The report is available for download.

Some findings:

Vulnerabilities in applications continued to account for a large number of vulnerabilities as opposed to OS and Browser vulnerabilities.
Exploitation of Java vulnerabilities had sharply increased in the second quarter of 2010 and has surpassed every other exploitation category.
The number of Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader vulnerabilities had reduced by more than half at the end of the first quarter of 2010 and remained nearly consistent at this level for the remainder of 2010.

The Ambiguity of “Open” and VP8 vs. H.264

by: admin - January 18th, 2011 Filed under: Movies, Music, Tech News Add Comment

Google has recently announced their intention to remove the H.264 video codec from its Chrome browser. This decision has been smeared as an evil campaign for controlling video on the web, akin to not-invented-here syndrome. It’s also been lauded as the push that the web needs to remain open and free. Mostly, it’s been marked as inconsistent, due to the bundling of Adobe’s proprietary Flash player.

Richard Stallman doesn’t like the term Open Source because it fails to embody the true meaning of “free software”, and the one thing that’s worse is the word “open”. This debate can’t simply be labeled as one for or against openness (even ignoring the technical details).

H.264 is an open standard. It was developed by a committee, standardized, reviewed by many engineers and developers for multiple companies and has been standardized for use with a multitude of containers and devices. However, H.264 is not royalty free. Software patents in many countries restrict the distribution of software that utilizes the codec to those who pay the MPEG-LA.
