| | The internet worm !!

• Internet worm spreading rapidly


• Experts anxious over possible Net attack


• Microsoft Windows update


• Web attack may hit Microsoft

These are the headlines of all the major newspapers and news channels. Its been happening for a while now. It beats me as to why someone would like to do this - just to be noted, to stand up and be counted - nah not exactly cause no one actually comes up and takes responsibility of the attacks. Just for the pleasure of seeing systems crash and communications be hampered? maybe yes.

Everyone seems to have a problem with microsoft and bill gates - why , they dont have an answer. Probably cause he has done what others can only dream of. Coming to think of it, his products are integral parts of our lives now. Cant imagine using any other OS than windows, edit documents in other word editors, not making spreadsheets in excel,not making presentations in powerpoint. Has he ever forced anyone to use his products ? Has he ever charged high rates ? But still has compelled more than 80% of all PC users to use his products on a daily basis - now that is marketing and business for you.

Some complain that his systems are not perfect - but then who is? Dont planes crash? Dont ships sink ? Dont cars break down, ever seen ppl targetting the likes of boeing,GE or Ford cause some of their products had faults in them.

Ever thought about the day microsoft decides that it is time to shut shop - just like that, stop giving updates and patches?

You can hate 'em,curse 'em,detest 'em but believe me u cannot live without them. Atleast i cannot. So lemme finish typing this post in MS word, on my Windows XP, and post it using MS IE :)

Happy Independence day guys !!

pj of the day - once an elephant is sitting on a tree, munching on a mango. some time later a donkey comes along and tries to climb the same tree, when he reaches half way up the tree, the elephant asks him what is he coming up for, 'i want to eat an apple' replies the donkey. Puzzled, the elephant tells him that it is a mango tree that he is climbing. 'I know that, i have brought the apple along' comes the reply.

listening to Bring me to life - Evanescence.
