IE Flaw Utilizes Google Desktop Search

Posted by Zonk on from the i-knew-that-would-come-back-to-haunt-me dept.

abscondment writes "An error in the way Internet Explorer parses CSS files has been discovered by Matan Gillon of Israel. The flaw can be exploited by any website, and used to access personal information via Google's Desktop Search program. Of course, Google contends that this is a flaw with IE, and not their search software."

    Off-topic question, but has anyone had some random bugs after upgrading to Firefox 1.5? Like, the Bank of America website doesn't work properly anymore. Same with a couple other companies' sites.

    Is calling somebody a "jew" supposed to be an insult or something in your book? If ones calls a human a "human", or an american an "american", isn't this just simply stating the obvious? Calling a person who isn't a jew, a "jew", simply because they find anti-semitic comments offensive, would be an ignorant and silly thing to do. "Human", "american", "chinese" and "jew", neither of these are insults.
