Ubuntu and GNOME jump the shark
I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 a week or so back in order to get a more recent version of SCons. 11.04 dropped me into the new “Unity†GNOME interface. There may be people in the world for whom Unity is a good idea, but none of them are me. The look is garish and ugly, and it takes twice as many clicks as it did before to get to an application through their supposedly “friendly†interface as it did in GNOME Classic. No, dammit, I do not want to text-search my applications to call one up!But the real crash landing was when I found out that the Unity dock wonâ€...

Windows Security Improvements

I honestly expected better.Long ago, Microsoft announced that it would merge the then NT and Windows 9x lines of products. Wow! That means a file access control system, logging, different accounts and filespaces for accounts! Finally! We would have a secure version of Windows for our homes!And we do have the potential. If you opt for the home versions of Windows, the ones most likely sold with a...

Can we believe our eyes?
Several days ago, one of our customers submitted a sample (SHA1: fbe71968d4c5399c2906b56d9feadf19a35beb97, detected as TrojanDropper:Win32/Vundo.L). This trojan hijacks the hosts “vk.com†and “vkontakte.ru†(both social networking sites in Russia)and redirects them to 92.38.209.252, but achieves this in an unusual way. A common method used to hijack a website and redirect it to a site of the attacker’s choice is to add an entry in the Windows hosts file located in the %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc directory. However, when we open this file on an ...
Automatically Updating Charts for Additional Data in Excel
Excel shines at turning your data into charts—graphical representations of your data. You can easily create a chart based on a range of data in a worksheet. Normally, if you add additional data to your range, you will need to once again create the chart or at best change the range of cells on which the chart is based.If you get tired of modifying charts to refer to new data ranges, there are a couple of shortcuts you can try out. The first shortcut works fine if you simply need to "fine tune" the range used in a chart. (This approach only works if the chart is on object on the same work...
