So we trust a malware author and follow their instructions to remove all traces of the malware that they wrote? Riiiigghhttt. Sounds exactly what scammers do. Your unaffected PC will soon be infected once you follow their instructions.

Its cheaper to stay on windows. When you to a Total cost benefit analysis of remaining on the current Windows platform compared to switching to Linux including: software deployment, Hardware deployment (if required), user training, support staff re-training, application migration, etc. Its so much cheaper to patch up the current software that the company has already outlaid $millions compared to changing over. Sure some companies will slowly migrate distributing the cost over a longer period of time, but most wont take the leap.

So true! The TV and movie delivery system is so broken in Australia. Delayed compared to other countries (as mentioned above), pay to watch (using paid TV services, high prices for these pay TV services, then when it does come out on DVD, the DVD is seriously over-priced. Its a broken product delivery system. I cant see it changing soon either with the limited media ownership options we have. I saw a movie ont he weekend "The Dictator". What rubbish. I paid $15 each for me and my GF ($30), popcorn and a coke $10, totalling $40 for utter rubbish that Hollywood can put out. Why would I? I can download it quicken than it takes to get the movies, watch it on my big TV in the comfort of my own home, Microwave popcorn at $2, bottle of coke $2. Thats $4 versus $40!!! Sorry TV and movie industry; you gota get better products and a better delivery system to compete. .

This looks like the begining of the end for Facebook. Companies that pay for their posts will get the most user reach. Hmmm, sounds like a business model for making money, not social interaction? I closed my account recently due to getting the same old crap posted from the same old people (the ones I interacted with on FB - not the ones I actually care about reading, because I dont interact with them in FB land; I usually only interact with them in real life). After this change is implimented I can see may more following.

Comment Sony (Score 2) 142

This comes at the same time Sony announces a $6.4 billion loss. Im sure they will blame music piracy, yet Apple is making those same billions in profit during a GFC. Can anyone see that one business model is overtaking the other? - Sony obviously cant, and have missed the bus too.
