The software giant had said on Wednesday that it was looking at the bug, discovered by researcher Laurent Gaffi?, who published proof-of-concept code on a blog.</p> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-pricegrabber-keywords"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> Video Card </div> </div> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Amwo4pX23-aYOqWoHEGwWByLwmk/0/da"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Amwo4pX23-aYOqWoHEGwWByLwmk/1/da"></img></a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Google Chrome OS: A Nice Place to Visit, But?</h1> <p>Jared Maynard — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 02:14:17 +0000</p> <p>Google's Chrome operating system could mark a turning point in computing, but many questions remain. Today's rumor is the OS will be released to developers next week, answering some questions but probably raising even more. Google had previously promised Chrome OS, in some form, before the end of this year. Chrome OS strikes me as being just enough Linux to allow an underpowered computer to run Chrome browser and connect to cloud-based applications.
