Today I received an email alert for a security flaw in Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express, the actual update has the number KB910721, email is a very credible-looking including the text of the link seems to point to the Windows Update site. The only drawback is that after the link points to a site that is not related to Microsoft, although the structure of the URL is very similar to Microsoft. The fact that the email does not come addressed to me also made me suspect.
Although it is not my usual warning of this kind of things, Email this surprised me the similarities it has with the emails that you receive from Microsoft.
Microsoft never sends updates or links to that lead directly to files for download, we always have to go through those pages of boring site with description of the download, few exceptions in which the same is said when the user requests the download site.

I have already had spoken of Windows Live SkyDrive Microsoft, yesterday I received an invitation to access a "Technical Preview" of new features. The new features are very briefly a version of Office online (no browser).
For now only available Excel and Power Point, judging by the available shortcuts will also be available as Word and One Note.
I have used the 25 gigas Skydrive mainly for some backups and sharing files, had never looked at the Skydrive as a collaboration tool, I believe I'll have to revise my opinion. Although the first look into the spreadsheet from Microsoft I have seemed more limited than that of Google Docs, we are comparing a product that is not beta, with another mature product.
Only recommend Microsoft to organize a bit, because although many services available online, these are scattered, I believe that this case would look a good bit for example to Google, where easily access any service without having to search Google or Bing(!!!) the name of the service. For example would be an idea to take advantage for example Skydrive and create integration with Hotmail and other Microsoft services in order to have a really good collaborative tool and easy to use, because being good is not everything.

After the controversy generated when Microsoft installed some "extras" in Firefox without consent or notice, is the message I encountered today while using said browser from Mozilla, I believe this is the opinion of Mozilla that Microsoft has:
A message to the way "is ai, now you'll see who's boss!!!”
I look forward to Microsoft's answer to "Chrome Frame Google!

Since I heard the MEO who was curious about the technology that lies behind, Today I noticed a sticker pasted behind a BOX, had written “Microsoft IPTV”, goggles by these terms and is not that after the box is inside Microsoft.
The software is called “Microsoft Mediaroom” appears in the MEO client list, and other providers of IPTV foreign!
Just could not get any trial to move and can see how this is inside, but at least the site you can see the features that are currently implemented in the service of MEO, and that the system supports that may be implemented in the same.
From what I saw access to development resources are restricted to employees of providers of IPTV, perhaps not to expose the flaws to the world and to keep the parameters of access to top secret.
This can even banal but I did not know!!!

One of the features of Microsoft Excel is to block the publishing and access to formulas contained in a cell or a set of cells. I searched the internet for a way to change the so-called leaf protected, there are many alternatives but all paid.
I remembered to open the document with OpenOffice, and when I tried to access the protected cells received an error message "Can not change protected cells."
And to my surprise when I sent unprotect the document OpenOffice did not ask me any password nor gave a message and the document was left unprotected, leaving all the unlocked cells, with the formulas set.
Just go to "Tools" --> “Proteger Documento” –> and get the stamp of "Leaf ..." and just to break the security of Microsoft Excel file I tested was the version of Office 2003.
