Russian leader calls downing of fighter jet a "hostile act" and says a Trump presidency will deepen ties with US.
Russia's President Vladimir Putin has criticised Turkey in a fresh verbal offensive, ruling out any rapprochement with its current leaders.
Speaking at the Kremlin's annual press conference on Thursday, he said the Turkish air force's downing of a Russian fighter plane on the Syria border last month was a "hostile act".
Putin said it would be "hard ... if at all possible" to reach an agreement with Turkey under its current leadership.
"What have they achieved? Maybe they thought that we would run away from there [Syria]? But Russia is not such a country".
Putin also suggested that Turkey had acted at the behest of the Americans, with possible tacit approval from the US.
"I don't know if there was such a trade-off, maybe there was," Putin said.
"If somebody in the Turkish leadership decided to lick the Americans in one place ... I don't know, if they did the right thing."
Since the shooting down on November 24 of the Russian plane by Turkey, the leaders of the two countries have exchanged angry allegations focusing on each other's activities in Syria.
Putin has previously accused Turkey of helping the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group and funding it by buying oil from the fields it controls.
Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has rejected the charges and has criticised Russia's air campaign in Syria for disproportionately targeting Syrian rebels and not ISIL fighters.
Turkish officials say the downed Russian Su-24 jet had crossed into Turkish territory and refused to comply with an order to leave, but Russia says the plane was inside Syria.
Before the incident, Turkey had scrambled jets on several occasions to counter what it claims were Russian violations of its airspace.
Putin spoke at length on a number of issues, including the ongoing presidential race in the US and the candidacy of Donald Trump, the leading Republican hopeful who has courted controversy with a threat to ban Muslims from entering the US.
Putin said a Trump victory in next year's election would allow deeper ties between Washington and Moscow.
"He [Trump] says that he wants to move to another level of relations, to a deeper level of relations with Russia. How can we not welcome it? Of course we welcome it," he said.
Trump has praised Putin's decision to take military action in Syria and his warm words towards the Russian leader stand in sharp contrast to current US policy towards Russia.
The US strongly opposes Russia's involvement in eastern Ukraine and in Syria.
Amid all the hype of Apple's new Mac OS X Lion and MacBook Air refresh yesterday, Apple also released a major browser update.
Safari 5.1 is the new version of Apple's browser that is included with OS X Lion and it's also available for download on Windows PCs as well. From a security perspective, the Safari 5.1 update tackles 37 memory flaws inside of the WebKit rendering engine.
"Multiple memory corruption issues existed in WebKit," Apple warned in its security advisory. "Visiting a maliciously crafted website may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution."
WebKit is also being patched for an additional seven vulnerabilities including fixes for a libxlst flaw, a URL spoofing vulnerability, DNS prefetching and multiple cross-origin issues.
WebKit isn't the only piece of Safari that was vulnerable to attack. Apple is also patching the ImageIO system for at least four different issues dealing with viewing malicious TIFF images.
Among the other interesting fixes is one for Safari's autofill feature.
"Safari's AutoFill web forms feature filled in non-visible form fields, and the information was accessible by scripts on the site before the user submitted the form," Apple's advisory states. "This issue is addressed by displaying all fields that will be filled, and requiring the user's consent before AutoFill informat...
Safari 5.1 also introducing something called the Privacy Pane. The Privacy Pane shows browser users what data sites are storing on the users Mac or PC and makes it easier to delete or block. For Mac OSX Lion users, Apple is going a step further providing full sandboxing of code running in Safari.
"If a website contains malicious code intended to capture personal data or take control of your computer, sandboxing automatically blocks it to keep your computer and your information safe," Apple's What's New page for Safari states.
Safari 5.1 isn't just about security related updates and features, it also contains a number of new non-security features as well. One of them is the Safari Reading List, which has been billed by some as an Instapaper killer. Instapaper is an online service that lets users save websites to read later, which is what the...
