The
Security Update released the other day has its good and ba
d side, users report.
Good news first: apparently the keyboard glitch that plagues
MacBook and MacBook Pro users who've upgraded to Leopar
d where keyboards freeze for up to over a minute when using Ca
rbon apps has been solved with the Security Update.
Bad news: under special circumstances, the new Security Update can cause crashe
s in Safari. Changes made to address security issues in the ap
p inadvertently crash Apple's own browser, particularly in handling frames. The Mac Observer<
/a>'s coding expert, Steven Swift observes the problem -
The error happens when the user tries to submit a form to another t
arget frame or window. Safari stops that, and, in fact, crashes. The idea is to
keep any malicious hacker from, for example, trying to load code into a hidden
window.
The problem seems to be specific to Safari, and does not affect other browsers
like Firefox and Omniweb.
Directly after installing this update, the video card apparently blew out on my
MBP's external monitor, a 23" Cinema Display.
Not saying this update was the cause, but I certainly think the timing seems we
ird.
(The display is out of warranty, so I have some expensive decisions to make sho
rtly.)
Yeast infections are not considered to be sexually transmitted infections (STI)
because a celibate woman can develop them, but having unprotected sex can pass
them along. A man who has unprotected sex with a woman who has an active yeast
infection can get a penile yeast infection. Transmission of genital yeast infe
ctions from woman to man is uncommon, but it does happen.
