| 538352 | 2007-04-05 23:34:00 | Did you mean Cursor ... or not?For anyone running M$ products, the spelling "curser" is appropriate in a number of situations. When I first saw it I thought it was a deliberate pun... :D On another note, Windows Secrets newsletter recommends installing this Animated Cursor patch but points out that this will cause problems for anyone running the Realtek HD Audio application - the control panel will stop working unless you also visit Realtek site and download a patch for that as well. Early reports in a CNET discussion forum (windowssecrets.com eID%3D2449588%232449588) indicate that some other software may be impacted as well. |

| 538353 | 2007-04-05 23:43:00 | Dial-Up, there are still us mortals around that still use it :) Actually I still use it even though I know it is slow compared to BB. I have held off getting BB for a long time because I still believe that the data caps are way to low compared to places like Sweden who don't have any and they have 4 million people in a country the size of NZ. I will probably get BB later on this month when I replace my computer. |

I mean... if you're on dialup there are limits to the amount of data you can upload and/or download. So you've got a technology imposed cap already. Why not have a cap but use it faster? ;) |

| 538355 | 2007-04-06 03:03:00 | Just a personal issue that I have with current NZ internet limitations where I am the one paying the bill. I use it at work (where I am not the one paying the bill) and have used FTP in work situations. I don't have a problem paying up to 39.95 a month for BB but that should include decent download speeds (7-10MB minimum as is the case in many overseas cities- Sweden has 100MB fibre in their cities) and a decent cap of around 40Gig or so. That would make watching downloaded on demand TV and movies on my machine a feasible reality. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 538356 | 2007-04-06 03:11:00 | Meanwhile back on topic Microsoft to fix at least five flaws next week Still missing: a patch for a Word bug that's been exploited for two months April 05, 2007 (Computerworld) -- Even though it rushed out an emergency patch this week for the Windows animated cursor (ANI) flaw, Microsoft Corp. still has five more updates for customers next week, the company said today as it pre-announced fixes for flaws in Windows and Content Management Server. But a two-month-old zero-day bug in Microsoft Word that has already been exploited by attackers is not on the list. Four of the five bulletins scheduled to debut on Tuesday involve Windows, while the fifth patches Microsoft Content Management Server, a discontinued Web filtering server. At least one of the Windows updates will be rated critical, the highest threat ranking in Microsoft's four-step scoring system. The Content Management Server bug, meanwhile, will also be pegged as critical. www.computerworld.com |

| 538357 | 2007-04-06 06:52:00 | Just spotted this one on BBC news tech site Cursor hackers target WoW players World of Warcraft players are being targeted by hackers exploiting flaws in how Windows handles animated cursors. The flaw came to light in late March and lets attackers take over vulnerable PCs via booby-trapped websites. Warcraft players seem to be one of the targets because accounts for the game are potentially worth significant sums of money. Microsoft has issued a patch for the flaw early to combat the rising number of attacks. news.bbc.co.uk |
