Make Your Own Font

This seems like a lot or detail work to do on the web, but maybe I’m just lazy. Make your own font (as in draw it), and then download it as a True Type font to use. Cool idea; little iffy on the execution.

Spyware buys legitimacy (or, AdAware sells out its users)

Broadband Report users are fuming (rightfully so) over Lavasoft’s new comfort level with the WhenU program, an adware app that suddenly wasn’t being detected by AdAware.
