I've been using Google Reader for a couple months now after originally using Firefox Live Bookmarks. Reader is nice when you have tons of feeds (I subscribe to ~150), and starring posts is a really nice feature. Check out http://lifehacker.com/software/google-reader/ha... for some tips on getting the most out of Reader. Also read the "Tips and Tricks" and Google Blog for more goodies. :)

Re: iDefense Underbids on Vista Vulnerabilities

I see it as guaranteed cash flow, versus selling an exploit online to who knows who. Trend Micro may have seen exploits going for $50k, but it wasn't confirmed and nobody knows if that's what the exploit actually went for.

I'll compare selling exploits on IRC/iDefense, to winning the lottery. You have two choices:
1) a guaranteed lump sum (with a paycut) or
2) paid over an undetermined time period in X installments.
Who knows what will happen in the future, and I don't exactly trust `v1ru$buy3r` on IRC to pay me.

Also, in my opinion, exploits decrease in value the longer they are 'known.' This gives the vendors time (through luck) or other methods to identify and patch that vulnerability.
