Apple Adds Memory Randomization To Leopard 311
.mack notes a ZDNet blog outlining some of the security features added to OSX Leopard (10.5). Here's Apple's brief description of all 11 new security features. "Apple has announced plans to add code-scrambling diversity to Mac OS X Leopard, a move aimed at making the operating system more resilient to virus and worm attacks. The security technology, known as ASLR (address space layout randomization), randomly arranges the positions of key data areas to prevent malware authors from predicting target addresses. Another new feature coming in Leopard is Sandboxing (systrace), which limits an application's access to the system by enforcing access policies for system calls."

Where are the scores of Microsoft fanboys bashing Apple, damn it!
90% of them don't have any real passions or sense of quality and are just playing follow-the-market-leader.
The other 10% are too busy chewing Ayn Rand's carpet

or to decide that it's good enough to use but not worth his money - maybe he'll spend a few hours learning what's new and consider himself even with Apple after they forced him to 'waste his precious time'.

Having never used an iMac, eMac or any other apple computer ever in my life i can truly say they suck. Shelley is just the only one brave enough to enlighten you people and what do you do? Criticize all the way?
Why dos the mac mouse have only one button? Because they are made for islamic terorist that lost most of their fingers in accidents trying to assemble bombs. How could they rightclick on normal mice when they are designing their bombs? They can't.
And MacOS is not easy to use it's just so simple and devoid of functions that even iliterate terorists can use it. Go Shelly, Go USA.

Wow. What's the jackpot currently sitting at for the Lotto in your state? Like $2000 or something? (I'm assuming you plan to take it as a cash disbursement rather than spread out over 20 years)
