Adobe Reader Security Issue

One of my colleagues just sent me information about a security issue with Adobe Reader.


 

According to this post on the Adobe site (http://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa09-01.html) there is a serious vulnerability in Acrobat Reader, the software used to open and read PDFs. Adobe is aware of it but is not planning on releasing a patch until mid-March.


 

My colleague suggests that you try another reader program such as Foxit Reader @ http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php

Wii as a Smart Board

One of my workshop partcipants Gregory Puccetti showed me this video recently. I have not yet purchased this set-up but plan to do so shortly and will write about my experience using in the near future.
