Windows 7 Enterprise edition. I am using workstation in my office. I confirmed this by checking with 2 other colleagues.

I disabled Javascript and the site did not crash my pc.

learning a programming language!

I know Java, brushing it up, I am learning Python (Mostly from Udacity classes and MIT classes), I can do some Android development also.

There are chances for misuse also..

Great invention! Why don't you appreciate the other information provided?

Invention? I fail to understand.

In any case, in your posting (I see that you wrote that info tidbit):

1) most of the page was advertisement. I don't mean only the various side-bar and in-line ads, and massive numbers of links to other content from the same site, but the text itself including things like "Attackers can exploit your PC remotely" where "exploit" had a mouseover to an ad to "Watch TV live" and "your PC" was an iPhone mouseover ad.

2) the information was wrong: there is no known exploit. The actual published bug "allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors that trigger an integer truncation". This may or may not be an exploit.

Apologies for my early reply

Actually the link mentioned in the post says this

"An integer overflow in the libpng library can lead to a heap-buffer overflow when decompressing certain PNG images. This leads to a crash, which may be potentially exploitable."

which may be potentially exploitable

that's what is mentioned in the post.

Regarding mouse over ads, apologies for not providing a good reading experience. Since the original link is in blue and the ad is in green, I thought it was easily distinguishable. I will look after it.

Thanks for the comment :)

"May be potentially exploitable" is not the same as "can". Your article several times says "can".

I hate reading spam-filled "news" sites, and would rather read the original news, or insightful commentary. As this is "Hacker News", the commentary you provided was not insightful to its expected audience.

Moving to the TypePad sign in page not good:(

I also thinking the same thing. Why there are prefixes in the first place?

To allow vendors to implement them and developers to use the appropriate implementation. For example:

-moz-border-radius-bottomright:1em;

-webkit-border-bottom-right-radius:1em;

What would be the alternative? You couldn't only do border-radius-bottomright: 1em, because that wouldn't work in webkit. Nor would you want to force the vendors to check with each other first before implementing features, because that would slow down progress and make it slightly more difficult for new open source browsers to get started.

Got the point :) Thanks for the explanation

>>Firefox is gone

I completely disagree with. Yeah its going down in terms of usage. Yet still it is improving and growing.

What I meant is that it has lost steam and the one pushing ahead now is Chrome. If you read the conclusion, I think and hope that we will stay with a fragmented, competitive market with the leader being the best one at the given point in time (modulo the market inertia, etc.). This would be better for everybody.

A built-in adblocker, alone doesn't ensure the top spot among browsers. If that is the case then Chrome should not have reached this place in browser market. Yeah Chrome too have an adblocker. But Chrome started to gain market share, before even getting an adblocker!

Yes most of the things written in this article is not based on facts. Your guess might be true.

Not all work starts at 9 A.M!

Confirming. This week I am round 10 last week I managed to pull off getting here before 8 two times. Flextime is great. Tomorrow I am gone at 3pm.
