The current version downloads and installs itself. No human interaction required besides viewing an infected webpage. Don't confuse the "viruses are impossible to get on a Mac" crowd more by trying to make them learn the subcategories of malicious software. The fact it was originally a trojan that required the admin password to install versus the drive by installer requiring none is something more for the academics quibble about, not the end users.


Granted, this is /., so it's academics and fanboys anyhow >.>

Used properly and as required, it's all great stuff. The problems occur when directions aren't followed, the wrong drugs/chemicals are used for a given situation or stuff gets diluted for the sake of cost. When I go to the doctor with a basic cold or flu, I usually have to request that they don't give me antibiotics. It's usually a surprising request, but happily met.

Google Chrome To Have Real-Time Communications 121

kai_hiwatari writes "Last month, Google released an open-source project called WebRTC which aims to enables Real-Time Communications capabilities in the web browsers through simple JavaScript APIs. Now, they have taken the first step towards having WebRTC built into Chrome. With WebRTC, developers will be able to build voice and video applications using nothing more than HTML and JavaScript. This is a powerful technology which can challenge services like Skype."
