Adobe hacked

The eyebrow-raising hack effectively gave the attackers the ability to create malware masquerading as legitimate Adobe software and signals a raising of the stakes in the world of Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs).

How to delete offensive comments on your YouTube content

This isn't a Windows issue, per se, but it's something that may happen to you as you participate in the digital world via your Windows PC. YouTube provides a great way to share your videos with the world but sometimes the world can be a pretty obnoxious place. Most of the comments I've gotten on the videos I share there were friendly or at least neutral, but occasionally someone will post something that goes beyond disagreeable.

If someone decides to spew obscenities in the comments section of one of your posts, you probably don't want those comments to be there when your mom, kids or boss drop in to check out your movie. Dave Taylor shows you how to remove offensive YouTube comments in a recent installment of his blog.

Hubble Ultra Deep Field

Image001

It doesn't look like much, does it? Just a boring collection of dots and smudges like the ones you've seen in every science book you've ever picked up. But there's a reason why this one is special, and if you don't have a bandwidth cap with your Internet provider, it would help you understand the magnitude and importance if you got the original 110 MB file.

See, back in 2004, scientists decided to point Hubble at a patch of sky that was pure black. No stars. No galaxies. Just black. They left the lens open for a little over 11 days to capture as much light as possible, because the more light a telescope captures, the clearer the image is. What we got was that image above ... only 6,200 pixels wide and just as tall. In other words ...

All of that, extracted from a pinpoint patch of empty, black sky. Every dot in that photo is a galaxy. Ten thousand of them. Every one of them previously unknown to us.
