Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I am awesome.

Yes you are!

ION, Don't Hit F1 in Windows If a Web Site Asks You To

Microsoft has announced a scripting vulnerability affecting Windows 2000, XP, and Server 2003 users using Internet Explorer. A dialog pop-up that convinces the user to hit F1, the commonly known "Help" button, could then run code on the machine, which would lead to, well, all kinds of unfortunate things. A patch will arrive, but in the meantime, let no web site direct you to call for help.

Folders4Gmail stopped working this morning

They must be rolling out something that screws it up, because it just stopped working for me.

The digital video cable I bought from the Apple store is bad. Will they exchange it if I have the receipt but can't find all the packaging? (I bought it on 2/20/10.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've installed Star Contact for Android OS. It is an improvement on the standard in that the search is better, but not great. It doesn't seem to search company names.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Are you still on the contacts tab, with its T9-style pad? When I switch to the search tab, search by company is the first selection in the pick-list, and it works okay for me.

Switch to the search tab how, from where? In Star Contacts or normal Contacts?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

In StarContact, I have four tabs at the top of the screen: Contacts - Phone - Call log - Search.

On the Search screen, there is a field for keyword entry, a "Search By:" pick-list, and a Search button. The pick-list offers Company, Phone Number, Email, IM, Address, and Note
