| 181060 | 2003-10-07 03:56:00 | I may have missed an erlier post about this, so if I have sorry. Ther is a new critical update for IE . It fixes a security hole that could allow your computer to be hack just by visiting a webpage. The worst thing about this security flaw is that you will be affected REGARDLESS of what browser you are using. So even if you use Mozilla, Opera or another you can still be hacked. I suggest you you go get the fix to avoid this happening. | Odin (227) | ||
| 181061 | 2003-10-07 04:05:00 | Yes, go and get another update for your insecure system. Mac users can continue to use the computer for useful work. |

| 181065 | 2003-10-07 10:12:00 | I think with the number of patches that have been coming out of Redmond lately it is probably neither harsh nor false. | mikebartnz (21) | ||

| 181067 | 2003-10-07 10:42:00 | "shaving my head with a cheese grater" . Looks as if this report could have some validity . Those who surf the Web using a Mac tend to be better educated and make more money than their PC-using counterparts, according to a report from Nielsen/NetRatings . The study also said Mac users tend to be more Web savvy, with more than half having been online for at least five years . And the Mac faithful are 58 percent more likely than the overall online population to build their own Web page and also slightly more likely to buy goods online, according to the report . Kelly said the greater affluence and education level of those who surf using a Mac is attributable in part to the company's comparatively pricier machines, as well as to their perception as a status symbol and their greater market share among those in the publishing and design industries . Nielsen/NetRatings said that 70 . 2 percent of Mac users online have a college degree, compared with 54 . 2 percent of all Web surfers . |
