Adobe changes tune on CS5 updates, won’t seek paid CS6 upgrade to patch vulnerabilities

Here are the latest reports on Adobe changes tune on CS5 updates, won’t seek paid CS6 upgrade to patch vulnerabilities
Things have gotten interesting in the world of CS updates. Recently, Computerworld reported that Adobe had informed folks using an older version of its famed Creative Suite — CS5 and CS5.5, to be exact — they’d have to shell out the CS6 upgrade fee in order to get a fix for some recently discovered bugs. Apparently, Adobe took notice to its customers’ dissatisfaction and updated its initial blog post with a changed tune, stating, “We are in the process of resolving these vulnerabilities in Adobe Photoshop CS5.x, and will update this Security Bulletin once the patch is available.” The same is true for both Illustrator and Flash. This kerfuffle started after Adobe handed out warnings for eight “critical” vulnerabilities found in certain versions of the three applications — some of which are said to be exploitable and could potentially be used to “take control of the affected system.” We’ll see how it all plays out over the upcoming days, but in the meantime hit the links below to see if you need to take any action.

Valve employee spills the hardware beans: wearable computers, ahoy

Here are the latest reports on Valve employee spills the hardware beans: wearable computers, ahoy
When Michael Abrash started working for Valve, he expected the higher-ups to hand him a pile of work and tell him to hop to it. They didn’t. Instead, he was told to figure out the most valuable thing he could do for the company, and then do it. So, Abrash wound up kicking off an in-house R&D project for wearable computers, and according to a recent blog post, is looking to expand his research team. More than me-too mice and gamepads, indeed. Abrash is quick to put a lid on rumors of “Steam glasses,” however, and warns readers not to expect any big reveals at E3 — this is just an “initial investigation into a very interesting and promising space,” he says, and is more “research than development.” Rearing to give Google’s Project Glass a run for its money? Or maybe you’re just itching for a detailed narrative of employee and employer? Either way, you’ll find what you’re looking at the source link below.

US Navy LASR research facility builds robots, not ray guns

Here are the latest reports on US Navy LASR research facility builds robots, not ray guns
The US Navy announced a new robotics research facility this week located within the existing Naval Research Laboratory’s main site in Washington D.C. The Laboratory for Autonomous Systems Research, or LASR, was created to support NRL research in “robotics and autonomous systems of interest to the Navy, the Marine Corps and the Department of Defense,” wrote LASR director Alan C. Shultz, mentioning that a familiar sounding autonomous firefighting robot would be among the lab’s projects. The new facility is kitted out with a litany of realistic environmental simulation bays, allowing NRL scientists to pit their research against the elements with ease. Researchers will also have access to machine shops stocked with 3D printers and other goodies, a power and energy lab, a sensor lab and what Shultz calls the “world’s largest space for real-time motion capture.” Sounds great, at least as long as the research projects never get ahold of a certain Navy-funded AI report. Check out Shultz’ official statement at the White House blog link below.

Users can also do the same basic functions like add / remove / rate channels, control playback, and control multiple Rokus. Hit the Android Market at the link below to snag the free app for yourself or head over to Roku’s blog to let it know if this is truly better than the numerous unofficial apps already available.

Samsung Galaxy Note coming to Bell, Rogers and Telus in February

Here are the latest reports on Samsung Galaxy Note coming to Bell, Rogers and Telus in February
Those of you who seem to be more closely connected to the Maple Leaf than the pine needle might’ve jumped on the envious side at the news that folks across the border are getting their hands on the LTE Galaxy Note. Envy no more. Via blog post, Rogers has announced that Samsung’s “phablet” creation will be surfing through its fresh 4G waves in the upcoming month. Aside from the Rogers branding we expect to see, it’ll be hard to distinguish this Note from its AT&T brother, as it’ll be identical in the specs department. Based on a page thrown up at Best Buy Canada, it looks as if it’ll sell for $249.99 on a three-year contract (with Bell and Telus getting in on the fun, too), with the first of ‘em shipping out on Valentine’s Day. Desperate to be the first to try and fit this in your pocket? Head on to the source to join the carrier’s reservation system.
