This is one of the reasons that i use firefox, they fix the problems right a way. Not many browsers fixes bugs and other security issues this fast.

Re:news?

I like how all the other replies get hung up on the throwaway "why is this news" comment, but none draws attention to the brilliant product release schedule suggestion. Why not do something like this? Hm?

I've been browsing Slashdot without the slashboxes for years now, but I'd turn them all back on just to get one that did what you're describing here. Heck, you could even set up different ones for different sections, so the main page would get the cross-platform and most-popular items (Firefox, Linux kernel, OSX release, etc) and the sections would get ones that were appropriate to them (e.g. the Apple one could have versions of Safari, Firefox, Camino, iTunes, OSX, etc; a Windows one (say, why is there no Windows section?) could have recent hotfixes, service packs, etc.

As a bonus, the "last update" item could link to the article about the most recent release, while the "product" link can link to a search for all the release articles for that product. And with everything bundled up there, the release articles could be moved off the front page and we'd get less of this whining about new releases not being newsworthy events.

I don't suppose there's any chance that this could be implemented, could it?
