Adobe security flaw

In brief: A security flaw has surfaced in Adobe's Version Cue software that can result in a disabled firewall, and the previous owner of babelcompany.com reports that the user who managed to obtain the domain name babelcompany.com has removed his copyrighted content as well as any misleading references to Impression. Speck is giving away a free ToughSkin to customers who order at least $20 worth of merchandise, and Aquafadas has released two new themes for Pulpmotion titled TimeMachine and Bouncing. Adobe Version Cue disables the Mac OS X personal firewall to set up certain ports that allow controlled access through the firewall service during installation on a Mac system. Unfortunately the firewall is not re-enabled once the setup is complete, according to one security tracking service, leaving certain systems open to attack.

Babelcompany.com domain war

The previous owner of babelcompany.com tells MacNN that "due to a series of unfortunate recent circumstances I've had another registrant acquire the babelcompany.com domain name from me during the domain renewal process." The user is currently working to resolve the issue with Network Solutions, and says that the new domain owner has complied with his request to remove copyrighted content from the site as well as other misleading references to Impression. The domain name, however, is no longer controlled by Impression's owner Stephen Elliott.

Speck offer, Aquafadas themes

Speck Products is giving away free ToughSkins for iPod or iPod nano to customers who purchase at least $20 worth of merchandise, enabling accessory shoppers to enter a coupon code at checkout for a free protective cover to cash in on the offer.... Aquafadas has released two new themes for Pulpmotion titled TimeMachine and Bouncing; the TimeMachine theme enables users to visualize images as well as videos in a Leopard-like manner, while Bouncing aims to "put some spring" into slideshows.
