And then I remembered, dimly, that it does -- sort of. When XP came

that sounds just like what the OS X Keychain does. On XP, you get to

07/22/2004 02:31 AMGizmodo has the scoop on a line of Gundam-branded USB keychain drives.
To appeal to the "maniacs" (Japanese for "someone who knows too
much,") IO Data has included two features for collectors of the drives
- and I'm not making this up - by installing the included "Cute"
software, your desktop wallpaper will automatically change to a
corresponding Gundam wallpaper. When you take it out, it will go back
to normal. The second feature is the screensaver, which when you
purchase and use more than one of these drives, will add the
respective characters to the ensuing action. You too can engage in
intergalactic space combat for about $55 USD for a USB 2.0 mecha, or
$45 for a USB 1.1 mecha.

"Spin" is a

even three different display modes, including an 'analog' mode that
displays a highlighted arc of the circle, with the leading edge
indicating the current hour and the trailing edge indicating
minutes.
There is talk of this design being picked up and mass produced by a
couple of different companies; make that happen, boys, because I want

Adobe releases patches for Acrobat and

06/17/2005 03:18 PMAdobe Systems on Wednesday rolled out patches for security
vulnerabilities found in Adobe Reader 7.0 and 7.0.1, and in Adobe
Acrobat 7.0 and 7.0.1.
The hole in the products, referred to as an XML External Entity
vulnerability, under certain circumstances allows XML scripts to be
used to discover a user's local files.
According to Adobe officials, the vulnerability is within the Adobe
Reader control. If an XML script is embedded in JavaScript, it is
possible to discover the existence of local files, according to a
security advisory from the company. An attacker could then maliciously
use the gathered information. But the statement pointed out that the
local files can be found only if the attacker knows the complete file
names and paths in advance of such an attack.
The vulnerability impacts Acrobat and Reader running on Windows and
Mac platforms.
Adobe recommends that Reader and Acrobat for Windows customers
download the updates provided on the Adobe Web site
here.
The company said it will release an update for the Mac OS versions
shortly. Until the Mac patch is available, Adobe advises end-users to
disable any Acrobat JavaScript. This should protect systems from the
vulnerability.
