Another hour, another flaw
Another Internet Explorer flaw found at C|Net News details yet another way around the stuff that Microsoft insists has to be completely integrated into the OS. This latest is a flaw that isn’t fixed by the patch issued last week.
What’s remarkable is that people can read these things and believe it’s not happening to them. Or is it only the Mozilla (KHTML, Safari etc) users who find articles like this? Does everyone else cover their ears and say “La lalalalalala”? I’d really like to know.
I’m actually a touch concerned that Apple’s Dashboard system will, because it uses HTML+CSS+Javascript, and access all sorts of system information, very gradually open up similar weaknesses in OSX. I’d be interested to know how well Dave Hyatt’s team are securing that.
