Hasta La Gadget!

Hey, Adobe’s finally figured out how to make Flash secure — have Google do it! The guys behind your favorite search engine have updated their latest Dev channel release of Chrome to include a new sandboxing facility for Flash Player content. It’ll serve to limit access to sensitive system resources and make Flash’s operation a generally less threatening proposition than it currently is. This also marks the fulfillment of a longstanding promise from Google to give Flash the same treatment it’s afforded to JavaScript and HTML rendering for a while, and should be welcome news to Windows users eager to minimize “the potential attack surface” of their browser. Sorry, Mac fans, you’re out in the unsecured cold for now. Of course, the Dev channel itself is one step less refined than beta software, so even if you’re on Windows it might be advisable to wait it out a little bit.

By now, you’re certainly familiar with the magic that a consumer-branded Casio super-slow-mo camera can do with motion, right? But what happens when you use a two-year old Casio Exilim FH20 to shoot 210fps footage (played back at 30fps) from a moving train? Nothing, at least until the train slows down.

We’re not totally sure that Android 2.1 users will be happy to be bundled in with 2.2 consumers — after all, there’s plenty in Froyo that’s not available on Eclair — but the fact remains that a cool 83 percent of actively used Android phones right now run one of the two latest iterations. A reminder is merited to say that by “active” we mean those that accessed the Android Market over the foregoing two weeks — which might have a slight bias toward over-representing the newer phones with folks either abandoning their Cupcake and Donut handsets or simply not searching for new apps for them. Either way, we reckon it’s good to see such nice big slices taken up by Android’s most advanced versions, it seems almost a shame that Gingerbread’s arrival will soon disrupt things all over again. For now, we’re off to our delicatessen, all this food talk’s given us the munchies.

[Thanks, Dan]

I was just reading through the forums for NOD32 and noticed that Eset released a Beta version of their popular antivirus software. The big thing with this version is that it is now Vista compatible…but it also has some cool new features!

• Full Microsoft Windows Vista 32/64-bit compatibility
• New Anti-Stealth technology against active rootkits
• New category for unwanted applications
• Improved cleaning of already infected systems

I’ve got it up and running as you can see in the screenshot above but if you don’t have a valid username/password it will only function as a 30-day trial. I haven’t had a chance to do a system scan yet to compare it to previous versions but I am happy to see the extra protection that will be provided.

Eset is also working on a security suite that should be available before Vista is released to consumers. The suite will not only protect you with their world-class antivirus but it will also serve as a firewall and spam protector. That is something I’m sure a lot of people would like to have from Eset.

I’m debating on picking up one of the NOD32 licenses which cost $39. That isn’t too bad but I would probably need 3 of them to cover my primary computers, and that will run me $82. I think that I’ll just wait until the suite is released and then I can see what kind of pricing they have for that.
