Microsoft Word, Outlook vulnerabilities identified. "Hidden fields give attacker access to hard disk" [InfoWorld] Not a day goes by without a couple of MS security problems discovered. Should Microsoft copyright the term "miss-security"?

Snood (Beta) Released For OS X. [via MacSlash] At one point I was addicted to the Mac OS version of this little game. Have to check it the game still feels the same.

Microsoft Word Security Flaw allows file theft. [CNN via Slashdot] This is suprising - Word 97 has been available so long that the serious bugs should have been discovered and corrected already. It is not too suprising that Microsoft will only repair the newer versions of the software, not Word 97.

Wired tells about Digital Rights Outlook: Squishy. There seems to emerge a softer kind of Digital Rights Management (DRM) approach, which would not be centrally controlled like the Microsoft solution. I hope the consumers and the hardware vendors unite against the big media companies to make a more open and fair system.
