It has been circulating the web recently about a flaw in Windows 7 security (see http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/00001675.html)
The fact you can name a file virus.txt.exe and only see the virus.txt and the application can change the icon to match this is not a flaw.
In most cases it will not let you execute the program if it has come from an unsafe location, eg removable media, the Internet, as you will get a lovely pop-up warning you that its a possible unsafe file, and asks if your sure you want to execute it. So for this flaw to be taken advantage of, the file has to be put on the computer, and marked as safe or trusted.
So is it a flaw? No
Do people take more notice of the icon than the extension? Yes
Is this just nit picking because Microsoft’s OS is finally (most probably, no major exploit has been found in Windows 7, and Vista only had the Conflicker one which was a known issue) as secure as OS X or Linux? Yes, I think so.
Eventually the government will let the housing market correct and Americans will be able to afford a home in this new paradigm.As supply meets demand, the price of housing and rents will fall to meet new incomes.Although we are okay from the housing perspective, we won't be able to afford goods we import, such as oil.England had this problem in the 1800s with respect to the tea trade, and their solution was the conquest of Hong Kong.
