For those not familiar with Summercon, it is "a strong tradition of last minute disorganized last-minute planning".

DISCLOSURE: XSS Fun
If we are going to release security flaws which might lead us into an industry shakedown, we may as well go for the trifecta.
<<< DISCLAIMER >>> Please note that I have not written this article to enable people to steal music from MySpace artists - This is a ‘proof of concept‘ article. Please, do not steal music! If you are going to steal it then please do so knowing you are committing a crime and myself and theReformed have nothing to do with it.

Well, maybe not so much. However, Google has been pretty light on the keys in fixing a cross-scripting bug that leads to some pretty serious consequences for us, the end-user. The flaw in the handling of the code can compromise our very online privacy that is being taken from us at a snails pace as time goes on. The term is 'Phishing' and it is spreading online like an epidemic of Biblical proportions.
Here we are at the fifth, and most probably final, installment in this series! This article in this series which succeeds the first, “HOWTO: Mac OSX + Dell Latitude C840 - Part 1”, the second “HOWTO: Mac OSX + Dell Latitude C840 - Part 2“, the third "HOWTO: Mac OSX + Dell Latitude C840 - Part 3" and the fourth “HOWTO: Mac OSX + Dell Latitude C840 - Part 4“. We're going to tackle something fun today, your on-board 32-bit 128Mb nVidia GeForce 440 GO graphics card. An archaic relic with more variations than a chameleon can turn colors? Yes. Unfortunately, from word of DiegoMax, the probability of QE/CI being supported on these laptops is pretty remote. Alas, we need to at least get a larger resolution so let's get at it!
Sorry, no dice this round. After almost three-quarters of a year waiting, beyond the first and second quarters of 2007, the Office built for OS X will not be available until late into the year (December approximately) for Release to Manufacturer and wouldn't (legally) be seen by consumers on shelves until sometime in the first quarter of 2008. The announcement came earlier today on the Microsoft Mac Development Unit's MSDN blog "Mac Mojo" ( http://blogs.msdn.com/macmojo ). As a hardcore Microsoft product end-user, it irks me to have to concede that Microsoft is failing it's buyers.

Is Anyone Safe Anymore?
One might say that the U.S. justice system's accountability practices might be in danger in this generation, where relative, but separate incidents could be contributed to the delinquency of another individual. Such is the case involving a 'high-speed police chase' between Christopher Jones and the Phoenix, Arizona police department ( http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/07/27/helicopter.crash/index.html ), wherein the course of the chase, two CIVILIAN news agency helicopters collided in mid-air and went down. Preliminary reports by the NTSB estimated that the collision occurred due to the close proximity of the helicopters to one another, but have not determined whether it was any sort of avionics issue, such as a defective rotor system, that may have caused either to lose control.
