Yes! Does anyone remember BlackICE?


Ahh BlackICE, Kerio Personal Firewall and ZoneAlarm Pro. Those were the days!

Plus the rise of the anti-spyware applications such as GIANT AntiSpyware which Microsoft bought and is now known as Windows Defender (although I don't much if any of the GIANT code is still around).

Sure was a fun time in the late 90s and early 00s for client side security software.

When Microsoft introduced the Windows Firewall with XP SP2 a lot of things sort of died out and then we had a rise in things like CCleaner for system "cleaning". While things like CCleaner started out with a few useful features they long ago turned into crap and should be avoided.

One of the things I do enjoy about Little Snitch is it gives me that early 2000s nostaltia every now and then when I new pop-up reminds of me ZoneAlarm :)


Losing the Signal is a really well written book about RIM/Blackberry. A cautionary tale about losing focus.

The BBC is a great organisation, but on the topic of milk on a hot day, I’m trusting the Channel 4 News team.


Couldn’t agree more about the Touch bar, it makes my MacBook worse.


Haha, I hadn’t thought of that. Yes, we are :)


Thanks, will give it a try.


I think Vivaldi is a new company started by the ex-Opera CEO.
