Last program description:

In Texas you have to be a licensed Private Detective to repair computers. And any consumer using anyone other than a licensed PI to fix his or her computer can be thrown in jail. Firefox users more secure on the Internet. Microsoft beginning to rent software starting in mid-July. Rhapsody going to put a dent in iTunes. Mac OS-X surges 32-percent. Microsoft officially retires XP. Say it’s not so: Micro-hoo back in play? Feds looking into Google-Yahoo deal. HP rolling out a $599 hotrod computer. Meanwhile, Dell buying back stock for personal account. Netgear doing an Open Source Router.
