An anonymous reader writes: Archos 5 Internet tablet with Android (160GB) is truly good news, for the music freaks who were curious to get a media player with bigger storage capacity. Archos has done a great job, a media player on the one hand, and a web browser, with a greater memory like 160GB, on the other.

Worse, there are currently hundreds of posts on the Microsoft Windows 7 forum from frustrated users stuck in an “endless boot loop.” Equally frustrated Microsoft support personnel are trying to guide customers through an upgrade process that isn’t going smoothly to say the least.

Slatterz writes "Security giant Symantec claims to have found the public release of source code for a Trojan that targets Skype users. Trojan.Peskyspy is spyware which records a voice call and stores it as an MP3 file for later transmission. An infected machine will use the software that handles audio processing within a computer and save the call data as an MP3. The file is then sent over the internet to a predefined server where the attacker can listen to the recorded conversations."

I would instead argue that a year is:

1 light-year = 9.4605284 x 10^12 kilometers
1 light-year = 5.87849981 x 10^12 miles

long. In other words, one light year.
