[gHacks technology news, Software And Internet Tips For The Geek In You] Adobe Still Offering Insecure Adobe Reader Version: It is quite possible the Java interface is now OK, which would explain Adobe’s rush to issue Adobe Reader 9.3.1 prior to their regular update cycle (believe it is monthly) because it would make them look better, if I am correct in my thinking. By the way, Adobe did a quick re-issue of Flash Player 100452 at the same time, possibly for a similar reason (the Flash Player has the same number as one issued a few days earlier, but the file size is different).

[John Nack on Adobe] John Nack on Adobe : YouTube talks Flash and HTML5: The really annoying thing though is that Flash only announced support for VP8, not WebM. I was hoping they would support the whole WebM format so that I could Flash as a single fallback mechanism for HTML5 content.

[Create Free Blog - Atblogs] adobe software issues: Android: Flash's arrival on Android was last week's notable news, but slipped in under the radar was the free release of an Adobe Reader for Google-powered smartphones. It offers to read PDFs with pinch-style zooming, and it does just that.

[CNET News.com] Flash arrives in Google's Chrome browser | Deep Tech - CNET News: I'm all for development and advancement in personal computing - but blaming Flash for everything is just a poor excuse - and the removal of flash completely from the current web experience makes it poorer, i'm sure many would agree. You should consider too that many people have work and provide for their families by developing Flash in many forms - and this current flame war against it from Mr.Jobs isn't really just about future advancement and stability - but also a major way to dominate and reap more profits from their own form of advertising, without their former reliance on Google.

F-Secure said the increase is “primarily because there has been more vulnerabilities in Adobe Acrobat/Reader than in the Microsoft Office applications.”

[bit-tech.net Feed] Adobe warns of Flash, Acrobat attack | bit-tech.net: That's what I meant by 'so-to-speak', there is a vulnerability in Flash but it's dependent on other more important conditions before it can be properly exploited, it's entirely to do with the integration of Flash and Acrobat and the way that Acrobat handles Flash files.
