Mozilla Fixes 2 Crucial Bugs in Firefox

Mozilla has released version 2.006 of its mainstream browser Firefox, which fixes 2 very important security vulnerabilities. This fix has been introduced just before the launch of the infamous BlackHat security conference in Las Vegas this week.

Among the two fixes, one of them - MFSA 2007-27- takes care of an issue where Firefox did not properly encode spaces and double-quotes while parsing URLs. This allowed execution of any program installed at a known location and would allow enough access to a compromised system to completely taken over. The second, and smaller fix - MFSA 2007-26 - corrects a bug that was introduced by the fix for an earlier vulnerability. This vulnerability would allow escalation attacks against add-ons that create "about: blank" windows.

Samsung Bordeaux 26R7

This one seems to be a favorite for gamers around the country, probably because Microsoft has been putting these on display with their Xbox 360s in every electronic store they could find. Not that I'm complaining in any way, as the 26R7 is a great TV to have for personal entertainment purposes.
The plentiful connectivity options makes sure you can connect your game console, DVD player and your PC to this one, making it an all-round entertainment display for you. Though I have a personal gripe against the Piano finish trend, plaguing all electronics these days, I have to admit the curvaceous body and the glossy finish does look stellar on this one.
Rs. 37,900 was the cheapest price I could find on this one, which is still better than the Rs. 39,990 that the company offered us. If you have the money, then this is a great TV.

LG 26LX2R

The biggest advantage this flat panel display has is the XD picture enhancement technology that boosts the colors and the sharpness of the picture to give you near-HD quality from your regular DVD player or a non-HD home gaming console.
You'll get just as many connectivity options here as in the Samsung TV above, and though it may not look like a Bordeaux, it does hold its own when it comes to overall performance.
At its price of Rs. 38,500 you will probably end up spending a bit more on this unit than the competition's, but the XD technology may come in handy when playing your older game consoles from a shorter viewing distance.
