8 years late: Microsoft finally pushes users to upgrade from IE6

+1. Literally LOL'd at work.

Pirates shed tears of illegal grief as Mininova goes legit and deletes infringing torrents

Nov 26th 2009 11:11AM on Download Squad

Farewell Mininova. You will be missed.

What's the point of legitimate torrent sites? The place for legit torrents is on a site mixed in with plenty of "questionable" torrents.

Automatically disable your touchpad while you type with TouchFreeze

Nov 25th 2009 4:13PM on Download Squad

Nice find, Lee. I'm definitely going to install this on my Dell 1520. I'm running 7 x64. The Vista x86 driver had the option to disable the touchpad (I think) but it definitely disabled it when the external mouse was plugged in. The x64 Win 7 driver doesn't have either of these features (that I can tell), so this is the next best thing. Cheers!

"Piracy will continue as normal, don't worry."

Ok, good.

Office 2010 Beta 2 download leaks to torrent trackers

Nov 13th 2009 10:44AM on Download Squad

It's leaked only 1 week before the official release? What took so long?

Facebook Chat gets XMPP, catches up with AIM, Google Talk and MSN

Awesome. I just had to hack Empathy the other day to support FB chat. It'll be nice having native support.

VHD Attach enables right-click mounting and dismounting of VHD files in Windows 7

Nov 6th 2009 7:25AM on Download Squad

Yes, that's right. Currently I have Win 7 as my main OS and a 2008 R2 VHD at the root of my C: drive. I boot into the VHD when I want to do some testing. If I ever want to remove the OS from my system all I need to do is delete the file (and remove the boot entry).

Verizon looking to bump early termination fee to $350 on 'advanced' devices

Nov 4th 2009 9:37AM on Engadget

If Sprint did make an ad like you are suggesting, it would need to go along the lines of this:

Sprint: Lowest Prices, Lowest Termination Fee, Lowest Coverage Area, Lowest Customer Service, Lowest Customer Satisfaction; Guaranteed!

VHD Attach enables right-click mounting and dismounting of VHD files in Windows 7

First off, there's no boot.ini anymore. Now it's all about this fancy BCD business. Secondly, I'm pretty sure you can't boot Vista or 2008 in a VHD (tried, and tried, and tried...). You can only boot a VHD-aware OS (currently only 7 or 2008 R2).

Not trying to be a dick, just want to straighten the facts.

Malwarebytes definition database stolen, misused by IOBit

MBAM is recommended, right?

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
