Apple Fascists Flip Flop on Baby Shaking

Apple Fascists Flip Flop on Baby Shaking The "Baby Shaker" iPhone application was sold in the App Store for two days before being deemed inappropriate and removed.

IE8 is finally out of beta and can be nabbed from Microsoft's' IE8 home page or download centre. I would have expected it to show in Windows Update as well but as of the time I write th...

33% use the same password for everything Hands up if you're guilty? That many of you, huh? I won't sit here and judge you with an undeserved smugness, because a long time ago I also suffered from monopassworditis. As the title says, a study done by security firm Sophos reveals that 33% of web surfers use the same password across multiple web sites, while only 19% never use the same pas...
