iTunes account required for iPhone setup – Engadget
I just want to know what the big deal is? iTunes has been required for all music and video management of iPod, unless you have hacked it.
To me this is not a big deal and most of the people who will be purchasing an iPhone will already have an iTunes account.
I found this screen shot on the CNET website that discusses threats.
I was looking for information and see if any other threats had come up against Safari on Windows.
But as you see, the story, “Safari for Windows not so secure,” was written on December 31, 1969.
CNET must have had a lot of foresight to publish that story way back when.
CNET published a story this morning discussing how three researchers found different security holes within Safari for Windows.
“One security researcher Avi Raff called out Safari’s statement ‘Apple’s engineers designed Safari to be secure from day one.’ Raff was able to find a vulnerability within three minutes using publicly available fuzzing tools”
Read CNET’s article, “Safari for Windows not so secure“.
I would be careful for a while with Safari on Windows.
A reporter for The Courier-Journal in Louisville, Kentucky, was told that blogging at games was against NCAA regulations and was escorted from the game.
Brian Bennett had been blogging the third game of the Louisville – Oklahoma State Super Regional baseball game, just like he had done the previous two games when he was approached by a representative of the NCAA and told what he was doing violated NCAA regulations and the NCAA official pulled his credential for the game.

I just want to correct in earlier post where I said that Safari for Windows crashed my Google apps, “Don’t Download Safari for Windows – It’s Not Working Real Well”
Well apparently Google had an outage that caused about half of their subscribers to lose their subscriptions, “Todays Outage“.
Sorry Safari.
And I am a little upset that Google had this outage and didn’t notify people by GMail of the problem. I just logged in and everything was back. But at least it is fixed and I will download and try Safari again.
I just want to say beware of downloading Safari for Windows. It is in Beta and needs a lot more work.
Don’t download Safari for Windows.
I did and it has created problems for me. The main problem I found is that it somehow erased all my settings in iGoogle, Google Reader, Google Notebook, Google Docs and my news feeds that display on Google News. This happened when I set Safari to be my default browser. Continue reading “Don’t Download Safari for Windows – It’s Not Working Real Well”
CNET has a lot of coverage of WWDC and the Keynote by Steve Jobs.
Take a Look…
Watching the posts from the keynote on Macrumors Live.
There are already cool things happening.
It will be interesting to see what else happens and comes out.
I just want to commend Cost Plus #172 in Thornton, Colorado.
We were purchasing some Adirondack Chairs and the ones we wanted were at the bottom. They helped us get them and take them to the car.
Also there was a problem with the price on one of our items and they checked it out and adjusted the price.
They were really nice and helpful and it made for a pleasant experience to shop there.
Thanks.
