Make the hurting stop!

While I use Macintosh for my daily computing platform (and love it), Windows pays the bills. And, as I’m sure we have all heard, this week has been an exciting week for Windows users. I worked 26 hours on Tuesday and Wednesday doing virus damage control. Today is day 3, and I am completely out of juice. I had planned on writing an elaborate entry about this, but, I just plain don’t have the energy for it.

Various Updates

First off, ecto for Windows sucks but rocks on Mac OS X. They can’t possibly share any codebase because they are night and day.

Holly found this heartwarming story for me. Thanks baby!

Microsoft “Genuine Advantage” cracked in 24 Hours

I don’t usually use this as a real “blog” but I’m bored. I had my wisdom teeth removed, and I’m on Vicodin, so, stfu. Microsoft started forcing people to verify their Windows serial numbers this week before it’d let them download updates from the Windows Update site. 24 hours later, it’s cracked. I, for one, find this totally hilarious. 24 hours later, someone has found a one line javascript applet that disabled the check. Brilliant!
