I was wondering why I don't get update-notifier icon any more, and understand now that this is a new feature, replaced by something akin to those pop-unders in the browser (which by the way, I so far have not ever seen in my several jaunty test installations!).
Recently I gave my step-father a laptop with the ubuntu hardy remix on it; his first ever computer use at the age of 80 (!) and we are both quite pleased. I managed to make him understand to never give his password to a program unless he has called it up, for a purpose that he understaood. Now I need to tell him that this is true in general, but sometimes it ain't?
