meep!
actually this exploit is only available for code running in ring 0 meaning an operating system or hypervisor, if a process has that kind of access to the processor on a computer with a regular OS you're screwed anyway. the big deal is when running hypervisors with VM's that might compromise the host and take control over other VM's. not a good thing for large virtual environments like amazon's and microsoft's cloud services. so unless you're running hypervisors i'd go back to sleep.
you should know that threat has already or will be reworked for wrath so that the super careful aggro management we're used to during boss pulls won't be a problem anymore. this means that you shouldn't have to think twice about PoMing even during threat sensitive fights.
hopefully Grid2 will be ready for wrath, not sure they're quite there yet though.
I dunno if this helps, but my left hand always rests naturally on the AWD keys for my middle fingers, shift for the pinky and space for my thumb, so it's from that position i have all my keyboard shortcuts. naturally, keys 1-5 require minimal motion to hit and i've got my most used healing spells there (raiding holy priest). together with the addons grid and clique, i hold down shift, mouse over the unit frame and click any of my mouse buttons for different spells so i can cast them without selecting any units first. Q is wanding, E is resurrection but could easy do anything you want, G is mass dispell and so on. this way i move my hand minimally 95% of the time and can still remain really agily during encounters and also run while instacasting spells. with some training, you'd never have to look at your keyboard to hit the right keys.
"3 girls 1 basket"
what part of "prevents the target from dying" is hard to understand?

this will be a great raid tool for bosses such as leotheras, gurtogg or illidans dark barrage where most or all healers need to spam a non-tank class to keep them alive. it might be considered a "retard spell" by some but something needs to be done to make healing more appealing.
wow, that text must've been auto-translated to english, the grammar is horrible!
It's awesome that they fix these bugs, but seriously, the hunter kill command/autoshot bug has been confirmed since january 23rd on the forums and it still happens to pretty much all hunters all the time. what the hell is up with that?
once you go quartz, you never go back!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
