Well, you can visit gotofail.com using Opera and run the test to see what it tells you. If you got the latest Mavericks update, or you aren't running Mavericks then you are all set anyway.

Apple Releases OS X 10.9.2 With Fix for Major SSL Vulnerability, FaceTime Audio

Thanks! Yeah, I did get the update and did check the gotofail site. I was just wondering about having used Opera while I was still on the old Mavericks OS. I read that using Safari would have put you at a higher risk but using Chrome or Firefox would have been better. I hope my question is clear... I am just wondering if Opera would share the same risk as Safari? Thank you for your reply!
Yes, I've had it several other times since, always when a FaceTime connection is being made and the call is answered (audio only or video, doesn't matter).
Prior to 10.9.2, I've always had issues with FaceTime where the first call can screw up and the video and audio stutters. I'm forced to hang up and call again for the connection to be a good one, but I know it's not an internet issue as it will stutter forever until I hang up and call again.
Now it seems with this update, instead of a laggy FaceTime call the whole system is brought down instead. This KP only occurs when the FaceTime call glitches as described above.
Did that. Keep getting random KPs with FaceTime once in a while. I used to have stuttering problems with FaceTime before and I'd be forced to hang up and try again to fix the issue. Now it seems instead of stuttering, I get KPs with this new update. Only happens when the FaceTime call glitches (I can tell because right before the KP I can hear the stuttering just as the call is answered). When I'm lucky and the connection works fine the first time, no KP.
This simply isn't true. Hatters may have to be mad, but there's no historical evidence suggesting they have to hate.
Still have a problem with firewall
Still am asked everytime I start Jbidwatcher if it is ok, even though it is in the list. I deleted it from the list and OS X added it after asking AGAIN!
Problem is: Still asks everytime I start it, if it is ok. Something in the firewall logic is still busted.

OS X v10.9.2 wont search or index CD / DVD drive
Ever since the update to OS X v10.9.2, Spotlight and Finder WILL NOT search or index my CD/DVD drive. I have a 2012 model Macbook Pro. The local Apple store in Cerritos, CA looked at it and agreed it's a bug in the OS. Two techs at the Genius bar confirmed on two other Macbook Pro's with v10.9.2 that this version has the same bug. When temporarily booting mine to v10.8, CD searching and indexing worked fine. Same with other machines that they had there with v10.8.
Is Apple addressing this bug, or are they even aware of it yet?

Cohenmatt: I did. just wanted to get it out there to make people aware that they lost something they might not be aware of yet.
In my case, after disabling the displaylink driver for my external USB/DVI video card, I was able to get everything to work smoothly.
Animations still get choppy just after a couple of days of using the Mac (Changing spaces and Mission Control). Was hoping for a fix in 10.9.2 but it didn't work. Like before, only a restart fixes the problem temporarily. I'm on a Macbook Pro 13" mid-2010.
Anyone else having this issue on the same Macbook model?
No sign of that here on my 2012 Mac Mini. I never saw it on my 2008 MBP with prior versions either (I put 10.9.2 on the 2008 Macbook Pro but I haven't played with it enough to know for sure). It might be a issue with a specific GPU driver (i.e. my MBP has Nvidia 8600M GT and the Mini has the newer Intel HD4000).

That happens with XBMC here all the time (all versions).
10.9.2 audio problem solved
Dear collegues. I am a musician and electronic music teacher. I had for about one year a plaguing problem with my iMac 27" late 2009 quad-core i7.
It has been discussed many times over the net as an "audio stutter" and "CPU Spike" problem and was very often linked to my iMac model:
Basically after some hours or minutes of use and more often after a sleep recover, my CPU was spiking during audio playback in DAW software (Mostly Pro Tools 11, but also Cubase and other platform) and the audio was stuttering and distorted, often resulting in playback stop with Buffer errors.
The problem was already present in 10.8 but was not present in 10.6. I thought that the OS upgrade could just be a coincidence and that it could be a hardware problem. The Apple Hardware Test found no problem in hardware but the malfunctioning was constant.
I remember in the update list for 10.8.4 and 10.8.5 already mentioned a generic "Audio problem" correction, but the situation remained the same. Also the internet forum were full of people complaining about the problem still remaining.
I was about to sell my iMac for a Windows computer then i noticed the 10.9.2 upgrade yesterday morning. BAM! The problem is over. I had renounced to my iMac as audio computer for 6-8 months cause it was impossible to work with audio (i just used for internet and generic use) and now happily my computer is working perfectly as it did with 10.6.8.
NOW WHAT I WANT TO KONW POSSIBLY is: What was exactly the problem?
In the update list there is just a generic :
Fixes an issue that may cause audio distortion on certain Macs "
I think WE HAVE THE RIGHT OF A COMPLETE KNOWLEDGE of what is causing problem to our system, as it is for a small professional a matter also of budget and critical reliability. I am also a teacher so i find very ethical to be able to explain to my students where the problems come from and not just tell them "let's hope that Apple will find a fix sooner next time....". I believe it's a matter of user responsibility and of professional relationship between Apple and its customers to have the possibility to access a detailed technical description of bugs. I hope there's no intellectual property problems into this open and responsible customer care.
SO Basically, anybody knows how i can get some technical information on what the audio problem that plagued the iMac systems for over an year was?
Thanks for the help!

how do you ask apple?
thanks, that's the main info i look for. sorry i did not focus on that very well
I've got a question. If you use DAWs so much, etc. why are you using the Mac's own audio output? Or did you have this problem with an external audio box? I ask because something like a ProSonus isn't very expensive and gives you multiple-channel input including balanced inputs, etc. and its own output separate from the Mac's (there's much better models out there with everything under the sun including built-in midi, digital in/out, etc.). I made my own album with Logic Pro and I never touched my Macbook Pro's own audio output. Perhaps you could have avoided the problem long ago?
You have bad data/corrupt data, a bad/corrupt filesystem, or both. Erase and install.
I am updating my late 2011 macbook pro from 10.9.1 to 10.9.2 it's been stuck on Installing Software Update and hasn't moved at all. It's been over an hour. What should i do?
