YouTube in HD, Firefox Tops Security Risk List

    Here are some interesting links from today:

  • Firefox Tops Business Security Risk List
    The list this year expanded to include 12 applications, up from 10 last year, due to the increase in vulnerabilities and the popularity of applications such as Skype and Yahoo! Assistant that are often used by employees within an enterprise.

    Five of the top 12 applications with known vulnerabilities include:

    - Mozilla Firefox, versions 2.x and 3.x
    - Adobe Acrobat, versions 8.1.2 and 8.1.1
    - Microsoft Windows Live (MSN) Messenger, versions 4.7 and 5.1
    - Apple iTunes, versions 3.2 and 3.1.2
    - Skype, version 3.5.0.248

  • YouTube Finally Embraces HD
    YouTube has just launched a new portion of its site dedicated to HD content, allowing users to easily browse through what is now the largest archive of high definition content on the web. The move has been a long time coming – in the last few weeks the site has been gradually building up to a large scale HD launch with the introduction of a 16:9 video player and the ability to watch HD on selected videos, but until this point it has been difficult to separate the HD content from videos encoded at YouTube’s normal resolution.
