Great cast guys — I think I like having a handful of topics covered in detail rather than a quick news segment followed by a feature topic. I did notice you’ve not included any reference material on Safari in your show notes, any reason why?

Well spotted, Shayne! I’ve added the links for Safari 4.

Just a little bit of a follow up to the story about Adobe. Brad had mentioned using Foxit Reader and apparently it has some security issues as well: http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9129264
From the way that article reads, there is a fix out for the issues.

I disagree with the above remark. I think in these tough economic times we need to rethink our old ways of thinking. For more information visit http://www.alaskapersonalinjurylawyer.net
