* Netvibes, the personalized homepage site, [has released a new version][1] -- nicknamed the "Coriander Edition" -- featuring a new RSS reader with multimedia capabilities, improved sharing features, and a beta preview of a mobile edition.

* ILounge notes something I missed when upgrading software the other day, [Apple has updated QuickTime][2], adding an "Export to Apple TV" command. The new export options is capable of creating HD videos viewable via an Apple TV with resolution support up to 1280 by 720 videos

* The New York Times [reports][3] that researchers at Microsoft have discovered that splogs and other web pages menaces are generated "by a small group of shadowy operators apparently with the acquiescence of some major advertisers, Web page hosts and advertising syndicators." The Times (in hyperbole mode) goes on to claim that "the finding is striking because it hints at the possibility of curbing the practice." Yeah just like all those Microsoft strategies to stop Windows piracy have worked so well. The Microsoft report can be [seen here][4] (PDF).
