any aspect of a web page's design or interaction.

TechWeb
reports:
April's
mega collection includes 20 new vulnerabilities, 8 of which are rated
as “Critical,” the most dire assessment in the Redmond, Wash.-based
developer's four-level ranking system. Sixteen of the 20
vulnerabilities can be exploited remotely, the most dangerous type of
bug because hackers can conduct an attack over the Internet.(...)
MS04-011,
which includes 14 new vulnerabilities, affects every version of Windows
to one degree or another, and if exploited, could allow attackers
remote access to a PC. The most serious of the bugs affect Windows NT,
2000, XP, and Server 2003.(...)
Also in MS04-011's
mega-collection of Windows bugs is one that involves SSL (Secure Socket
Layer) (...) “X-Force believes that hackers will aggressively target
this vulnerability given the high-value nature of Web sites protected
by SSL.”(...)
[The second] security update includes four new
vulnerabilities in the RPC/DCOM components of Windows (...) “The
RPC/DCOM Runtime vulnerability should be of special concern to all
users,” said Gullotto. “There's great potential for another worm that
exploits this.” (...)
Microsoft's third bulletin of the day
involves Outlook Express (OE) (...) An attacker who builds malicious
URLs could run HTML code in the Local Security zone of Internet
Explorer, possibly resulting in a takeover of the system.(...)

OS X virus warning criticised, no threat exists
A
security company that warned of the first 'trojan horse-style virus for
Mac OS X has been criticised by developers and security experts for
raising an unnecessary false alarm. (...)
Intego first warned of the potential security threat last week. (...)
Intego fails to mention that there are as yet no instances of this in the wild, meaning no computers have been infected. (...)
Security
experts criticised Intego for making an issue of the potential
vulnerability: 'They gave the impression that this is a threat, but it
isn't,' Dave Schroeder, a systems engineer with the University of
Wisconsin, told Wired.com. 'It is a benign proof of concept that was
posted to a newsgroup. It isn't in the wild, and can't be spread in the
wild. It's a non-issue.' (...)

FreeBSD funnies such as "How many FreeBSD hackers does it take to change a lightbulb?" and "Where does data written to /dev/null go?":
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/funnies.html
...and then there recently was this new candidate:
Subject: Re: My freebsd dream
From: chris.trismegistus@gmail.com
To: freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org
I have a dream that one day this [OS] will rise up and live out the
true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident:
that all [code is] created equal." I have a dream that one day on the
red[mond] hills of [Washington] the [derived works] of former
[research projects] and the [derived works] of former [corporations]
will be able to [link] together [in] a table of [compatibility]. I
have a dream that one day even the [company of Microsoft], a desert
[company], sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will
be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream
that my four [computers] will one day [run] in a nation where they
will not be judged by the color of their [GUI] but by the content of
their [code base]. I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day the state of [IP], whose [lawyer's] lips
are presently dripping with the words of interposition and
nullification, will be transformed into a situation where little
[freebsd boxes] and [linux boxes] will be able to [share code] with
little [windows boxes] and [solaris boxes] and [run] together as
[clients] and [servers]. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one
day every [interface] shall be [defined], every [bug] and [error]
shall be [documented], the [compiler warnings] will be made
[understandable], and the [stack pages] will be made [no-exec], and
the glory of the [Code] shall be revealed, and all [users] shall see
it together. This is our hope. This is the faith with which I return
to the [buildworld]. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the
mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able
to transform the jangling discords of [operating systems] into a
beautiful [cluster] of [beowulf]. With this faith we will be able to
work together, to [code] together, to [debug] together, to [core dump]
together, to stand up for [standards] together, knowing that we will
be [compatible] one day.

I wonder how
this will develop
...
"There is more than plenty of work here to be done and we only have a month to get it all finished."
[...]
"So far we have pretty much been tearing out things amd the more we take out we find even more that should be fixed. Like the floor in the living room. We just wanted to put in some new pipes for the heating system and the main watter line. So we opened up the wooden floor to find out that one of the supporting beams is rotten at the end. So, we open up more to find out that they are all rotten. Great! Now we got the bare dirt floor."
