Firefox 3.0.6 update a result of security issues




If you are a Mozilla Firefox user who has not updated your browser for some time already, this might be a good time to do so. Earlier, Mozilla released an update to Firefox that its developers said addresses several security and stability issues encountered in the Web browser.

This version 3.06 of the update fixes six bugs, the worst of which is a JavaScript issue affecting the browser's layout engine that developers labeled as critical. The vulnerability, which also affects Mozilla's Thunderbird e-mail client and SeaMonkey Internet Suite, could be exploited by an attacker to run unauthorized codes on compromised machines.

The update also improves how scripted commands, like those that came with Adblock Plus and other add-ons, work with plug-ins. Display issues previously experienced by users were also addressed in this update.

Macbook Wheel - How many of you were tricked?



When the video of the Macbook Wheel appeared, some of my peers were tricked to think that it really existed. I'd have to commend the effort put towards creating this news though. From comments seen in a couple of other sites, there were typical Apple fanboys who admitted to searching for the Wheel on Amazon before realising it is all fake.

Were you tricked as well?
