Cisco & Microsoft Patch TCP Stack DoS Exploit

A fairly serious flaw that was announced in October 2008 by Outpost24 (and apparently discovered way back in 2005), has finally been patched by the major players Cisco and Microsoft .

Microsoft Zune HD: Can it defeat Apple IPod touch ??

So if you want a classic Zune device, buy it now, as they’ll only be around while supplies last. I know I am a bit biased, but I am not at all sure this is a great idea for Microsoft. H
