WordPress 2.6.2 was released today and contains few bug fixes. Ryan from WordPress Blog explained,
“If you allow open registration on your blog, you should definitely upgrade. With open registration enabled, it is possible in WordPress versions 2.6.1 and earlier to craft a username such that it will allow resetting another user’s password to a randomly generated password. The randomly generated password is not disclosed to the attacker, so this problem by itself is annoying but not a security exploit. However, this attack coupled with a weakness in the random number seeding in mt_rand() could be used to predict the randomly generated password. Stefan Esser will release details of the complete attack shortly. The attack is difficult to accomplish, but its mere possibility means we recommend upgrading to 2.6.2.”
Even though I’m not enable open registration on my blog, I already upgraded to this latest release to keep my wordpress blog up-to-date cause there are also contains a handful of bug fixes. To see the detail, check out at http://wordpress.org/development/.
While we already have a perfectly good Web browser like Firefox, Opera, IE, or Safari, do we still need another Web browser? Yes, if we want something simpler, a little faster, and less prone to crashing… that’s what Google Inc.’s new Chrome want to offer.
As we know, Mozilla’s Firefox 3 and Apple Inc.’s Safari 3 browsers have their loyal users but aren’t as widely used as IE. So, last week released Chrome from Google, the search engine giant might be a Web browser that competes directly with market leader IE7, from Microsoft Corp.
I tested Chrome for a few days and yes I can feel it does offer a few innovations and hits the mark on speed, stability and simplicity. So far I thought Firefox is the fastest browser, but Chrome beat it during browsing the net with multiple pages open simultaneously.
Chrome certainly has the plainest user interface of any browser I’ve used, including IE, Firefox, Safari and Opera. Don’t try to find out where they put menu bar, status bar, or even an option to organize bookmarks cause its really not exist in this beta version. That features might be to be added later when official release. Continue reading “Google Chrome Browser : Simple and Fast”
While everybody remembering Katrina 3-year anniversary which were killed more than 1,600 people, the Gulf Coast now wait for another powerful hurricane… its Gustav.
1. Historic evacuation of nearly 2 millions people from Louisiana coast complete. Thousands more had left from Mississippi, Alabama and flood-prone southeast Texas.
2. Gustav already killed at least 94 people on its path through the Caribbean.
3. It had top sustained winds of 115 mph, and was likely to stay a Category 3 storm when it made landfall west of New Orleans. Category 3 storms have winds between 111 mph and 130 mph.
4. The nation’s economic attention was focused on Gustav’s effect on refineries and offshore petroleum production rigs. The combination of prolonged production interruptions, such as occurred when Katrina and Rita damaged the Gulf infrastructure, could trigger rising prices.
