Microsoft files cloud data portability patent • The Register - http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009...
"The company describes an architecture that involves executor, detection, organizer, and summary components that will received and verify notices that a cloud service is to be terminated, find the relevant data and service, prioritize the data or service, and give a summary. According to the filing, Microsoft's technology will preserve the data, meta-data, or service that's being terminated, roll it back to a state that allows migration, find a similar service comparable to the one already use, and then provide the migration." - xero from Bookmarklet

@temporalshadows I don't dislike football, it's just not high on my list of fun ways to kill time. Though it is far above watching baseball.
@temporalshadows Then again, getting punched in the face is slightly above watching baseball.
GRID is near impossible to play with a keyboard. I will have to pick up a steering wheel if I want to play it.

I don't care how legit your app is, if it auto-starts with Windows and doesn't offer a GUI-based option to disable it, you're malware.
Headed out to Hueytown for today and Friday.
@temporalshadows Thinking about a midnight mall/store run tonight, you up for it? Or something similar anyway.

Nasty iPhone Worm Hints at the Future
"Last Saturday, researchers at several security firms reported that the new worm, dubbed "Ikee.B" or "Duh," spreads using the default password for an application that can be installed on modified versions of the iPhone. Once the device has been compromised, the worm grabs text messages, and searches for banking authorization codes used by at least one bank, before sending the codes to a central server. Earlier this month, another iPhone worm was released. It exploited the same password weakness to spread itself, but did not try to steal personal information." - xero from Bookmarklet

Moon-Bombing a Success, Confirms Lunar Water Deposits
"NASA today confirmed that they found what they were looking for, in the plume of dust thrown up by the lunar explosion: Definitive proof of moon water. The point isn't to find life on the moon, but rather a potential resource for future space exploration. The hope is that instead of having to launch water into space from earth--which would be prohibitively cost expensive--we could use the moon as a waystation." - xero from Bookmarklet
