The UAC default is all wrong in Windows 7, much safer to allow nothing even if it does add more hassle for the user. That said, the Sophos testing was rather misleading I think. I wrote about it here...

It would seem that there is something of an ongoing battle in the world of online Chinese gaming, and World of Warcraft is right in the midst of it.

As I reported...

There is free music out there, which is legal. You just have to do the donkey work and find it.

We will not be pointing you at sources of illegal music downloads however.

You cannot. You have to buy a genuine copy of Windows.

DaniWeb will not help you find an illegal copy of Windows or a source of illegal keys, read the Keep it Legal...

If piracy and illegal downloaders really are killing the music industry, how come more singles have been sold this year than ever before and people who file-share spend more money on legal releases...

Yep, DaniWeb is a global community and we have members from all over the world contributing here.

You probably call it Halloween, for myself and other pagans it is Samhain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samhain), but for the cyber-gangs it is phishing time. Seasonally-themed spam is on the up at...

Some Twitter postings just demand you read them two or three times to take in what is being said in 140 characters. One such posting was made today by Mozilla CEO John Lilly which simply said:...

Done :)

Forget the Windows 7 launch, the real big news from Microsoft this week is that it has reached a deal with Twitter to include real-time tweet data in Bing searches. If that wasn't excitement enough...

I think the real problem is that Twitter is like a giant child, growing very quickly but still not mature. So when it runs around the playground knocking the small kids over it doesn't actually...

Well quite.

"What do we want"

"Political change"

"When do we want it?"

"Are you free next Thursday for lunch and we can talk about it then"

GigaTweet (http://popacular.com/gigatweet/) has been counting the total number of messages posted to Twitter in real time, and the rolling count is almost hypnotic. Overnight the 5 billionth Tweet...

One point which I didn't make in the review is that the speaker unit is not magnetically shielded, so iPhone users will need to switch into airplane mode to prevent the annoying mobile phone signal...

Some high profile people have been caught up in this kind of scam. "As phishing messages go, it was never likely to be the most successful. A high ranking member of the British Government asking his...

Indeed. As soon as I see a survey about how important white teeth are has actually been conducted by a toothpaste manufacturer I tend to stop taking notice :)

Just when it looked like every avenue to prevent the extradition of self-confessed NASA Hacker Gary McKinnon had been exhausted, especially when just last week a couple of High Court judges denied...

It's just small enough to fit into your pocket, uses a specially developed high-tech gel and vibrates like crazy. But this latest must have addition to the iPhone accessories cupboard is no sex toy:...

Not only do I still read the printed word, but I still write books that are published in dead tree format as well.

As an author, I have to say that there is nothing quite like getting the...

If it was a DAB radio I'd be more interested. Most FM radios built into MP3 players are, frankly, pretty awful to listen to in my experience.

You most certainly are not alone in being surprised, my friend.

Odd isn't it, how Microsoft kicked up a fuss when Google announced the Chrome plugin for Internet Explorer on the grounds that it could make the browser more insecure. Indeed, it went as far as to...

Done

Done

As promised in the review, I now have word from CoPilot about the in-app purchase pricing for the traffic live service:

"it will cost £19.99 for the year, and will include fuel prices and local...

UK broadcaster Channel 4 has signed a deal with YouTube to bring full TV programmes online, streamed for free. It's the first time that any broadcaster in the world has made such a comprehensive...

I have now added screenshots of the TomTom app, and there is also a review available of the CoPilot satnav app for the iPhone here (http://www.daniweb.com/reviews/review230373.html) for comparison.

CoPilot Live 8 Mobile Navigation on the iPhone has been a runaway success at the App Store, consistently keeping ahead of its TomTom rival in the 'top grossing' app charts at least in the UK Store....

This thread is now closed - DaniWeb will not be party to discussions about taking down websites.

There's a forum fit for pretty much everything, but if a user truly cannot find somewhere then they should PM me and I'll point them in the right direction.

Yes it can - if you do agree with something then vote it up. As long as people use the voting system then the abusers will be drowned out and deserving posts will get positive scores. If the 'wisdom...

Actually, I won't be giving this a try right now as it appears doubleTwist does not support the iPhone 3.0 OS only iPhone 2.0 at the moment. Damn it.

I hate iTunes with a passion, but love my iPhone with an equal passion. Might have to give this doubleTwist thing a look.

The European Commission has called on EU member countries to do more, and do better, in fighting spam and other online privacy threats. In a newly published study...

My first web browser was Lynx, just text at the time. Am giving my age away now :)

I am still happygeek, no id change here. When staff writers post a news story rather than a normal forum post, it...

I love Twitter, and post a lot of links to security related stories via my @happygeek (http://twitter.com/happygeek) account. But now I am getting a little worried that I might suffer the same fate...

Er, did you need a toilet just then?

Seriously, most people tell us a little more about themselves than just 'weeh' you know. :)

Remember when a web browser was so much more than just a web browser? It seems that the days of the all-you-can-eat Internet suite are back as the SeaMonkey 2.0 release code...

I have to admit that while the geek in me loves thin and sexy (it also loves steampunk clunky to be fair) I am starting to think that there has been something of a push towards things being too...

Sorry, jbennet is correct.

I also suggest that you reference the work in your report and cite any code which was given to you.

You asked for help, got help and now that help is available for...
