- MacRumorsLive Gets HACKED Covering Macworld Expo 2009Yesterday
-
This is just plain silly. The MacRumorsLive site (http://www.macrumorslive.com) got hacked only about 25 minutes into them covering the keynote. I took a quick screen capture of when the hack first reared its ugly head:
After the tasteless insert of “STEVE JOBS JUST DIED” into the live blogging, things just got progressively worse with a bunch of “hackers” claiming to be from “ebaums world”, “4chan” and other sites and ma.thew.net (I believe, taking this from memory). It wasn’t pretty. In fact, it got pretty ugly after a while. Their twitter account was taken over as well. They publicly announced that they had to end their coverage via Twitter.

I will be at (or currently am at) Macworld 2009 this week. As you can see, they have been waiting for me (GRIN – see picture below).

- Fix It: Opening Control Panel Crashes Windows Explorer on XP/VistaDecember 29 2008

Have you ever tried to open your Control Panel on Windows XP (or Vista) and every time that you attempted it, you received a “Windows Explorer has Stopped Working” message and your entire Windows environment loses all of its functionality? It can be very bothersome and extremely annoying.This happened to me the other day and there wasn’t a very good explanation or fix anywhere (unless you do a lot of digging through forums and such). So I have done the research for you and found some work-arounds and fixes to get your control panel behaving the way it should.

The holiday season is upon us and let’s face it, my kids have lost their minds. Just like the sun’s gravity, they are being pulled closer and closer to extreme naughtiness. Despite my best efforts to prevent this pull towards chaos, their blatant disregard for my authority (for some reason, my wife still has a commanding presence over everyone, me included) and general holiday excitement that has them vibrating in their chairs has driven my kids towards insanity. Ok, but whose kids aren’t a bit nuts around this time of the year with the promise of vacation trips, no school and, of course, presents; it’s hard for me not to be a little insane myself.So in order to maintain some type of order within our household (the big, cracked wooden spoon still holds some threatening power tho
