Mozilla Firefox 1.0.1 正式推出

這是 Mozillazine 的新聞:Mozilla Firefox 1.0.1 Released,這次的修正包括了幾個 security issue (最有名的當就是 IDN 的問題了),還有幾個 bugfix,不過沒看到 tab memory leak 被列出來?

非正式 changelog 可以看這裡:unofficial Firefox 1.0.1 changelog

另外一點,1.0.1 英文版的部分可以用 Bittorrent Download:Official Mozilla BitTorrents,應該去推廣用 kenosis 的…。

相當爆笑的 EULA

Kingsley Idehen’s Blog 看到「Proof That (Almost) No One Reads End User License Agreements」,而證明沒有人看的方法是:

anti-spyware firm PC Pitstop buried a note in its own EULA, saying they would give $1,000 to the first person who emailed them at a certain address.

而這個 $1000 用了多久才送出去呢?

It only took four months and over 3,000 downloads before someone noticed it and sent an email (and got the $1,000).

由於在某些國家對消費者的保護比較嚴格,如果某套軟體讓使用者同意 EULA 用的方法被證明會使得使用者「幾乎不會看」,這可能會使得 EULA 無效:

While this is an amusing story, it should also serve to show that EULAs shouldn’t be valid at all.
