Steve’s Stuff

A friend loaned me his Garmin StreetPilot for a long car trip we took last week. OK, I’m sold. So now I’m not sure on what to buy. The Street Pilot i5 is the latest from Garmin. It has voice navigation, isn’t too expensive, and is preloaded with all of North America. It lacks the features of the more expensive Street Pilot 2620 that I just used, but I can’t see paying $500 more for the additional features.

I need to find a GPS gadget geek website!

Mozilla Web browsers are potentially more vulnerable to attack than Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, according to a Symantec report,
says CNET News in the article Symantec: Mozilla browsers more vulnerable than IE | CNET News.com.

But I think this is the kicker: There is one caveat: Symantec counts only those security flaws that have been confirmed by the vendor. According to security monitoring company Secunia, there are 19 security issues that Microsoft still has to deal with for Internet Explorer, while there are only three for Firefox.

So, while there may *have been* more flaws, if one is fully patched and up to date, I read this as there are fewer *active* flaws in Mozilla browsers.
