Symantec Vista White Paper Links to PatchGuard Crack
Since it’s apparently only found in 64-bit versions of Vista (and therefore only an extremely small percentage of current machines will ever see it), I’ve yet to hear much about PatchGuard other than Symantec’s insistence that it’s going to severely compromise the ability of other security vendors to protect users by preventing low-level access to the Windows kernel.
I’m sure we can expect a law suit from Microsoft any day now…
Yahoo! Answers Webmaster’s Wishes With NOYDIR Tag

Google Redirect Broken: Are you losing traffic?
I’d never encountered this before1. It’s interesting to see some of the things that Google is doing to help combat phishing, malware, crapware, etc. sites.
Although this appears to only be partially successful (why just for commas?), I wouldn’t be surprised to see similar tactics grow in the near future. I also wouldn’t be surprised to see AdSense make its way onto those pages…

Inside the Monkeysphere
Thanks to reddit, I found Inside the Monkeysphere earlier. This really reminds me of the ultimate “incoherent babble” I originally tried to pull off on this blog - a lot of totally random comments, all rolled into one big story that actually, sometimes, has a point.
I highly recommend the read, particularly if you need a little chuckle. Throughout the laughter, try and remember that the whole process actually makes sense.
