The big news with Flickr was quite literally about size—users of the photo-sharing service will now get
one terabyte of storage for free. (And how many photos is that ??? ) :)
Flickr’s website also got an overhaul, and there’s a new version of its Android app as well.

Microsoft Announces Their Next Console: Xbox One
http://blog.donovanglover.com/2013/05/xbox-one/

My thoughts regarding the new Xbox One and how it could be successful. What are your opinions regarding the subject? Do you think the PlayStation 4 will become the new standard?

For the super security conscious person. (Judging by the score, I'm probably not one of them.)

Well I was hosting some malicious samples on /t/crt.war.zip. I've removed it though. Like I said, the site itself isn't malicious.

My question still remains. What are your thoughts regarding the new Xbox One?

KillEmAll - stop all the currently running processes and programs with a single click.

Another essential tool to add to your toolbox. Get it now before you actually need it.
Quote
KillEmAll displays a list of all visible processes on the left. You can select the required item and perform further actions from there. For instance, you can relaunch a process by selecting it from the list followed by clicking ‘Run’. Similarly, you can move a trusted process to the Whitelist so that it doesn’t get terminated the next time you run the app. Other available options let you open the file path of the selected process, Google its path or name, verify its signature, create IFEO, rename the item manually or with dummy text, or just remove it from the list.
Lastly, KillEmAll also enables you to directly upload a process to Virus Total – an online virus scanning service that analyzes suspicious files through a series of scans using a wide array of popular antivirus engines.


This one froze my system. Anyone else having that problem or, is it working for you ???

Well if it freezes the system you could say it has stopped all running processes as advertised. :)

Just purchased a "3 PC, Lifetime License" for Outpost Professional Firewall for $39 Bucks US.
I know many Evangs already have lifetime licenses for this proven, professional class FW
 Really an excellent deal/Value for the money. ;)
