Dell Acknowledges Security Hole In New Laptops
What? You didn't order a security hole with your new laptop? That's okay, Dell gave you one anyway.

A pre-installed program on some newly purchased Dell laptops that can only be removed manually by consumers makes them vulnerable to cyber intrusions that may allow hackers to read encrypted messages and redirect browser traffic to spoofs of real websites such as Google or those belonging to a bank, among other attacks.

What Should Yahoo Get Rid Of?
What was the first thing that popped into your head when you read that headline? CEO? That's what I thought too.

The Sunnyvale, California-based Web giant lists roughly 60 products and services in the US, but the portfolio is in such disarray that Yahoo itself can't keep track of it. Clicking on some services, like Contacts, yields a broken link. And there are links to other services, like Profiles and Directory, that have already been shut down.

LifeLock Used To Electronically Track Woman
At first I was like "who uses LifeLock for anything?" Then I read this.

Imagine you found out that your former spouse had opened a fake LifeLock credit monitoring account in your name, and then used it to follow your every financial move for two years? Then imagine that no one at LifeLock will take your query seriously, even after the police get involved.

Hey, did you guys know that the professional guessers out there seem to believe the adoption rate of Windows Free will be faster than all those other version of Windows you had to pay for. ASTOUNDING!

Half of all organisations will have commenced their Windows 10 rollout by January 2017, putting it on track to be the most widely installed version of Windows ever, according to Gartner. "For businesses, we expect that implementation will be significantly more rapid than that seen with Windows 7 six years ago."

SilverStone Tundra TD02-Lite
The review crew at NikKTech have the SilverStone Tundra TD02-Lite all-in-one cooler on the test bench today.

Nowadays it almost feels that wherever I look I see manufacturers doing their best to cover even the last person in the market with their products. Take AIO liquid CPU coolers for example. As I type these lines in the market there are numerous such models from a large number of manufacturers not only with different length (120/140/240/280/360mm) and thickness (25/27/30/32/38/43/45/49mm) radiators but also with different type of tubes (rubber/FEP) and various performance pumps (2400/2500/2600/2800/2900/3600/3800RPM).

PAYDAY 2: An Apology
The developers of Payday 2 have taken to the Steam forums to issue an apology for all the headaches and hassles caused by the addition of microtransactions to the game.

The past few weeks have been some of the most challenging in the history of this community. Players have been angry with us, media have written about us en masse and our volunteer moderators went on strike. For all the distress we've caused the past few weeks, I'd just like to take the time and say that we're sorry. We've done a lot of things right in the past, but these past few weeks we screwed up. We need to get better at many things, and we will do our best to improve as soon as possible.
