How did this get modded Offtopic? The iMac has gone through so many appearance changes, and speculating an upcoming release of a new iMac may have one isn't off-topic!
If it's already been submitted as a story on Slashdot, sometimes there's more information and other relevant links on the Slashdot page. It is also just a courtesy to give credit to whomever submitted the story as a reference. For really old stories, sometimes sites change or go down, so links to external pages can be broken and all you have is the information in the previous slashdot story. It maintains story thread integrity for archival purposes. News and reference sites do this as well, placing links in their articles to other related articles on their site.
Actually, CERT gave the announcement on June 10. What you have noticed is that Slashdot has decided to post a story about the announcement on the same day the patch is made available.
<conspiracy> What you should be wondering is if this has anything to do with the fact that Slashdot receives revenue from Microsoft advertising. </conspiracy>
It was only mentioned two posts before this that CERT advised people to stay away from IE, even though CERT released that advisory on June 10, and it was even reported on BBC on June 14. Now this story comes along mentioning the patch will be available later today? The CERT advisory could have been published on Slashdot nearly a month ago, but conveniently is published on the same day as the fix is released. Was it intentional to keep information about the CERT announcement off of Slashdot until the fix was released?
Can this technology be used like a CT scans and MRIs? If it can provide images "which reportedly resemble those produced by ultrasound" that "are relatively high-resolution", then perhaps it could be used this way.

CERT gave the warning on July 10. BBC reported this on June 14. I tried to submit 5 different revisions of this story on June 16. I thought it was important to get the word out because I would like to have known about this if I was running windows (I did on my old laptop).
Are you thinking of the 12" Powerbook G4, which is aluminum?
Actually you're right. I was confused because all the laptops in the local Apple dealer are aluminum. I presumed that some on display were the iBook, but I guess they haven't been displaying them.
Apple currently has two distinct case types. White for home, and metallic for professional.
The iBook, iMac and iPod are all white
The iBook G4 is aluminum. The iPod minis aren't targetted at professionals, and they're metallic. The old Apple 23" Cinema displays, targeted at professionals, weren't metallic. Apple didn't have any metallic displays to match the Power Mac G5 casing until recently.
It seems Apple has been changing their entire product line so that they all have aluminum casing. They changed the iBooks so that they had them. Then the Power Mac G5 had one. The iPod minis have them. The new displays all have them. Maybe they're going to change the iMac casing as well.
The reason for this delay is that we are close to developing a mouse with MORE THAN ONE BUTTON!
There are modifications to the mouse Apple may be using. One was previously mentioned on Slashdot, and another was mentioned in the Register. They involve integrating scrolling methods that work similar to a scroll wheel.
I think Apple was trying to stress the internet as a medium for transfering data rather than floppies when they released the iMac. They probably thought emailing attachments would work better than carrying floppies. I'm just assuming that's what the "i" stood for.
And they probably were trying to let market forces allow a larger capacity disc become a standard as well, like Zip discs or memory card readers, because 3.5" discs just didn't have enough capacity for a lot of things people needed. Without an established new standard, leaving USB ports available so users can add their choice of drive would seem the logical thing to do.
Okay, it worked on the third go. I guess you have to repeatedly ask it the same question before you get an answer, kind of like cross-examining a Microsoft executive in court.

Oh. I forgot that Slashdot repeats stories. My mistake.
Perhaps you missed the title of that paragraph that reads "Use a different web browser".
I really have no reason to go back to IE. Except for a few passwords I have stored in IE that I have no idea what they are
You may not know them, but apparently some Russian organised crime gangs may.
It was less than a week, wasn't it?
Nope

I must remember to run Windows Update too, so I can get this patch. Oh wait a minute... I don't have to! I'm on a MAC!

You can boot from a CD on a Mac. You can use the OS installation CD or an emergency boot CD from Norton Utilities if you have hard drive problems.

Old News for Nerds. Stuff that mattered.

More like the Nation estate will come crawling on their knees for a piece of the pie.
Maybe they are already here...
Yes they are. They are at the following address.
proof that smart, geeky guys do get to be with the cute girls sometimes!
Yes, on television where the girls are paid... actually, I suppose that does apply to real life as well.

Did I say aluminum? I meant plastic. </footinmouth>

And quite possibly uses the same code...
