Flash Cookies: The Silent Privacy Killer
,----[ Quote ]
| Looking at my list, I see over 100 websites that have been accessing the same
| cookie for the last year (the last time I formatted my computer). Some of
| them are storing only 1kb of information, some are storing the full 100 kb’s.
| On my own computer, I see that my bank is storing flash information despite
| the fact that there isn’t a single flash application visible when I log in to
| check my balance. I see Youtube, CNN, Microsoft, Rotten Tomatoes and a ton
| more!

| update repository since such package management should resolve the new
| dependencies needed for Flash Player 10.

Adobe Pushes DRM for Flash
,----[ Quote ]
| Now Adobe, which controls Flash and Flash Video, is trying to change that
| with the introduction of DRM restrictions in version 9 of its Flash Player
| and version 3 of its Flash Media Server software. Instead of an ordinary web
| download, these programs can use a proprietary, secret Adobe protocol to talk
| to each other, encrypting the communication and locking out non-Adobe
| software players and video tools. We imagine that Adobe has no illusions that
| this will stop copyright infringement -- any more than dozens of other DRM
| systems have done so -- but the introduction of encryption does give Adobe
| and its customers a powerful new legal weapon against competitors and
| ordinary users through the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

Nobody likes DRM, including attorneys for Microsoft, Real
,----[ Quote ]
| At this week's Digital Music Forum, lawyers managing digital rights for
| Microsoft's Zune music download site and RealNetworks' Rhapsody said that
| they too believe digital rights management to be more of a headache than an
| asset.

For Adobe, a tough lesson in (open-source) diplomacy
,----[ Quote ]
| The brouhaha had to be painful for Adobe, a community-friendly company that
| likes to think of itself as a kinder, gentler outfit than arch-rival
| Microsoft . But here Adobe was, accused of using its overwhelming position in
| PDF software to make money at the expense of smaller companies -- the very
| sort of behavior that earned Microsoft a bad rap in Silicon Valley.
