Microsoft Security Essentials receives an update

2010-06-29_072104

Microsoft Security Essentials receives an update today

Interesting enough when I installed it – the icon disappeared with no prompt for a restart – This is on a WIN7 64bit System.

Manually restarting the application seems to have fixed this issue.2010-06-29_072449

Always scares me a bit when an AV program does not seem to update properly.

MSE: Microsoft Security Essentials – 1 Week in…..

Issues with Microsoft Security Essentials:
Here are mine so far:

1) Upon Install on two of my XP machines – Both used to have MacAfee Security Suite (Fully Removed) and BLINK from Eeye (Fully Removed) Both Machines will display the XP Windows Firewall Warning Box on startup intermittently. This is the box saying you have no firewall operational. This is only on boot and only till the boot sequence catches up and then the dialog is gone and the Firewall shows good to go. I have submitted a support ticket. The Result of which is two suggestions: Add MSE to firewall exceptions (Which I had to do manually because it did not seem to add itself) and also run MS Install Cleanup Utility (which I did to look for previous security related installs and none were found) – Firewall Dialog still in intermittent.

Tweetdeck goes mobile and big changes for the desktop application

Repost from the Tweetdeck blog:

TweetDeck goes mobile and makes for the clouds

When I started developing TweetDeck, almost a year ago, I was trying to solve a very specific problem. Twitter provided an amazing new source of information but was already becoming unwieldy. When I missed a tweet from one of my real world friends I realised there was no way to weight the importance of people I followed or easily digest the avalanche of information. Thinking about this I realized that this was an increasing problem across the entire Web – not just with Twitter. More and more, sites are serving consumers streams of information rather than static web pages. And today’s browsers aren’t set up to help us filter and digest this new format.

Great Read……The Lost Fleet Series

 

The Alliance woke Captain John "Black Jack" Geary from cryogenic sleep to take command of the fleet in the century-long conflict against the Syndicate Worlds. Now Fleet Admiral Geary’s victory has earned him the adoration of the people-and the enmity of politicians convinced that a living hero can be a very inconvenient thing.

Geary knows that members of the military high command and the government question his loyalty to the Alliance and fear his staging a coup-so he can’t help but wonder if the newly christened First Fleet is being deliberately sent to the far side of space on a suicide mission.

Reading: Alien Invasion: The Ultimate Survival Guide for the Ultimate Attack

51W7oerxbkL._SL500_AA300_

What if there really are aliens and they do attack?  Read what two scientists reveal in this “how-to” survival manual for the space age. 

Alien invasion.  Unlikely? As unlikely as Pearl Harbor?  The extinction of the dinosaurs?  A meteor strike that levels whole forests in Siberia?  You get the drift.  Some events produce such a massive setback to life, the Earth and to humanity that we must understand and prepare for them, even if the chances are low that they’ll come about.  In fact, it will be criminal and abrogation of our duty to future generations if we do not get ready!  But where to begin?

Drs. Travis S. Taylor and Bob Boan have the answers.  Both are experienced scientists, physicists with expertise in both defense and military signal intelligence and experience working with both the Department of Defense and NASA.  These are intellectual heavyweights who have a clear idea of the possibilities of alien contact, the calculations of whether or not that contact will be friendly…and what to do if it’s not.

An amazing journey through what we do – and do not – know about how to defend ourselves from space.  Sure, that day may never come in our lifetimes – but everyone should have a copy of this lying around JUST IN CASE.  Heck, better yet, why not commit a few of these scientists solutions to memory! Just in case.

About Travis S. Taylor’s ground-breaking popular fiction:

“…explodes with inventive action…dazzling, cutting edge scientific possibilities…” – Publishers Weekly

About Alien Invasion:

“In a business that strictly separates technology and conjecture, this is a well considered, very comprehensive work. United States Space is a serious business, but what IF there is an external threat?”— Dr Byron Knight, NRO Chief Scientist, MASINT

“…the definitive book on the defense of earth against a potential alien incursion….the book also serves as an important primer on the potential future of warfare on every level. It is tightly grounded in current day realities of war and extrapolates thoughtfully but closely about future potentials. It should be on the reading list of anyone who is serious about national security and the future of war.” — John Ringo, New York Times best-selling author of military SF

“It looks like the time has come to take a serious look at planetary defense from all aspects. This book introduces the subject in a way to stir thoughtful and intelligent debate. Hats off to the authors.” — Gerald B. Helman, former US Ambassador to the UN Geneva and Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs

About the Author

Dr. Bob Boan has been an active member of the space community for over a quarter of a century, with expertise in remote sensing and communication systems and concepts using both radio frequency and optical technologies. He has been involved in developing systems for civil, commercial and military applications.
