RENO 911!: The Complete Sixth Season DVD Set was released on Tuesday July 7th, preempting the Season 6 Finale that was due on Wednesday July 8th. The two-disc set contains total of 15 episodes from the “shocking” season premiere episode to the season finale episode.

RENO 911!: The Complete Sixth Season

Season 6 starts with no mentions of the presumably killed Deputies. Fans are crying foul over the absence of Deputy Johnson, Deputy Kimball and especially Deputy Garcia (played by Wendi McLendon-Covey, Mary Birdsong and Carlos Alazraqui respectively). Enter Seargant Jack Declan and Deputy Frank Rizzo (played by Ian Roberts and Joe Lo Truglio respectively).

Fans of the show are divided in two, those who still like the show and those who now hate Season 6.

I am planning to buy the DVD set for two particular episodes. The first one with George Lopez and Jill-Michele Meleán. The second one with the tribute for Garcia involving some explosives and a canon.

There is no official word yet about the Seventh Season.

Disclaimer 1:

I have done a few projects with Carlos Alazraqui and plan to continue doing so. In addition to that I am also working with Jill-Michele Meleán who plays Maria Garcia (James Garcia’s Sister) and Gloria (Mayor Hernandez’s girlfriend in Season 6 Episode 8).

If you bought anything through Amazon link above, and I get some kickbacks.

Microsoft warns of serious computer security hole.

Tuesday July 7th, 2009.

It is the first Tuesday of the month, so there will be no regular updates from Microsoft today. Instead on Monday Microsoft released a warning regarding a serious security hole that affects Internet Explorer on Windows XP and Server 2003.

From the article:

It can allow hackers to remotely take control of victims’ machines. The victims don’t need to do anything to get infected except visit a Web site that’s been hacked.

Security experts say criminals have been attacking the vulnerability for nearly a week. Thousands of sites have been hacked to serve up malicious software that exploits the vulnerability. People are drawn to these sites by clicking a link in spam e-mail.

The so-called “zero day” vulnerability disclosed by Microsoft affects a part of its software used to play video. The problem arises from the way the software interacts with Internet Explorer, which opens a hole for hackers to tunnel into.

According to reports, currently there is no fix available from Microsoft, but there is a workaround.

Interestingly Microsoft might use this announcement to convince people to upgrade to Windows Vista or Windows 7.

iPhone OS 3.1 beta: Safari Scores 100 in Acid3 Test, Somewhat.

iPhone OS 3.0 Safari scored 97 out of 100 in Acid3 Test. The newly seeded iPhone OS 3.1 beta (build 7c97d) includes a tweaked version of Safari that scores 100 out of 100 in Acid3 Test. Even though Safari scored 100, it still did not render the page identically to the reference page. Note the white X in the pink box on the top right corner of the test box.
