My, how the face of browser security has changed recently. A quick glance at eWeek's browser security page shows that nearly all of the recent security flaws have been found in Mozilla/Firefox and Apple products. There's an excellent article today on Firefox being the first browser to suffer a zero-day exploit. Ouch.

Apple's iTunes has another security vulnerability, just discovered today. In good news, however, hearty congratulations are in order for Symantec on being the first antivirus company to detect the new Mydoom.BQ virus. Also in good news, there are no critical updates for Windows XP this month!

Here's a great article on ROT13 and ROT47 encryption. And, ah, the joys of modular arithmetic: the important thing to remember about the modulus is that the decimal remainder needs to be multiplied by the divisor, not the dividend, to get the actual whole number answer (e.g., 14 % 26 = 14 [fourteen modulo twenty-six equals fourteen] because 26 goes into 14 zero times, with a remainder of 14; or in other words, 14 / 26 = .5384615, which when multiplied by 26 equals 14). Fun stuff.
