Comment on Why OS X Lion is the biggest test for digital downloads by stan
People have been downloading OS's for years from MSDN, but I guess it is not newsworthy until the itards start doing it.

Meet The World's Biggest Computer Security Risk
The world's biggest security concern... is you.
Forbes quotes security expert Mark Rasch as saying "There's no device known to mankind that will prevent people from being idiots."
Most successful hacking attacks are due to so-called social engineering, meaning exploiting human, not computer error. At the end of the day, many times, it's our own stupidity or carelessness that leaves us vulnerable.

Google Lat Long Blog: Street View: Our biggest update yet
Wednesday, June 29, 2011 at 10:25 AM
Since we launched Street View on Google Maps in the U.S. in 2007 we’ve added 26 more countries and enabled you to explore images across all seven continents. Today we’re excited to share with you the latest expansion of Street View because it’s our biggest update yet.New imagery is now available for 13 of our established Street View countries: Denmark, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Romania, South Africa, Taiwan, Japan, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
I like wine so I’m particularly interested in seeing the new imagery around Italy’s famous Chianti region and other beautiful areas of Tuscany. Across the mediterranean in Spain, the home of another renowned wine is available with the addition of the Rioja province.
And as a food lover I’m keen on discovering Denmark’s beautiful chain of Smålands Islands - famous for its fruits that have inspired many Danish chefs and the new Nordic cuisine movement. In neighbouring Sweden there has been a significant increase in coverage across the country with Lake Siljan now included, along with the popular tourist towns of Rättvik, Leksand and Mora.
The southernmost tip of Africa is also now available with the addition of South Africa’s Cape Agulhas. The cape is where the Indian and Atlantic oceans meet and is notoriously hazardous for sailors.
And across the other side of the world, you can view the Pacific Ocean from Japan’s Hahajima, one of the remote Ogasawara islands.
In addition, this latest batch of street-level imagery includes higher resolution panoramic views of places throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles and San Diego. This is great for both locals and potential visitors of these popular California destinations, who can now see even more realistic views of landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge, Staples Center, and USS Midway.
Of course, these are just a few of the many fascinating places in today’s release of new Street View imagery, so we encourage you to look around and virtually experience them for yourself right in Google Maps. Be it for armchair travel from the comfort of your computer, or to figure out where you might want to visit on your next vacation, we’re thrilled to continue our expansion of Street View.

The Biggest Announcements Microsoft Made Today About The Future Of Xbox (MSFT)
Microsoft's keynote at E3 today was largely about Kinect, and it's no wonder why.
Microsoft's motion capture controller called Xbox Kinect has propelled Xbox sales ahead of every competitor, and has made the Xbox 360 even more of a family friendly gaming platform.
Among other announcements, Microsoft announced some new features for Xbox 360 including Kinect Star Wars (as close as you can get to swinging a light saber), cloud storage for game saves and profiles, and voice control that pervades the entire Xbox experience.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is the coolest game we've seen in a long time. New York City is under attack. You have to watch this video to believe how intense this game is.
Kinect Fun Labs imports a 3D version of yourself
"Kinect Fun Labs" brings the latest Kinect gadgets and tech to your Xbox Live dashboard.
One cool thing we saw today was a cool feature that lets you scan yourself into the game instead of picking clothes and features for your avatar.
Kinect will recognize your hair, eyes, nose, mouth, and clothing, and put you in the game in 3D.
Voice control will be tied in to the entire Xbox experience
From games to search, voice control will play a big part going forward.
Microsoft demoed searching for movies, games, and tv shows using only your voice.
