Microsoft AntiSpyware Flags Norton

I found this quite amusing: according to the Washington Post, a definitions update to Microsoft AntiSpyware has reportedly caused the program to identify Norton AntiVirus as a keylogger and password stealer and to suggest making component removals that will cripple the Norton installation.

Yep, sure looks like Microsoft is getting ready to launch Windows OneCare. ;-)

[Update: Hmm... according to CNet, Norton products aren't affected, but rather only Symantec AntiVirus and Symantec Client Security. Who do we believe: Washington Post or CNet?]

My WordPress is Mutated

I am convinced that my WordPress installation is half WordPress 1.5 and half WordPress 2.0. As detailed previously, I had a bit of trouble upgrading to WordPress 2.0. Besides the fact that my theme has a functions.php file now, the main thing I have noticed is that my Quicktags toolbar has changed. That’s the post composition toolbar that has links to common HTML tags.

First of all, the “b” button used to be called “strong,” and the “i” button used to be called “em.” In addition, I don’t remember the “del,” the “ins,” the “more,” or the “lookup” buttons being there. But I’m glad those new buttons are there. Cool stuff.

I have to give credit to WordPress. Even though it’s a half-upgraded installation, it still works. ;-)

Hmm… snow hurricanes? ;-)

Wal-Mart Selling Office 12?!

When I was googling for info on Office 12, I saw this unusal Google AdWord:

Hmm… either Wal-Mart has an exclusive deal with Microsoft or they’re just trying to lure visitors to their website. But after clicking through on the ad, I was taken to a product page for Corel WordPerfect Office 12. Go figure. :-(
