Windows XP Service Pack 2 to postpone the patch by using
automatic-patch-blocking tools. Microsoft is now giving XP customers
using Windows Update/Automatic Update a deadline (April 12, 2005) by
which they need to finish preparing for SP2 before Microsoft pushes
SP2 out to them.

04/01/2005 06:55 AMIn sharp contrast to the harmless pranks that will be played on April
Fools' Day, deceptive phishing schemes are no laughing matter. To
strike a blow against criminals who prey on Internet users, the U.S.
Federal Trade Commission (FTC), National Consumers League and
Microsoft Corp. today urged consumers to beware of phishing schemes
aimed at stealing their identities.
Phishing is a high-tech twist on the all-too-common crime of identity
theft, where spam or pop-up messages are used to deceive recipients
into releasing personal or financial information into the hands of
criminals. The FTC reports that identity theft was the No. 1 consumer
complaint in 2004. And, for the first time, phishing appeared on the
top Internet and telemarketing scams lists gathered by the National
Consumers League in 2004.
Appearing at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., Lydia
Parnes, acting director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection,
Susan Grant, director of the National Consumers League's National
Fraud Information Center and Internet Fraud Watch program, and
Jacqueline Beauchere and Aaron Kornblum of Microsoft urged Internet
users to exercise the same caution when doing business online as they
would in the physical world and called for increased consumer
awareness of phishing.

Surgery April 12
04/10/2004 12:50 PMOn April 12 I'm scheduled for
anterior cervical decompression and fusion. As nervous as I am
about the surgery, I'm actually looking forward to it. I've been in
pain for close to two months now, and recently it has become almost
unbearable, so I'm glad relief is coming soon. Although I've felt
worse pain before (for example, I once had stitches in my head without
anesthesia, which kinda' stung), this is the first (and hopefully
last) time I've experienced chronic pain, and it
really consumes your life.
It will be a few weeks before I'll fully return to work, but I
should be able to handle light typing within a few days. In the
meantime, I plan to recover by eating several buckets of ice cream and
finally watching every DVD I've ordered from Amazon.com but never had
time to watch :)

04/02/2005 10:44 PMApril 1. A day of pranks. The first full month of Spring (at least
in the northern hemisphere). Most importantly for gamers, it's the
beginning of the second quarter, where the pace and quality of
releases begins to pick after the post-holiday fall off.
Unfortunately, fans of one game aren't happy as the new quarter
begins.
Because the game hasn’t received any patch love for
several months, players were already in a twist. This announcement
lead to some rants, raves and other displeased recourse. Can’t
really blame the players, but I had the feeling that this was an
inevitable outcome due to poor sales numbers for the
title.
Check out this week's Game.Ars to find out the name of the game, as
well as a summary of the week's gaming news and recent
releases.
