SIGNAL BOOST - Update Java now!

[sid]

If you have Java enabled on your computer, you need to update to the newest version, 7.7, which was released August 30th. The version right before that leaves you vulnerable in nasty ways, and older versions still leave you more vulnerable than the newest update.

I'll let Beth (lolmac) explain it better, so go here for more details, instructions, and links to news articles.

Slightly Peeved Ocelot

I'm now adopting that version of Apple's nomenclature.

There is a 7.7 for Mac, but not a 6.35 (which patches the older holes but isn't vulnerable to the v.7 holes). Gah.

Hee, yeah, in our household:

Slightly Peeved Ocelot = Lion
Mad Wet Bobcat = Mountain Lion

Haven't quite settled on one for "version after this one" yet. We've tried on a few for size, but right now the one that seems to be winning is Moderately Irked Lynx.

How about Vicious Blue Puma? (saluting the Smothers Brothers) It has a nice rhythm to it. But so does Moderately Irked Lynx.
