Se apropie iunie .. oare iese iPhone?
Eh, de abea incepusera sa se linisteasca apele. Doar ca a durat atat de mult sa se calmeze multimea de fan-boys, entuziasti si critici incat s-a apropiat lansarea.

Updating WordPress
I guess everyone knows by now about what happened with WordPress release 2.1.1. It seems that a hacker managed to get an account on one of the download servers and tampered with some of the releases. He added some exploitable code that allows remote control of the blog (e.g. this usually means the possibility to…
