Last night, Google unveiled the latest component of Google Docs, the long-awaited presentation component of its free, online office application suite. Like the word processing and spreadsheet components of Google Docs, Presentations are stored online and can be worked on collaboratively by a number of users at the same time.

As is the case with Documents and Spreadsheets, users can e-mail and upload documents to edit online. While Documents supports HTML, rich text, plain text, Word, OpenOffice.org, and StarOffice files, Presentations can only handle presentations created in PowerPoint, and those have to be under 10MB in size.

Running Firefox or Opera as a default browser won’t save you from unpatched Internet Explorer vulnerabilities—a fact made explicit when a researcher showed how easy it is to put HTML inside files supported by Windows Media Player.

Researcher Petko D. Petkov said in a Sept. 18 blog posting that he’s found that a fully patched Windows XP Service Pack 2 system running Internet Explorer 6 or 7 along with Windows Media Player 9—the default, although the media player is now up to Version 11—will open any page of an attacker’s choice even if the default browser is not Internet Explorer.

The broader implication is that even users who think they’re safe because they don’t run IE are exposed to any IE vulnerabilities out there, Petkov said. This is true not only for Windows Media Player users but also for those who run Skype, GTalk and AIM, given that those applications all use IE for rendering incoming and outgoing messages, he told eWEEK in an e-mail.

WARISAN bangsa sewajarnya dipertahankan, dijaga dan kemudiannya diwarisi dari satu generasi ke satu generasi.

Namun bila berbicara mengenai warisan, fokus kita lebih tertumpu kepada objek yang jelas pada pandangan, sedangkan apa yang diperturunkan oleh nenek moyang terdahulu sangat luas dan pelbagai.

Mengambil contoh cerita rakyat, hikayat dan penglipur lara, berapa ramai daripada kita yang masih ingat mengenai kisah kegagahan Badang, kepintaran Sang Kancil atau sifat bodoh alang Pak Pandir dan Pak Kaduk?

Jauh sekali untuk ditanya kepada generasi muda hari ini siapa Hang Nadim, Walinong Sari atau Sita Dewi kerana mereka lebih kenal Superman, Batman, Snow White, Doraemon atau Pokemon.

Since the iPod Nano’s inception, the only thing it ever really lacked was video — something that didn’t mesh with the iTunes Store’s commitment to TV shows and film downloads.

Sporting a bright, two-inch widescreen that shows video in the highest pixel-per-inch density of any iPod, the Nano is an entirely new beast.

The flash player, available in 4GB and 8GB capacities, is wider than previous models, which might seem to go against the whole concept of the product.

Held next to a second generation Nano, however, the widened dimensions don’t seem to matter. In fact, a beautiful screen and just-as-thin body make the device seem like a large evolutionary step.
