Mac users rant about Mac OS X update glitches
Mac users have reported an unusual number of problems installing Mac OS X
10.5.7, the huge security and feature update that Apple unveiled on Tuesday.

Microsoft puts Mac users at risk with patch policy, says researcher
A security researcher has called foul on Microsoft for doing just what it has
thrashed hackers over for years: revealing information that can be used by
hackers to hijack computers before a patch is available.

Apple: Exec team, not Jobs, to deliver WWDC keynote
Apple said today that an executive team will deliver the keynote at the
Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) June 8, but didn't mention CEO Steve Jobs
as one of those expected to take the stage.
http://cwflyris.computerworld.com/t/5022737/283856142/190717/0/
Apple delivers jumbo security update for Mac OS X
Apple on Tuesday patched 67 vulnerabilities in Mac OS X, including a pair of
flaws that researchers used in March to pocket $5,000 each in a noted hacking
contest.

Linux certifications: Hot or not?
Liquid error: You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.split

Switching My Dad to Linux - Part One
You might think that, as a Linux guy, I spend all my time converting friends and
family to Linux. This is an epic cliche of the Slashdot-like Linux people, who
will often post a comment like: "I switched my grandmother to Gentoo and she's
never looked back! I had to teach her to use the optimization flag when
compiling code, but now her system is running sweet!"

FAQ: Why choose SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop?
The answer is simple. It costs less, so you don't incur exorbitant licensing
fees. It was designed with users in mind, so it's easy to use and it
interoperates with your existing systems. And whether you want to run SUSE Linux
Enterprise Desktop as a general office desktop system or tailor it for use as a
thin or thick client, it's flexible and extremely secure.

IT Blogwatch: WWDC: Snow Leopard "late"; no new iPhone... WWSJD?
It's IT Blogwatch, and the Apple developers conference rumors are swirling. What
would Steve Jobs do?
Yesterday, Apple appeared to announce that Snow Leopard was behind schedule and
scotched rumors of a new iPhone. Richi Jennings watches some bloggers neutralize
the reality distortion, while others hope against hope for a Jobsian visitation.
Not to mention some truly awkward family photos...

Preston Gralla: Four things Apple can learn from Microsoft about security
Yesterday both Apple and Microsoft issued whopper security patches. The way they
were handled shows that Apple has a lot to learn from Microsoft about security.
Here are the four most important ones.

Seth Weintraub: iPhone at WWDC? Déjà vu all over again
Analysts are predicting that WWDC will be a Snow Leopard-only affair. Wrong!.
Here's why:

Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols: Linux does have a future on netbooks
Desktop Linux must be doing something right-it's got Lenovo saying that it's
dead on arrival.
http://cwflyris.computerworld.com/t/5022737/283856142/190724/0/
Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols: What was the first netbook?
People are talking about what device was the very first netbook. That's puzzling
since I think there's no question about what the first netbook was, but most
people don't seem to see it.
http://cwflyris.computerworld.com/t/5022737/283856142/190725/0/
Preston Gralla: Lenovo: Linux has no future on netbooks
I've long said that Windows 7 may mean the death knell of Linux on netbooks, and
here's more evidence: A top Lenovo analyst says that Windows 7 will dominate
netbooks, and Linux will fade away.

told they will need to locate all connection strings in all programs and change
them over the weekend to point to the new server ...
