Last-minute pre-Pwnium Chrome update closes numerous holes

Google’s Pwnium Three contest has a prize fund of $3.14159 million. You can win a maximum of $150,000 at a time for each compromise. To scoop the entire almost-pi-million dollars youd need to come up with more than twenty different holes. Google closed the door on a number of high-severity bugs just two days before the competition. The prize fund is for compromises with persistence, meaning they survive between browser sessions and even between reboots.”]
