jobsMicrosoft really wants you to buy Windows 8. Like now:
“Since a security update will never become available for Windows XP to address these vulnerabilities, Windows XP will essentially have a “zero day” vulnerability forever.” Source
“Windows XP is 21 times more likely to be infected with malware than Windows 8.”
and
“Windows 7 is 6 times more likely to be infected with malware than Windows 8.”
and
“Protection against threats begins with modern software and hardware with the latest operating system.”

Jobs the movie is getting absolutely pummeled on Rotten Tomatoes. My favorite quotes from critics.
“When a movie presents its subject as a messiah of intuitive design who insisted that corners never be cut and compromises never struck, it should at least attempt to emulate such exacting standards.” Susan Wloszczyna
“Two movies seem to be wrestling for control [here]. One is a poor man’s Social Network that depicts Jobs as a brilliant, antisocial jerk; the other is an embarrassing piece of hagiography that treats Jobs like a messiah.” Ben Sachs
“You either already know all this about Jobs – because you were a true believer in him as The One True Tech God – or you don’t because you don’t care.” Marshall Fine
