Review: Viruses Revealed
This book should be a must read for anyone thinking about malware and anti-malware (including – or especially – all the people in the media!). It is a hype-free, no-nonsense book, which doesn’t shy away from writing the truth. I found out about this book from the (ISC)2 blog, where Robert Slade (one of the…

Tried to review RocketPost…
A reader of mine asked about my opinions about RocketPost, so I thought I’ll give it a try. Their interface seemed alright and there were some interesting features showcased in the tour.

Their episodes are high quality, and even…

Weather Brains
Weather Brains is an excellent podcast if you are even remotely interested in weather. Released weekly, it is a hour or so of fun and information. There are multiple hosts (always a plus, it is very hard for a single host to keep an interesting tone) and a professional voice quality (which is not a…

Lightning openSUSE review
Recently I had the opportunity to install Linux on a laptop, and I thought that I should widen my experiences, so I choose openSUSE 11.0. Unfortunately I wasn’t very successful, so most probably I will end up going with an other OS (I’m still undecided between Fedora 10, or maybe I should just lick my…
