An Internet Explorer bug has been found days ago. Microsoft almost immediately on Tuesday, July 5, 2005, posted a temporary workaround to a bug in Internet Explorer that could let an attacker grab control of a PC.

The vulnerability involves the “Javaprxy.dll” file, which is part of the Microsoft Java Virtual Machine, and handles ActiveX controls. A hacker could exploit the bug to make IE crash or even insert his own code onto the system.

Temporary Workaround For IE Bug

We have seen some factory tours of computer device manufacturers before like, Gigabyte Factory Tour I posted back in April. I just come across Google Factory Tour a few hours ago, so thought of sharing with you all.

Google released on their press center about the factory tour which took place on May 19, 2005. There is a webcast clip of the tour, but I need to warn you first, it is a VERY long clip !! I spent not less than 20 minutes watching it, and after the 20 minutes Marissa Mayer (The 2nd presenter of total 13) is still continuing her speech. Anyway, no doubt it is very informative for anyone interested in knowing Google more. The clip covers how and why Google services are created.

Ok, as promise to a blog buddy of mine, Kah Soon, that I will share a small plugin to show the post count in each for the the article as shown in the picture below.

Please follow the steps:-

• 1. Download Top10 plugin for WordPress.
• 2. Login to your database, either through phpMyAdmin or telnet.
  Create a table called mostAccessed, by using this SQL query:-
  [sql]create table mostAccessed
  (
  postnumber int not null,
  cntaccess int not null,
  primary key(postnumber),
  unique id(postnumber)
  );[/sql]
• 3. Find this line to your index.php:-
  [php]
  < ?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
  [/php]
  Then add the following code below the line:-
  [php]< ?php if ($id > 0) { add_count($id); } ?>[/php]
• 4. Look for this line in index.php too:-
  [php]< ?php the_title(); ?>[/php]
  Then, add the following code below the line:-
  [php]< ?php if (!( is_home() || is_page() )) { ?>
  < ?php show_post_count($post->ID,
  $before=”This post has been viewed “,
  $after=” times since “); ?>
  < ?php } ?>[/php]
• That’s it. :)

The post count will appear whenever the single page of the article is shown.

As the AMD sued Intel case continues, here is an update to the antitrust lawsuit.

AMD has won a motion to serve document preservation subpoenas against computer makers, retailers, distributors and small system builders almost immediately after filing the motion Friday, July 1, 2005, as part of its claim that Intel is violating the antitrust law and put pressure on their vendors to use its x86 processors rather than AMD’s. In other words, AMD is granted to right to view third party’s documents, including their vendors’ communication logs and documents.

It is no doubt, the use of such documentary evidence is expected to play a key role as AMD attempts to prove its antitrust suit in the District Court of Delaware.

Quoted:
The motion sought a judicial order permitting AMD to “preserve relevant evidence that is in the possession of specified third-parties.” The company said its lawyers will now “engage in discussions with 30 third-parties in an effort to implement the order so as to preserve evidence while imposing on them as little an administrative burden as possible.”
