which was controversial because many third-party products did rely on patching the kernel in order to function. It hardened services and drivers by requiring that they be signed, which was arguably a good thing. Worked more for data execution prevention, DEP. Also offered Address Space Layout Randomization, ASLR, where it would deliberately load the various subcomponents of Windows at random locations in order to make it harder for malware to jump to a specific location in the kernel, which was one of the approaches that malware depends upon, for example as part of an exploit using a buffer overrun.

Blackberry Comparison: Bold Vs Storm PDF Guide
Blackberry Bold The Bold, with its elegantly black exterior, satin chrome finish and leatherette-bound back is clearly a luxurious upgrade from its
predecessors, the Curve. The vivid 2.75-inch half-VGA resolution 480×320 pixel color display is also a noted upgrade, as it showcases both photos and videos brilliantly. Big, sharp, vivid, and bright do not do justice to the Bold’s screen. It easily outshines any screen on the market, including the iPhone, due to its resolution and pixel density.
Below the screen can be found the signature Blackberry trackball as well as the start, current menu, previous screen and stop buttons. The Bold’s lower half is equally impressive. The improved QWERTY keyboard, which is backlit for use with those late-night emails or text messages, eatures raised keys that afford the ability to type without looking at the pad. Like recent Blackberry models, the device also features two volume keys and a camera quick key on the right and a headphone jack, sync/charge jack/mini USB, and micro SD for storage on the left.
