A tale about security

Posted by bordalix Fri, 28 Mar 2008 11:23:00 GMT

Once open a time, a company which had a lot of people using his digital media player, pushed people to use his browser through an 'almost automatic' software update. People complained about this behaviour, others defend it, and there was what someone called a nano-scandal, and a lot of people installed the new browser.

And then there were the bad guys (cause a tale has always bad guys), who found a way to break into someone's computer through a bug in the referenced browser. So, the company was/his installing a lock into a lot of personal computers, and someone has just found the master key.

Bad timing? Bad luck? Or karma?

Safari 3.1 Gmail problem

Posted by bordalix Wed, 19 Mar 2008 22:10:00 GMT

If you upgraded your Safari to the new 3.1 version, use Gmail, and now your Shift or Tab keys are making your cursor jumping back to the To: field, here is the solution: change your default language to English (US); click on "Newer version" on the top right of the screen - only English (US) version has this option enabled; you are done, Gmail should be working perfectly now.

I guess people at Cupertino doesn't use Gmail...

Update: the same problem happens with Gmail for Google Apps, and I don't know how to solve it. Need a hand.
