darthcamaro writes “Remember the big DNS flaw that Dan Kaminsky ‘discovered’ last year? Well, it looks like another flaw in DNS has just been patched.

Nick Fletcher writes “Just a few short months after the initial release, Google has released a pre-beta version of Google Chrome 2.0. It sports a few new features including form auto-completion, full-page zoom, ‘profiles,’ and Greasemonkey support. It seems the only notable feature would be profiles, which allows users to separate out their homepage, history, and bookmarks on a per user or category basis. It seems Google is still playing catch-up but they’re definitely moving at a pace unknown to some of their competition. The full list of new features is available in the release notes.”
