Safari 3.1 For Windows Violates Its Own EULA, Vulnerable To Hacks
recoiledsnake writes "The new Safari 3.1 for Windows has been hit with two 'highly critical'(as rated by Secunia) vulnerabilities that can result in execution of arbitrary code. The first is due to an improper handling of the buffer for long filenames of files being downloaded, and the second can result in successful spoofing of websites and phishing. This comes close on the heels of criticism of Apple for offering Safari as a update for approximately 500 million users of iTunes on Windows by default, and reports of crashes. There are currently no patches or workarounds available except the advice to stay clear of 'untrusted' sites." Further, Wormfan writes "The latest version of Safari for Windows makes a mockery of end user licensing agreements by only allowing the installation of Safari for Windows on Apple labeled hardware, thereby excluding most Windows PCs." Update: 03/27 17:23 GMT by Z : Dave Schroeder writes with the note that the license has been updated to correct this mistake.
FP!!!
Windows 3.1 also had issues with long filenames. Maybe there is a curse on that version number -- we should skip 3.1 and go directly to version 95.
...except on my PC it has called itself 'Firefox'.
:P
In all seriousness, excepting the spiffy Apple skinning, this is Firefox's illegitimate twin. Has anyone done a code comparison???
that a racist nigger is actually running for president.
Raise your hand if you believed for an instant that her run for Senate was anything other than a stepping stone back into the White House, only this time to be #1 instead of merely the co-president.
To the tune of "Puff the Magic Dragon:"
Barack the Magic Negro lives in D.C.
The L.A. Times, they called him that
'Cause he's not authentic like me.
Yeah, the guy from the L.A. paper
Said he makes guilty whites feel good
They'll vote for him, and not for me
'Cause he's not from the hood.
See, real black men, like Snoop Dog,
Or me, or Farrakhan
Have talked the talk, and walked the walk.
Not come in late and won!
[refrain]
Oh, Barack the Magic Negro, lives in D.C.
The L.A. Times, they called him that
'Cause he's black, but not authentically.
Oh, Barack the Magic Negro, lives in D.C.
The L.A. Times, they called him that

Some say Barack's "articulate"
And bright and new and "clean."
The media sure loves this guy,
A white interloper's dream!
But, when you vote for president,
Watch out, and don't be fooled!
Don't vote the Magic Negro in --
'Cause --
'cause I won't have nothing after all these years of sacrifice
And I won't get justice. This is about justice. This isn't about me, it's about justice.
It's about buffet. I don't have no buffet and there won't be any church contributions,
And there'll be no cash in the collection plate.
There ain't gonna be no cash money, no walkin' around money, no phoning money.
Now, Barack going to come in here and --
A grammar Nazi is -
An elitist bastard that enjoys pointing out errors that no one else caught because they got the correct meaning anyways. Grammar Nazis also the only known exemption to Godwin's law.
If you are about to mod me down, keep in mind that this post was most likely sarcastic.
How the fuck is this troll? Oh.. I see. It compared Apple to Microsoft. Blasphemy!
