What’s next, a couch made out of a 42U rack?

 

Patch Tuesday!

Once again it's that time of the month. 2 new patches from MS, 1 critical. Details here:

What's interesting is that a kernel level patch is listed as only "important" and not "critical" because it requires valid credentials to perform the exploit. As I recall, Gartner quotes 80% of all break-ins are internal. That said, I think the 2nd patch needs a bit more review before ignoring it.

Interesting use of modern technology

In one of the most interesting uses of modern technology, I ran across this interesting gadget.
