Great free software: |
Mon, 13 Jun 2005 In honor of MJ's verdict, some silliness. Warning: really big file (35MB). ZDNet is reporting that the software maker has warned. A security vulnerability in the Adobe License Management Service, a component used for product activation, "can lead to an unauthorized person gaining access to the user's computer," Adobe said in a security advisory posted to its Web site late last week. That's not DRM per se, but it is an attempt to keep people from doing something with their PCs that Adobe doesn't want them to do, and it turns out it's potentially dangerous. This isn't as bad (yet) as TurboTax's DRM fiasco, but it's still a stupid way to get people to not steal your software. Especially because odds are someone will beat it like Michael Jackson. Unfortunate product names: Scooby-Doo Where's the Bone Boxer Shorts for children Insert Michael Jackson joke here.
Digicam and Photo Printer, $199.90
Olympus D-580 Digital Camera w/ P10 Photo Printer, $199.90 ($100 off). Good deal, although the camera uses xD cards, which is one of the few types of memory card I don't already own. |
