Flock Developer Preview : The New Brave Browser!



Ok people so I had applied for this beta testing and as you see I just got this email from these folks. I quickly ran it on my OS. The guys are honest enough to warn you NOT to import any settings from your existing browsers. It's OK to import IE settings...you have to lose that browser someday. :-)

Anyways here we go...Check out the pics here!!!

Go get it!






Love this blog editor!




Options pane (If you noticed, it has the Web services tab too)



Neat and Groovy tab too ;)




go to the site and see for yourself!

So my quick and dirty opinion
  • It's colorful
  • It's got a neat Blog editor
  • Added tabs/options pane
  • Sharing your favorites is a *new* thing to me and they say ...
    Wondering what it's all about? Sharing your favorite web pages (a.k.a. bookmarks) is convenient and fun. You keep your list of Favorites on a web service, where you can access them from any computer with a network connection. Others can look at your lists and learn from them, and you can in turn learn from people whose lists you find interesting.


    So see for yourself, it sure is worth a try!

The issue is in the vmstor-60 driver, which is supposed to mount VMware images within the host OS. When sending the IOCTL code FsSetVoleInformation with subcode FsSetFileInformation with a large buffer and underreporting its size to at max 1024 bytes, it will underrun and potentially execute arbitrary code.

OS Virtualization comparison: Parallels' Virtuozzo vs the rest

Virtuozzo's main differentiators versus hypervisors center on overhead, virtualization flexibility, administration and cost. Virtuozzo requires significantly less overhead than hypervisor solutions, generally in the range of 1% to 5% compared with 7% to 25% for most hypervisors, leaving more of the system available to run user workloads. Customers can also virtualize a wider range of applications using Virtuozzo, including transactional databases, which often suffer from performance problems when used with hypervisors. On the administration side, customers need to manage, maintain and secure just a single OS instance, while the hypervisor model requires customers to manage many OS instances. Of course, the hypervisor vendors have worked hard to automate much of this process, but it still requires more effort to manage and maintain multiple operating systems than a single instance. Finally, OS virtualization with Virtuozzo has a lower list price than the leading hypervisor for comme...
