Windows only: In addition to reording your Windows taskbar items, previously mentioned Taskbar Shuffle can now reorder your system tray icons as well.
As much as I liked previous versions of Taskbar Shuffle, its footprint always seemed a little too big to gain startup privileges.
After taking a look at the latest, though—which includes taskbar reordering, system tray reordering (by holding Ctrl while dragging), and middle-click window button closing—Taskbar Shuffle has more than proved itself worth the 6MB memory footprint its uses.
If you’re obsessive about organizing your taskbar, the free, Windows-only Taskbar Shuffle is a must-have.

Look, we’re fine with Apple gloating about the security of OS X in their Mac vs. PC adverts.
After all, we have yet to see a large-scale worm released into the Macintosh community.
However, the fact that a worm hasn’t been released on a Windows-esque scale likely has less to do with Apple’s superior coding than the size of their market share, i.e., OS X is a smaller target.
That might soon change, however. A vulnerability has reportedly been found and more importantly, exploited by an “independent researcher” known only as “InfoSec Sellout.”

Apparently, a previously undisclosed vulnerability in the OS X mDNSResponder (which Apple has patched before) allowed Sir Sellout to cobble together a worm dubbed “Rape.osx.” InfoSec Sellout claims to have released the worm into a controlled environment thereby infecting a network of about 1,500 OS X systems by nabbing root and dumping a text file as an evidentiary foot print.
However, the worm’s author claims that it can be broadly weaponised with a payload of choice across both PPC and Intel-class Macs with just a bit more work.
InfoSec Sellout will disclose the vulnerability to Apple only after his/her “research is complete” and after an appropriate level of compensation (er, InfoSec Ransom?) received.
Dubious as that sounds, for good or for worse, it’s the way the game’s currently played.

En la página de Wellington Gray se ha publicado una curiosa tabla periódica: en lugar de agrupar a los elementos quimicos, en esta tabla se encuentran los sitios web y portales de Internet más relevantes en la actualidad.
La idea es original, aunque ya en otras ocasiones se ha tratado de dar un aspecto visual a la gigantesca red de Internet.
En este caso el autor ha seleccionado a las webs más relevantes – en su opinión, claro – para irlas clasificando en distintos grupos. En lugar de los tradicionales grupos como los gases nobles o los metales nos encontramos con los buscadores, los agregadores, los blogs e incluso los sistemas operativos.
