When it comes to PayPal, my security bells start ringing.

This morning I received a PayPal email, a rare thing, advising changes to their Australian email address.
Careful habits kicked in and I used PayPal Australia’s own form to ask for verification of these changes and the email.

Their prompt reply just arrived…

Dear #### #####,

Thank you for contacting PayPal, my name is ###### and I am happy to
assist you today.

I understand in your email that you are inquiring if the email that you
receive is genuine or just a spoof one. We do appologise for the
confusion this has caused you.

Mr. #####, I can confirm that this email is a genuine email from PayPal.
We actually changed from ######@####.####.com.au to
######@####.####.com.au because our previous emails were like being
duplicated by any fraudsters to just confuse our customers. But I assure
you that this one is a legit email from us.

It is my pleasure assisting you today.

Sincerely,
######
PayPal, an eBay Company

PayPal Australia Pty Limited.

It hardly lifted my confidence in the financial services like being offered by legit PayPal Australia.

Smart campaign directed at the last bastions of IE6, sluggish IT departments.

HEY-IT - We want to get rid of IE6! Please upgrade to a recent/decent browser!

Google's Chromium for Mac browser is developing in leaps and bounds.

The latest nightly build is a far more polished beast than the one Google pleaded with us not to use under any circumstances.

It's ironic that you can't view YouTube, let alone any Flash, though plugins can't be far off.

I'm surprised at how well it handles the Admin section of b2evolution, with the exception of the TinyMCE WYSIWYG option.

Here goes, first post using Google Chromium.
