Software major Adobe has hit back at Apple over the latter's refusal to allow its widely used Flash video product to run on smartphone iPhone and tablet computer iPad, says a media report.

According to The Times, Adobe placed advertisements on popular technology websites and in major United States newspapers responding to Apple chief executive Steve Jobs' criticism of Adobe technology.

Jobs has entered into a public spat with Adobe last month with scathing remarks on its Flash video programming technology. He said that it caused Apple products to crash and drained their battery life.

The report said Adobe displayed in the ad 'we (heart) Apple'. It further hit back with an ad campaign saying 'What we don't love is anybody taking away your freedom to choose what you create, how you create it, and what you experience on the web'.More...

Five hidden dangers of Facebooking

by Guest 5/14/2010 11:42:00 PM

An expert in online privacy has drawn attention to the five dangers of sharing information on social networking site Facebook.

Joan Goodchild, senior editor of CSO (Chief Security Officer) Online, claims marketing efforts by the company often results in a compromise on account holders’ privacy, reports CBS News.

Goodchild noted five risks of using Facebook on ‘The Early Show on Saturday Morning.’ They are:

1. Your information is being shared with third parties

2. Privacy settings revert to a less safe default mode after each redesign

3. Facebook ads may contain malware

4. Your real friends unknowingly make you vulnerable

5. Scammers are creating fake profiles

Earlier this week, 15 privacy and consumer protection organizations filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission, alleging that the site manipulates privacy settings to make users personal information available for commercial use.
