Adobe apologizes for 16-month-old Flash bug
Adobe apologized over the weekend for letting a 16-month-old bug in Flash Player languish without a patch, even though it updated the popular plug-in four times since the flaw was reported.
The bug has been fixed, said Adobe, in the beta of Flash Player 10.1, which was released last November. The final version of Flash Player 10.1, however, will not ship until later this year.
Security researcher Matthew Dempsey first reported the Flash vulnerability Sept. 22, 2008, according to Adobe's public bug tracking database. When exploited, the flaw causes any browser equipped with Flash Player 9 and later to crash.

Favorite Super Bowl ad
With all of the chatter over the past 24 hours about Google's rumored first Super Bowl commercial, I decided to go back into the archive and dig out this little gem from 2001. As I noted last year, this E-Trade ad of a monkey riding a horse through a dot-com wasteland is one of my all time favorite.
