Today, Adobe hopes to fix all that, rolling out Photoshop Express, its free, web-based photo editor. The flash-based editor gives point-and-clickers a quick, easy way to eliminate red eye, smooth over blemishes, and otherwise mess around, CNet reports. More »

      Flash Attack Could Turn Routers Into Zombies

      (Newser) - Security experts have demonstrated how attackers could use Flash software and the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) protocol to hijack their home routers, reports PC World . Users exposed to a malicious Flash file could have the servers they're trying to reach changed remotely and secretly, meaning a fraudster could redirect the user to phony bank or e-commerce websites even if they typed the right address into their browser.

      PDFs Will Soon Have Ads, Thanks to Yahoo, Adobe

      (Newser) - Yahoo has teamed up with Adobe to nestle pay-per-click ads into PDF documents, CNET reports. Functioning a lot like Google’s text ads, they’ll be dynamic and key-word matched, so they can change at any time, but should stay relevant. Don’t worry, they won’t appear on all PDFs—only when publishers ask Yahoo to put them there More »
