Another major new capability in Joomla 1.6 is the Access Control Level system for managing rights and permissions within the system. This isn't exactly a revolutionary improvement, as many CMS products, especially on the commercial side, have long had very capable access control systems built-in.

A flaw in the web server components of the free Mono .NET clone potentially allows ASP.NET applications to supply source code or other files from the web server's application directory. Mono 2.8.2 fixes this as yet unexplained bug. Affected components on the project's vulnerability list include the XSP web server and the mod_mono Apache module. Both of these execute ASP.NET code.

New York: Researchers at Mocana are being troubled with their recent discovery of an easy way of hacking into a best-selling internet-ready HDTV model. The security technology company in San Francisco easily discovered a loop hole in the software that shows Web sites on the TV and used that as an opportunity in order to gain a control on the information being sent to the television.

It's no longer enough for antivirus software to scan files on your PC. You need someone looking over your shoulder and telling you whether it's safe to click that link; whether the popup for that software update is legitimate; and whether that download from your favorite social network is actually a tool created by organized criminals for stealing your personal information. You need an all-in-one Internet security suite capable of identifying, blocking, and cleaning up after a wide array of malware.

Microsoft kills Office anti-piracy program

Microsoft kills Office anti-piracy program

Not a Linux article, but important nonetheless. This seems to show that money can't be made with closed-source software any longer. Even with the best protection, it doesn't keep people from sharing it. Microsoft last week killed an anti-piracy service that checked whether customers were running legal copies of Office, saying that the program had "served its purpose." ZDNet blogger Ed Bott first reported on Microsoft's move after a tipster pointed him toward a support document on the company's site.

There's a cartoon that made the rounds in the Linux community a few years back that I often think of at this time of year. In essence, it depicts a Linux aficionado refusing to help convince someone to switch to Linux, explaining, "If everyone's using it, I'm not cool anymore."

It's time to embrace software's auto-update era

Driven by Google and like-minded software makers, a new era is dawning in which your software is constantly refreshed--often without any intervention on your part at all. Depending on how you see things, that could be either a scary loss of control over your own computer or a boon to convenience and security. Either way, the practice is increasingly common.

By now, you may have seen the latest promo for the upcoming Chrome notebook. Advocating the advantages of the cloud-based Chrome OS, the video is mildly amusing and largely irrelevant -- a case at least as strong could be made for preferring locally-installed applications, and I suspect that what people really want to see are close-ups of Chrome OS.

The WordPress development team has released version 3.0.3 of the popular open source blogging and publishing platform, a security update for the 3.0.x branch of WordPress. According to the developers, the update addresses a privilege escalation issue in the remote publishing interface that, under certain circumstances, could have allowed Author and Contributor-level users to improperly edit, publish or delete posts.
