Random Weekend Stuff…

thApparently this years CES is over. I barely noticed it started.

As I opined nearly a year ago. Microsoft Security Essentials support for XP ends on April 8th too.

Seems that Microsoft finally got the message. We want our desktops and laptops to run like desktops and laptops (a REAL start menu???). Not like phones and tablets.
They ought to announce this on a Jet Airliner.

There are no critical updates scheduled for this months Patch Tuesday. Oracle is also gonna patch a bunch of stuff that day.
