PCMag Live: IE Bug Means Trouble for XP Users

[ad_1]

PCMag Live for Monday, April 28 is hosted by Max Eddy and Dan Costa.

In our Headline News segment, Max and Dan dive into the Internet Explorer bug that will have XP users feeling even more dejected. The vulnerability exploits flaws in Internet Explorer 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11, or about 55 percent of the PC browser market. The fact that there’s no fix for XP leaves up to one in four exposed. Max puts it pretty simply: don’t use Explorer until Microsoft rolls out a fix.

Also in the news, Amazon has ended in-app purchasing on the iOS version of the ComiXology and made some changes to how users can buy comics on Android. Going forward, iOS users will have to buy comics on the ComiXology website rather than within the app, though purchases will sync up. On Android, meanwhile, customers can no longer use Google Wallet. The move is intended to help Amazon avoid paying a transaction fee to Apple and Google.

Lastly, an urban legend was confirmed this weekend when gaming fans – led by a documentary crew – unearthed stacks of 30-year-old Atari E.T. game cartridges from a New Mexico landfill. As the story goes, they were put there in 1983 after the game failed to catch on with consumers, but no one really knew if that was true – until now. Is this eBay gold?

Today’s Reader Question is from Paulo who asks via email “I saw on PCMag that Hulu has started blocking VPN access to their streaming service. What’s up with this?”

The One Cool Thing today is the Cyberpower Zeus Mini which goes for $1,825, as tested, an earned our Editors’ Choice Award. Check it out.
