Briefly: Front Row Enabler surfaces

In Brief: One developer's Front Row Enabler software (along with instructions), which allows any Mac to use Apple's Front Row multimedia software, has reposted the software after questioning the validity of the 'Cease and Desist' from Apple's legal team.... Several users are claiming to have found the source of some of MacBook Pro heat problems, attributing them to the misapplication of the thermal grease inside the laptop (using the MacBook Pro Service Manual as a guide)... One user has posted a brief tutorial on using a Mac mini with an external analog tuner and BeyondTV4 with Boot Camp/WinXP to create an economical Mac PVR, saying its cheaper (but more complicated) than the prepackaged solutions.... The list of serious unpatched vulnerabilities in Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser keeps getting longer and longer, as Microsoft has acknowledged yet another flaw affecting fully patched Windows systems--less than a week after researcher Michal Zalewski went public with a new zero-day vulnerability that could be used in code execution attacks.... Apple's rival Creative is expected to post a quarterly loss of nearly $90 million for its March quarter due to cut-throat competition and falling flash prices.
