Microsoft Get Ready for Patch Tuesday. 6 Bulletins

Paul

According to Arstechnica there will be 6 Bulletins and each of them are very interesting:

  • Bulletin 1: Critical (Remote Code Execution), Windows

  • Bulletin 2: Critical (Remote Code Execution), Windows

  • Bulletin 3: Critical (Remote Code Execution), Windows

  • Bulletin 4: Important (Elevation of Privilege), Virtual PC, Virtual Server

  • Bulletin 5: Important (Elevation of Privilege), ISA Server

  • Bulletin 6: Important (Remote Code Execution), Office

[ad]It looks like there will be another Directx Patch for those who have Directx 7 through 9.0c.  It also seems they will be Patching the Virtual PC and Server and ISA Server.    Microsoft will also be patching 2007 Microsoft Office System Service Pack 1.  They will also Be Releasing 14 different patches for non Critical status.

The Directx Flaw that was reported in May is reportedly being patched and that is why we have these Directx updates that are comming down from Microsoft.

So Now is the time to get [intlink id=”2883″ type=”post”]Autopatcher[/intlink] updated to the lastest updates and schedule a time next week for you to test and install these updates.   I would recommend updating your [intlink id=”2205″ type=”page”]anti-virus and Firewall[/intlink] software if you have any, if not it is time to get them and install them.

Rumor: GE to be the next to layoff its workers!!

Paul

GE to Layoff 11,000 Workers!! GE to Layoff it workers!

According to sources of friends close to me, their seems to be a consensus that there will be a major layoff coming from GE. My source is talking about it being a lot of people will be laid off and that it will start happening in the coming weeks.

According to Yahoo Finance saying this “52 week change of GE is -50.86% from last year. ”

[ad#ad2-right-1]Now last year this time there Stock Price was 38.38 a Share and now they are 18.60 a share.  They dropped -19.78 over the year.   The seemed to get close to the 38.38 a share on April 4, 2008 with making  37.56 a share.  That was there highest this year, due to the fact that people were getting there income tax refunds in the mail.    Also NYSE says they had a slight increase in July and Aug, that is due to the Stimulus package that we got in 2008.

Now I’m not a financial expert in the least.  I just see what I see with stock prices.  These could mean they are doing extremely well, or they could indicate that the company is planning on laying people off.  I’m just trying to provide a background on why they might lay people off.  We are getting to he point of becoming a Depression and no longer a Recession.  What do you think?
