Yes, IE8 does use multiple processes to prevent a crash from taking down the whole browser. In fact, we were the first browser to have this. See http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2008/03/11/ie8-and-loosely-coupled-ie-lcie.aspx for more info. Thanks, Andy

Apple Issues Patches For 25 Security Holes 241

Posted by CmdrTaco on Friday April 20, 2007 @09:42AM from the it's-much-better-now-trust-me dept.

TheCybernator writes "Apple today released software updates to plug more than two dozen security holes in its Mac OS X operating system and other software. The free patches are available via the Mac's built-in Software Update feature or directly from Apple's Web site. All told, today's batch fixes some 25 distinct security vulnerabilities, including a dangerous flaw present in the AirPort wireless devices built into a number of Apple computers, including the eMac, the iBook, iMac, Powerbook G3 and G4, and the Power Mac G4. Apple said computers with its AirPort Extreme wireless cards are not affected. Earlier this month, Apple released a software update to fix a vulnerability in its wireless router, the AirPort Extreme Base Station. That update and instructions on how to apply it are available at the link."

Process? When I think "process", I think IBM. Process stifles innovation. Yes, you need a balance between process and wrecklessness, but process isn't the answer. Seriously -- what talented, creative devs want to walk into a place where they have to produce 10 lines of documentation for every line of code? Nobody -- that's why startups are cool and MS, Google, and Amazon still try to retain a startup culture.
