Looks like another ActiveX Zero Day exploit is out. I always thought that these were supposed to be the end of the Internet as we know it. They have always shown to be less than substantial. I guess that's a good thing.

Slashdot has a story about a facial recognition installation in Turkey. This is pretty scary stuff if you ask me. Sure, it's halfway around the world but once this kind of thing is tested and trusted it's only a matter of time before we are living in a Tom Cruise movie.

"If you had a wad of money sitting out in a public place, would you turn

Looks like the University of Utah was hit by the Conficker Worm. According to the Salt Lake Tribune there was minimal damage and no loss of data but the network was definitely affected.

Google has released Latitudes today. It allows you to track just about any modern mobile phone via GPS (sorry iPhoners, not yet). I don't know whether to be excited or scared. I guess it's just making something we all knew was possible more easily accessible.
Firefox has been updated to 3.0.6. I should have known. I just finished imaging all the labs. Make sure to hit help->check for updates today.
