Microsoft Finally Patches Serious IE Flaw
Break out the marching band.After tons of media coverage, and suggestions from plenty of security experts, bloggers, and random people on the street that users switch to Firefox from Internet Explorer, Microsoft has released a patch to fix the latest zero-day exploit in the infamously insecure browser.
The update is available for IE 5, 6, and 7. Beta testers of IE 8 should install build 8.0.6001.18344 from Microsoft Connect. These updates change the way IE handles data and an error that hackers were able to use to hijack a user's PC. The fix should prevent IE from executing code that would allow an attacker to take control of your PC and steal sensitive data just by pointing you to a Web site.
We're glad to see the fix before the official monthly patching day, but you're still not off the hook, Microsoft. [From: Ars Technica]

Been that was for about 6 or 7 years now. I remember about 10 years ago hearing on the news EU and JP doing that and thinking they are crazy. Then t-Mobile came out with the best rates back them 1000 min for 40 bucks. At that point I understood. Why have a home phone when I cant use it anywhere else, and only make local calls.
