Yahoo shareholders have rejected a plan to adopt a policy, and setting up a human rights committee that would review it’s policies around the world, were defeated. Yahoo has been criticized by human rights groups over turning over e-mails that didn’t agree with China’s policies and laws.

However, Yahoo insists that it had to operate under local laws of where they operate.
After a few hours of it’s release on Windows; vulnerabilities have been found in the code, with denial-of-service attacks and two issues that would allow an remote execution of a script. I’m not that surprised, since it’s a beta; but it comes from Apple…

Yes, ScoreScripts (Owned by Stewart, part of the reawakennetworks) and Brandon have taken up doing the Kubix Script after the original developer has decided to drop it. So, if you love to help them, just join them at their site. I, however, won’t be helping because I’m currently tied up doing the relaunch of the pointzero site, a community based site where you (Yes You!) put the content up!; and the new reawaken site. Plus, I have no idea about PHP; I know a bit of CSS though…
As well, you can see a live demo. We will keep you updated about Kubix here when we get information about it from them, the developers.

Yes, it’s true. Apple has announced that Safari will be on Windows, and it’s really up there on the Apple Site. Too bad it’s only a beta; so expect crashes, memory hogs, and the dreaded Blue Screen of Death!!!!
Otherwise, you Apple geeks just have one more thing to push your way into the world of Windows. By the way, doesn’t Safari look ugly?

The Washington Post has a news piece saying that Google’s Priracy practises are the worst among the world.
