I just upgraded to JRE 1.6 per the prompt, and now every new tab in IE gets me an “invalid certificate” error. After some searching, I found a bug report on it that was closed as a duplicate. Anyone else getting this? I’m using Vista Business SP1.

Check out the footage of Microsoft’s second iteration of the Surface computer: SecondLight. According to PC News, the SecondLight computer was the highlight of today’s keynote from Microsoft Research. It works by projecting two different images at speeds that the human eye can’t discern.
