Does Google Think Windows 7 Beta is Malware?
Posted by Wanderlust in Humor, Images, Search Engines, Software Saturday, 31 January 2009 18:52 No Comments
I’m about to rebuild my secondary box (see previous post) and was thinking of finally using my Vista Ultimate x64 disc (that I still really am hesitant to install on my main PC) but with the Windows 7 beta available and how I use the system I thought that I’d just download the beta and install it. When the time comes, I’ll either go to Vista x64 or pick up Windows 7 x64.
Anyway, I went out to get my key today, did a quick search on Google and got the following results:
Note the interesting “This site may harm your computer.” below the Download the Windows 7 Beta header. I clicked on the link and it gave me the malware screen warning me about proceeding and I had to copy and paste the URL into the address bar. I checked before posting but it appears they’ve “fixed” it already but thought it was interesting enough to post. I didn’t take a lot of time to learn how sites get this designation but I’d assume that it’s possibly some Microsoft haters reporting the site or Google…er um… having fun?

OK, not really but this was a great prank and fits quite well with the past month of Zombie items on BREWTALITY.NET

Hackers Crack Into Texas Road Sign, Warn of Zombies Ahead
Thursday, January 29, 2009
By Joshua Rhett MillerTexas Dept. of Transportation officials confirm a portable traffic sign at Lamar Boulevard and West 15th Street in Austin was hacked into last week.Transportation officials in Texas are scrambling to prevent hackers from changing messages on digital road signs after one sign in Austin was altered to read, “Zombies Ahead.”
Chris Lippincott, director of media relations for the Texas Department of Transportation, confirmed that a portable traffic sign at Lamar Boulevard and West 15th Street, near the University of Texas at Austin, was hacked into during the early hours of Jan. 19.
“It was clever, kind of cute, but not what it was intended for,” said Lippincott, who saw the sign during his morning commute. “Those signs are deployed for a reason — to improve traffic conditions, let folks know there’s a road closure.”
“It’s sort of amusing, but not at all helpful,” he told FOXNews.com.
Larry The Khaki Guy

This is when Larry was Dan Whitney… Lots of negative stuff but come on, comedy is about over exaggerating and all of the entertainment business is full of people recreating themselves. Larry gets on my nerves after a while but damn he did an upgrade on his act and has made millions at it and I have to give him credit for it.
There’s a ton of bands that have changed to meet mass appeal like Journey & REO Speedwagon (both jazz type bands before), Pantera & Alice in Chains (both hair metal first), Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) and his 80′s new wave (dare I say garbage) and I like most of these bands updated sound…who cares what they did at one time or another. Sites like to hammer at the hair metal but I love Alice in Chains and could care less what they did before Facelift.
