IE bug leaks private details from 50m PDF files

Mat Barrie
FAIL

Bug? Really?!?

This isn't a bug in the slightest, and honestly I'm shock... oh forget it. Anyway, every browser does this - IE, Firefox, Chrome. Any "security researcher" who is actually posing this as a bug and security flaw seriously needs to go back to Xboxes and PlayStations, and stay the heck away from PCs.

Steve Jobs rescues freetards from BBC iPlayer wilderness (for now)

RE: BBC Apple Biased

Hmm, I think you've managed to prove the theory about "mactards" - why does it offend you so that other people don't want to use a bloody iPod? I mean, just because someone would prefer to use an Archos (personally, I prefer my Zen) you feel that you need to call them an "in-bred minority" and drop kick their device simply because it isn't "Jobs Approved"? And just a note, if the genre of item got it's name from the device that became synonymous with it, we would be calling them Nomads, since that was the "player du jour" back in the day.

You also say that everyone calls RSS feeds linking to MP3 files podcasts. Well, actually, they don't.

And to your comment about the civilized world wanting to know about Apple launches - seriously, not everyone does. I care as much about Apple launches as you do about Microsoft launches - I imagine that you'd be one of the first to complain if the BBC covered a Microsoft product.

Summed up, you're a jerk.

Spammers debut FDF spam

@Andy

Actually Andy, quite a lot of those malware infested boxES are compromised Linux shared hosting servers. So many web hosts pay no regard to security when setting up their servers. Security breaches are not the exclusive domain of Windows.
