Major security flaw in Internet Explorer !!

I just came across this article on Yahoo!Tech:
Major flaw revealed in Internet Explorer; users urged to switch

Security experts are recommending that users switch from Internet Explorer to Firefox, Opera, Chrome, Safari as they are not affected.

This vulnerability affects Internet Explorer version 5 though 8 beta.

Linux command of the week

I was working on my system today and was wondering, "How can I see the differences between two files?"

Well, the answer is ... the
diff command.

The
diff command will show you the differences between 2 files and the line numbers of where the two files differ.

eg $ diff file1 file2

Official Google Blog: Google Chrome (BETA)

Google Chrome is out of beta now. I see that is only available for Windows XP and Windows Vista. Hopefully a Linux version will be available soon.
I tired this a few months ago when the beta was released. I was pretty impressed with it.
Have your tried it yet? What are you thoughts
