According to this article, the number of viruses and worms aimed at Microsoft Windows has increased 400% between January and June! Wow, that is incredible! Is this caused by the tall poppy syndome?

Just browsing Louis Parks’ (aka Potato Man) blog and saw an interesting registry hack… It’s a registry “tweak” to enable and disable Shockwave (Flash animations)… Altering the registry to manage add-ons in IE under SP2 As I mentioned the last time I posted a tip that may damage the system registry you should always backup [...]

Looks like I missed out on some news, Carrier Devices announced that they will be releasing 4 brand new Microsoft Windows Mobile based devices to Australia in October.
