I've been away for a while (first vacation, then illness), but I'm back and ready to discuss the latest in tech-related news.
Here are some recent headlines that caught my eye:
Apple fixes iPhone SMS flaw - A security flaw which would allow hackers to take control of the iPhone has been fixed with the release of the iPhone 3.0.1 update.
Microsoft announces pricing for Windows 7 family pack - Prices for Windows 7 family pack were confirmed at $149.
Should journalists should be on Twitter? - The New York Times Insight Lab asks its members if NYT journalists and editors should be on Twitter. The results? Seventy percent said no.
That's one hot iPhone! - Entry on a Dutch blog claims an iPhone 3G melts a car seat.

Have a great weekend! Keep yourselves (and your iPhones) cool!

I have a 50 dollar used computer from a well known company from San Antonio! There's was good deals offered to their employees when they replaced their old computers at Holt Caterpillar! I bought a few! 2.8 gigahertz pentium4 machines!
August 3, 2009 at 2:04 p.m.my next machine will be a linux machine!
MS is not my favorite company I hate all their new products! I still run a win2k machine, it does everything I need to do with it. I refuse to use the new operating systems they have come out with lately! I don't think the new windows will be any better than vista! But some people just have to have the latest greatest o/s! Chumps!
August 3, 2009 at 2 p.m.Welcome back and Hope you're felling better!
August 3, 2009 at 1:32 p.m.Apple will always be better at fixing problems than MS.
MS will always try to be cheaper than Apple.("cheap" is the key word here)
YES! Jounalists should be on twitter!
That meltdown is an underhanded ploy by MS! (That's just my biased opinion.)
Actually I think the low tech dangers of high-tech are not focused on enough by the media. Silicon food for thought?
