10:30AM Angus Kidman | People who aren’t using recently updated Internet Explorer often feel a certain sense of smugness about the relative vulnerability level of their browser. The annual Pwn2own competition demonstrates the foolishness of anyone feeling smug. Our sister site Gizmodo reports that Safari was hacked within ten seconds of the competition starting, with Firefox and IE following some hours later. So no matter what your browser (or your platform), sensible security measures from strong password to security software need to remain a focus for everybody.

Snow Leopard May Drop June 8, Include New Finder and QuickTime
12:10AM Kevin Purdy | Based on leaked release notes, Apple-watching blog 9 to 5 Mac see the next OS X as arriving June 8, with some modest UI upgrades, a big push on 64-bit, and presented by Steve Jobs himself. That date is based in part on speculation about why Apple would book a six-day block at a convention centre and dub it only a “Corporate Meeting,” but the release notes seem pretty solid, or at least crazily detailed for a forgery. The most recent build notes indicate a new QuickTime Player with a minimal interface, Safari 4 beta included as the default browser, and a “new Cocoa Desktop, Info Window and Contextual Menu” for Finder. Is this a nice set of improvements for a solid OS, or do you see Apple concentrating their efforts elsewhere? Tell us your take in the comments. Snow Leopard goes 64-Bit, to be released on June 8th with Stevo? [9 to 5 Mac] More »
