Someone attempted to auction off information on a vulnerbility within Microsoft Excel. It reached $1,200.00 before the auction got shut down. The person who started the auction claimed that it was for informational purposes only… yeah right.

Makers of the very popular Ad-Aware anti-spyware program have come out with a removal tool for the Aries or Sony rootkit.
“Lavasoft answers the challenge by giving you the Beta of the ARIES Rootkit Remover (Sony Rootkit), which aims to remove the Sony Rootkit for good. Currently a standalone tool, this application provides a reliable, trustworthy, and safe way of removing the root-kit, unlike Sony’s own root-kit remover that has been known to cause blue screens.”
Check out the above link. The one, the only, the Dell 2405 wide screen flat panel monitor is on sale @ $899.99. I already have two 2001FPs but I would LOVE two 2405s. Make sure you have a video card that can power this bad boy. I’d recommend one of the newer nVidia 7800GT or GTX cards which have a dual link DVI port meaning it can power digital displays with resolutions higher than 1600×1200.
I’m not sure how many of you are familiar with this game but this is pure nostalgia. I remember playing this game when I was only maybe nine or ten years old. I loved this game. It is what introduced me to role playing games. I was being baby sat by my mother’s co-worker and he was rather young. He had an SNES and he let me play this game. I was hooked. From that point on, I have been in love with the FF series. However, after I believe FF7 on the PSOne, I stopped playing as the game got too hard and or too long winded for me to finish it. I hate it when you keep dying at a hard boss and then you have to re-trek all the way back to the boss and then end up dying again. I cannot stand that in video games. Although I think I could alleviate that by becoming better at said game but I don’t have the time to do that. In that case, I’ll be buying this for retros sake. I’ll put up a short review and final thoughts on it when I buy it.
