Perfect use for a Trojan
Computerworld - New Trojan swaps porn for Koran:
"A new Trojan horse program circulating around the internet this week appears to be on a moral mission to stamp out adult websites, according to security research firm Sophos.
Instead of snooping for sensitive financial information or secretly taking control of an infected computer, the Trojan, called Yusufali-A, monitors web surfing habits. When it spots an objectionable term such as 'sex' or 'exhibition,' in the browser's title bar, it hides the website and instead pops up a message taken from the Koran, said Gregg Mastoras, a senior security analyst with Sophos."

The Ghost in the machine
Computerworld - 'Car Whisperer' puts hackers in the driver's seat: "If you happen to hear a disembodied computer voice tell you to 'drive carefully' next time you're behind the wheel, you've probably met the Car Whisperer.
Released late last week at the What the Hack computer security conference in Liempde, Netherlands, Car Whisperer is software that tricks the hands-free Bluetooth systems installed in some cars into connecting with a Linux computer."

Let the fight begin.
Computerworld Article: "Microsoft takes on Google with Virtual Earth
Web service and international versions on the way
...
Through a client application called Microsoft Location Finder that can be downloaded when a user clicks a "Find Me" icon in Virtual Earth, Microsoft accesses the MAC (media access control) addresses of wireless access points that a user's device can reach, whether or not the user is logged in to any of them, he says.
Microsoft has worked with third parties to assemble a database of router MAC addresses and the latitude and longitude of those access points. Location Finder finds the access points in the database and then triangulates the location of the user's device based on the signal strength of those access points, Law says."

At a loss for words
Download details: Access 2003 Add-in: Source Code Control: "This download contains the Access 2003 source code control add-in for communicating between both Microsoft Office Access 2003 Service Pack (SP) 1 and a source code control application (like Visual Source Safe 6.0). "
1) Why is this not offered in the original install?
2) Why have I not heard of this before?
3) Just on time for team systems to break it ;)
*UPDATE*
Don't bother.
I could not get it to work.
If you can let me know... all I get is am menu bar that never activates.
vapourware strikes again :(
