Thats why you don’t use public computers when viewing private information.
One of my classes I have at a local Technology college instead of the highschool. At this college, the BIOS isn’t password protected and the user account that the teacher setup for me to use on the computer has administrative rights. I get the feeling these guys don’t know how to create a secure system. I could really cause a lot of damage or anyone else could.

Xbox 360 picks up Final Fantasy XI, will be backwards compatible - Xbox 360 News at GameSpot
This is good news. Although Microsoft said it will be compatible with top selling games, it could mean that Microsoft will be selecting which Xbox games will be compatible or they just don’t want to come right out and say it is compatible.
Final Fantasy is an awesome game and it will be awesome to see it on the Xbox 360.
Playstation 3 specs released
May 17th, 2005, 10:41 am
Sony released information on the Playstation 3 yesterday at Sony’s Pre-E3 conference. Many of the features are like the Xbox 360 with a few differences.
The Playstation 3 will have a PowerPC-base core running at 3.2GHz which is suppose to be two times more powerful that the Xbox 360’s three processors. It will have 256MB of RAM which is half of what the amount of the Xbox 360 contains (512MB).
Like the Xbox 360, the Playstation will have wirless controllers. You will be able to connect upto seven bluetooth wireless controllers. There will be built in wireless networking support which the Xbox 360 will have as well.
GamePro says that the demonstration of the Playstation 3 was noticeably better than the Xbox 360 mainly in the lighting and shadow areas.
Playstation 3’s controller is shaped like a boomerang and looks a lot like Microsofts Sidewinder controller for the PC. I’ve never heard of the sidewinder but I guess it failed.
The Xbox 360 has more features than just gaming which Sony didn’t mention a whole lot about that. Microsoft may have the upper hand here by appealing to a larger market.
You can find some pictures and more information on the Playstation 3 at GamePro (linked in this post) as well as at GameSpot.
