Short Comment- The Japanese KFC Tradition- Colonel "Samurai" Sanders Returns!

Well, it's that time of the year again. The Colonel Sanders statues in Japan are going into their traditional Japanese Samurai outfits made of cheap cardboard!! [ Appetizer ]

But to my surprise, I didn't know that there was more than one version of the outfit. Check the literally "Electrifying" Samurai costume at [ Gokiburi Online ] . And man, despite the costume looking even cheesier, he's still wearing the Santa outfit underneath it. You'd seriously want to stay away from the Colonel, even if you weren't chicken!

Short Comment- Warning to Winamp Users: MP3 Virus Bug

Winamp 2.79 users beware- there's a bug in the software which may be prone to executing viruses. Check the following report by Cnet.com.

(Cnet.com, quoted)
"Nullsoft, a division of AOL Time Warner that makes Winamp, has confirmed the vulnerability in an older release of the software. The glitch does not affect the newest version, 2.80, which was released last week. In the older version, the problem can be fixed by disabling Winamp's mini-browser.

...A bug in the code of Winamp 2.79 allows a specially formed data tag in an MP3 file to cause a buffer overrun in the application, which could be exploited to run any piece of code the attacker wishes. The glitch was posted to the Bugtraq security mailing list Friday by Andreas Sandblad, a Swedish engineering student."
