Or otherwise known as: Windows Mobile Flaws Could Crash Your  Phone. OH NOES!!!

via C|NET and TrendMicro

Surprise Surprise … Pocket IE not to be outdone by it’s bigger and much more capable brother Internet Explorer is vulnerable to a maliciously coded webpage that "When exploited, this vulnerability can cause a stack overflow, which
terminates IE and makes the mobile device unstable. An affected device
must be reset to resume using IE."

Out of curiosity … what’s the big frickin deal? Doesn’t PIE crash all the bloody time anyway? Is that not why we have all sought out alternatives to this most horrible piece of software? Try browsing on a smartphone with EDGE. If you aren’t a healthy mixture of homicidal and suicidal within 15 minutes … you must still be using Windows 98 on your laptop.

Part 2:

Quote: "When Pictures and Videos application tries to read a malformed
JPEG file, the device can hang for 10-15 minutes while attempting to
process the file. However, no error occurs during this period and the
user would have no indication as to why the device is not responding. "

Again … I don’t know about you, but when my BlackJack (and this is very rare) decides it wants to sit around and think about random things for absolutely no reason for more than about 3 minutes, I shut the thing off and start anew. If you’re crazy enough to sit there and stare at your smartphone/PDA for 10-15 minutes as it plays deaf, dumb and blind … You must still be using Windows 98 on your laptop.

Easy solutions here folks –

1. Run out and buy the best Anti-Virus program you can. (Sarcasm)

2. If PIE hangs your system … reboot it     … then go download Opera Mobile or Minimo

3. If a picture hangs your system … reboot it     — then re-evaluate where you are downloading your porn from. They might not be a reputable source. LOL
