Notations From the Grid (Special Edition): On the Status of Google Chrome ((Courtesy Technilious)

It takes less than a minute to safeguard your computer.
A newly-found bug in the Chrome desktop browser for Macs and Windows PCs lets hackers take over your computer. So stop what you’re doing and update Chrome right now.

The exploit is particularly dangerous because it doesn’t require you to do anything wrong. If you visit a site with malicious code, it can let a hacker remotely execute code on your computer.
