Windows exploit takes advantage of kernel space font rendering
Yeah, the kernel handles EOT.
I knew the Windows kernel does a lot of GUI stuff. Still, this drive-by web site exploit is such a bizarre, yet obvious consequence it had to be bookmarked.

Windows users: switch to Microsoft’s new free Anti-Virus
Anti-malware companies must be panicking. Microsoft’s competition might finally force them to make their software usable. Microsoft Security Essentials is available for free for users of “Genuine” validated Windows copies.

There are a few nicely trippy ones. Great improvement over previous Windows default artwork.

Youtube to end support for Internet Explorer 6
More major sites should be doing the same.
Internet Explorer, even the later versions, is one of the things keeping me from bothering to learn any serious web coding. For instance, as of today, this website will not render properly even in IE8, at least pages with embedded flash videos.
I personally find the whole idea of The Redmond Clown Computing Company fucktards slowly being forced by the market to develop one, single product involving standard compliance somewhat hilarious. Microsoft’s market dominance is centered around giving business software buyers what they want in theory while smugly defecating on end users and usability. These shitheads are holding the technology industry back by not simply switching IE to Webkit.
BTW, end users who aren’t looking for anything specific in a web browser should be switched to Chrome. I’m getting seriously tired of Firefox myself, but I’m staying with it for the extensions (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).

Microsoft’s strange new online video ads for Internet Explorer 8
I kind of liked F.O.M.S. and to some degree, G.R.I.P.E.S.. It can’t be easy to come up with something clever to say about a product known to everyone who cares as utter shit. But hey, IE9 is likely to be good enough for basic users in a Safari-like way.

Google Chrome, new crazy fast multi-process based WebKit browser
The advantages of the engineering choices made by the developers are discussed in Google’s blog entry and in this comic.
In related news, IE8 beta 2 is really bloated.
