I would expect this “ClickOnce” support would make accidental installation of malware more likely. No, thanks. I disabled it until I absolutely see a reason that I [...]

Facebook has been suicidal lately. While one could argue that its redesigns have been for the better, the design churn has aggravated users who find it difficult to find [...]
