Microsoft have released a temporary fix to overcome the vulnerability that is distributing Duqu.
It works by denying access to the Win32k TrueType font parsing engine. The fix doesn't appear to be on Windows update yet, you have to enable\disable it from here.

iPad2 Magnet unlock bug to be fixed in IOS v5.0.1
Looks like the "Magnet unlock" bug will be fixed with the upcoming IOS v5.0.1. It doesn't allow the screen to be unlocked whilst on the power screen.
For the moment, you either have to disable the unlock feature, or educate the users not to leave apps in the foreground.

Remote control for Chrome
Now, users of the Chrome browser can remote control any other computer running Chrome using this extension. Chromebooks don't support sharing yet but I've found the video response to be good and video scaling works well even if there is no support for sound.
Give it a go by downloading the extension for Chrome:

Unable to launch Citrix applications from Desktop
I had a problem launching short-cuts to applications delivered by Citrix to my Windows 7 desktop. Double-clicking an application showed a message saying that the program had been downloaded from the internet, and did I want to open it.
Problem was, it hadn't! It was a shortcut to the Citrix PNAgent to run a Citrix delivered application.
After trying a few things such as a group policy edit to classify .lnk files as moderately safe (didn't work), or changing IE9 to allow executables to run from the Internet Zone rather than prompting (worked but generated Internet Explorer security warnings) I hit on a similar issue.
I ran the following command to remove the warning:
icacls "C:\Users\Username\Desktop" /Setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)M

Chromebook screen corruption
I'm running the latest dev build on my Chromebook (14.0.835.98) and seem to have an occasional screen corruption issue.
I have reported it as a bug, but due to a known issue with this build, I was unable to attach a screenshot.

Google Plus for Google Apps in the coming months - wellsb.com
It's getting a little annoying not being able to use Google+.
According to this post (made at the end of June), it should be available in the next few months.
That should hopefully be by the end of August then?

Chromebook
I'm really interested in buying one of these to replace my Macbook Air, which I currently use to email and browse the web at home. I don't take my Macbook mobile because of it's dreadful heat issues, so I use an iPad for that. I think the Chromebook could replace both of these quite happily.
Problem is, I want to see one in the flesh before I commit to buy.
Amazon and PC World have them for mail order, but I just need to see one first!
