  1. Windows Update is to blame for this massive Skype outage. Many users rebooted PCs after installing Windows patches which caused a flood of login requests, prompting a chain reaction that had a critical impact.
  2. Handbrake 0.9.0 is out. This is a major release and includes many changes such as new Mac and Windows interfaces as well as improved picture quality and speed.
  3. A great comparison of WordPress 2.2 and MovableType 4 was done by Mashable. Not surprisingly, WordPress is still rated better than MovableType.
