Convict Photoshops pix of him doing charity work in hope of a lighter prison term

It didn't work. The judge and prosecutors noticed that a second photo was the same photo of the guy as the first, only reversed left to right. There was printing on his shirt which was plainly reversed.

The idiot also forged letters from charities thanking him for his help and stuff.

He was convicted of multiple fraud charges and jumping bail while on parole, he's going away for 24+ years.

Adobe FINALLY putting Acrobat Reader in to a sandbox!

Coming later this year, and it might only be sandboxed for Windows XP and above, it will do a better job of preventing malicious code from launching from within a malicious PDF. It will not be back-ported to older versions of Reader.

"“This will help us protect against most of the attacks we’re seeing today. The attacker will end up in a sandbox and will need a second attack to escape to do [dangerous things].” Arkin said.

Arkin made it clear that sandboxes are not guaranteed bulletproof perfect. It will not protect users against all types of security attacks such as phishing, clickjacking, weak cryptography or unauthorized network access."

I'm curious if they're going to apply this to Mac/*nix, or whether that is needed.
