The morning coffee and the black screen of death
The wise consumer is never an early adopter of Microsoft operating systems — for whatever reason, Microsoft seems unable to get them right in the initial release. While security patches are an inevitability for any popular Operating System or browser, Microsoft always seems to face other issues.

Here at the morning coffee, we enjoy reading Science Based Medicine, but seldom link to it. For the most part, this is because it’s all the same: vaccines don’t cause autism. Homeopathy, acupuncture and other alternative “treatments” do not work, and are potentially harmful as they pull patients away from medicine that could treat their conditions. While it makes for informative and interesting reading, variety is the spice of the morning coffee. Today they write about a traditional Indian remedy that works. So go clean out your nose with salt water. It’s good for you, in moderation.
