First, we have information on the security contents of the release. This is a big pile of patches – over two dozen. To make matters more serious, quite a few of these can be triggered remotely, and some through malicious websites.

The Recall Recoil The Recall is something I would personally consider as a bold move, firstly because things were going great for Samsung so it was kind of easy to suppress the defect or handle it on a case-by-case basis, and second, it is always moves like this that are perceived negatively in the Stock markets. Last week, after several reports of Note 7 overheating and catching fire, Samsung announced the global recall....

Because it’s so easy to enable secure DNS in ChromeOS, this should be considered a must-do for anyone who’s adamant about security and privacy....
