as Good {Slashfood}
Mar 30th 2009 8:47PM Pour the cheap stuff through a pre-rinsed Brita water filter 5 or 6 times and you won't even get a hangover.
Charcoal filtration FTW!
Violence against Jews began in Germany 70 years ago. Seven places to go to remember {Gadling}
Nov 10th 2008 7:01PM Concentration camps were where the Jews were taken to be held in high concentration until they were taken to the death camps to be exterminated.
Thank you for keeping the memory of this alive as it is more and more likely to be lost to the world with each year.
The most terrifying thing is not that the memories of these innocent will be forgotten, chas v'shalom, it is that we will have to go through it all over again because the lesson was lost.
Google Chrome First Impression: Is It What You Expected? {Download Squad}
Sep 3rd 2008 4:06AM I want my RSS back, pronto. I have an old, old machine with limited RAM (my good machine died) and now I can surf the internet again. Adios Fox & Safari for Windows.
I may use a Hosts file to block the ads. They're too much. Just out of morbid curiosity, if I blocked the Flash animations and detestable advertising, do you think the RAM footprint would go even lower?
Last thing - Click&Drag one of the tabs off the browser. Very cool. Now you have that "Tab" as its own free-standing app. That's what I'm talking about.
MiaMia : Ask Anything, Get Email or SMS Answers. Sometimes. {Download Squad}
Aug 31st 2008 4:20AM Comrade, I think it can only answer questions in English. People (Bangledeshis) can only find the answer and type so fast.
