Microsoft is letting more people use its Live Mesh service just days after Apple launched its similar, but broader, MobileMe service.

Live Mesh, which was first introduced on an invitation-only basis in April, lets people share and synch files and programs among various computers. Users can place documents into the "mesh," which is essentially an online storage locker, and then access them from another computer over the Web. In the future, Microsoft expects to add features that will let people use mobile phones and computers running Apple's Mac OS to access the content.

This week, Microsoft said it has doubled the number of people who can use the service and that anyone in the U.S. who has a Live ID can try it out. It didn't say how many people have been using Live Mesh or how many it will now support through the expanded invitation.

Some of the most oft-repeated comments attributed to Bill Gates through the years were not uttered by Bill Gates. Take for instance "640K ought to be enough for anybody," which he supposedly said in 1981 to note that the 640K bytes of memory in IBM's PC was a significant breakthrough. Or his alleged comment that if General Motors "had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving [US]$25 cars that got 1,000 miles per gallon."

Advanced Micro Devices is rounding out its quad-core Opteron portfolio with new chips designed for high-end four-socket and eight-socket servers.

The chip maker will start shipping two more processors in its 2300 series and an additional two for the 8300 series June 9. Since January, AMD has been looking to make up the ground it lost in 2007 when the first batch of quad-core Opterons were found to have a design flaw in the silicon.

Since then, the AMD quad-core Opteron, or "Barcelona," processor has been picked up by all four tier one OEMs and a number of small server vendors. The company has also started shipping Opterons for lower-end one-socket systems.

The new processors include the Opteron 2358 SE (2.4GHz) and the Opteron 2360 SE (2.5GHz), along with the Opteron 8358 SE (2.4GHz) and the 8360 SE (2.5GHz). Each of the chips will contain the same 512KB of Level 2 cache per core as all the other Opteron processors, and all four cores will share 2MB of L3 cache.

I'm going to start rolling out reviews on a regular or semi-regular basis. It has been quite a while so I'm a little rusty with the whole thing but the very first review is now up. To start things off slow I did a quick review of 'Taskbar Shuffle' which was added last night to the site. So, check it out. I hope you enjoy reading through it.

"Microsoft is warning that a previously disclosed flaw in Apple's Safari browser could have dire consequences for Windows users.

The Safari bug, originally disclosed on May 15 by security researcher Nitesh Dhanjani, allows attackers to litter a victim's desktop with executable files, an attack known as "carpet bombing."

It turns out that if this flaw is exploited in combination with a second unpatched bug in Internet Explorer, attackers can run unauthorized software on a victim's computer, according to Aviv Raff, a security researcher. Raff says he originally reported the IE flaw to Microsoft more than a year ago, and then told them about how it could be combined with the carpet bombing bug just over a week ago.

IDG News Service tested Raff's demonstration attack code, which runs Windows Calculator on a victim's system. For the attack to work, a victim must first visit a maliciously crafted Web page with the Safari browser, which in turn will trigger the carpet bombing attack and exploit the IE flaw."
