WE NEED MORE THAN DEPLATFORMING

https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2021/01/08/we-need-more-than-deplatforming/


There is no question that social media played a role in the siege and take-over of the US Capitol on January 6.

Since then there has been significant focus on the deplatforming of President Donald Trump. By all means the question of when to deplatform a head of state is a critical one, among many that must be addressed. When should platforms make these decisions? Is that decision-making power theirs alone?

But as reprehensible as the actions of Donald Trump are, the rampant use of the internet to foment violence and hate, and reinforce white supremacy is about more than any one personality. Donald Trump is certainly not the first politician to exploit the architecture of the internet in this way, and he won’t be the last. We need solutions that don’t start after untold damage has been done.

Changing these dangerous dynamics requires more than just the temporary silencing or permanent removal of bad actors from social media platforms.
Additional precise and specific actions must also be taken:  

Reveal who is paying for advertisements, how much they are paying and who is being targeted.

Commit to meaningful transparency of platform algorithms so we know how and what content is being amplified, to whom, and the associated impact.

Turn on by default the tools to amplify factual voices over disinformation.

Work with independent researchers to facilitate in-depth studies of the platforms’ impact on people and our societies, and what we can do to improve things.

These are actions the platforms can and should commit to today.

The answer is not to do away with the internet, but to build a better one that can withstand and gird against these types of challenges.

This is how we can begin to do that.

Η Apple κυκλοφόρησε το macOS Catalina τον Οκτώβριο του 2019, αλλά με αρκετά προβλήματα.

Ακολουθούν ορισμένοι παράγοντες που πρέπει να εξετάσετε πριν αποφασίσετε να αναβαθμίσετε τα Macs της Εταιρείας σας σε Catalina.

ΕΙΝΑΙ ΣΤΑΘΕΡΟ ΤΟ macOS Catalina;

Μία από τις πιο σημαντικές αλλαγές στην Catalina είναι η έλλειψη υποστήριξης για εφαρμογές 32 bit. Αυτό δεν επηρεάζει μόνο τα εμπορικά προϊόντα, όπως παλαιότερες εκδόσεις του 1Password, VMware Fusion, Microsoft Office, Parallels και QuickBooks, αλλά και εφαρμογές 32 bit business-to-business που μπορεί να χρησιμοποιούνται στην εταιρεία σας.

Εάν ο τεχνικός IT σας εγκαταστήσει το Catalina σε ένα σύστημα που περιλαμβάνει εφαρμογές 32 bit, αυτές οι εφαρμογές δεν θα λειτουργούν πλέον. Οι χρήστες θα πρέπει να κάνουν χωρίς αυτές ή η εταιρεία θα πρέπει να τις αντικαταστήσει με νεότερες. Ωστόσο, για κάποιες εφαρμογές παλαιές εμπορικές εφαρμογές, η αντικατάστασή τους δεν αποτελεί επιλογή επειδή δεν υπάρχουν διαθέσιμες ενημερώσεις.

Οποιοδήποτε από αυτά τα ζητήματα μπορεί να επηρεάσει αρκετά την παραγωγικότητα. Εάν η μόνη βιώσιμη επιλογή της εταιρείας είναι να συνεχίσει να χρησιμοποιεί τις εφαρμογές 32 bit, δεν πρέπει να αναβαθμίσετε στο Catalina μέχρι να είστε έτοιμοι να τις αντικαταστήσετε.

Τα προϊόντα της Adobe ήταν ένα από τα διασημότερα θύματα του Catalina. Ορισμένες παλαιότερες εκδόσεις του Photoshop, για παράδειγμα, εξακολουθούν να χρησιμοποιούν 32 bit τεχνολογία. Ακόμη και οι εφαρμογές του Creative Cloud 2018 περιέχουν ορισμένα από αυτά τα στοιχεία. Η Adobe συνιστά στους οργανισμούς να δοκιμάσουν πλήρως αυτά τα προϊόντα στο Catalina, για να διασφαλίσουν ότι όλα θα λειτουργούν όπως αναμενόταν.

Το Catalina μπορεί επίσης να επηρεάσει τα λογισμικά ασφαλείας. Για παράδειγμα, για να εκτελέσετε σωστά το Symantec Endpoint Protection, μπορείτε να χρησιμοποιήσετε μόνο την έκδοση 14.2 RU2 και για να εκτελέσετε το Sophos Endpoint, πρέπει να χρησιμοποιήσετε την έκδοση 9.9.4 ή νεότερη έκδοση. Λόγω της νέας δομής δικαιωμάτων, το λειτουργικό σύστημα δεν θα ειδοποιεί τους χρήστες σχετικά με θέματα που σχετίζονται απειλές σε επίπεδο συστήματος. Οι εταιρείες που επιθυμούν να αναβαθμίσουν σε Catalina θα πρέπει πρώτα να διασφαλίσουν ότι τα λογισμικά ασφαλείας τους είναι πλήρως συμβατά με το λειτουργικό σύστημα.

Μια ακόμη ανησυχία είναι πως το Catalina κατακλύζει τους χρήστες με προτροπές που σχετίζονται με δικαιώματα, απαιτώντας τους να αποδεχθούν ή να αρνηθούν δικαιώματα σε πολλές εφαρμογές. Αυτό μπορεί εύκολα να οδηγήσει σε κόπωση, όπου οι χρήστες απλώς αποδέχονται τα πάντα εξ αιτίας του μεγάλου αριθμού προτροπών. Αυτό το ζήτημα μπορεί επίσης να οδηγήσει τους χρήστες να ακυρώσουν κατά λάθος τα δικαιώματα σε ορισμένες εφαρμογές, εμποδίζοντας τις εφαρμογές αυτές να λειτουργούν σωστά.

Επιπλέον, η νέα δομή δικαιωμάτων μπορεί να δημιουργήσει πρόβλημα σε αυτοματοποιημένα scripts ή άλλα υπάρχοντα scripts, όπως Python ή AppleScript, που επηρεάζουν την παραγωγικότητα των χρηστών και των διαχειριστών. Ακόμη και οι πιο έμπειροι χρήστες θα μπορούσαν να πέσουν σε φαύλο κύκλου προσπαθώντας να αντιμετωπίσουν θέματα που σχετίζονται με δικαιώματα.

Πολλές άλλες ανησυχίες έχουν εγερθεί με το Catalina, όπως προβλήματα κατά την εγκατάσταση, λάθη σύνδεσης, κακή απόδοση και μικρότερη διάρκεια ζωής της μπαταρίας. Οι επαγγελματίες τεχνικοί πληροφορικής πρέπει να περιμένουν μέχρι το macOS Catalina να είναι πιο σταθερό πριν αναβαθμίσουν. Ακόμα και τότε, θα πρέπει να δοκιμάσουν πλήρως το λειτουργικό σύστημα για να βεβαιωθούν ότι θα υποστηρίξουν όλες τις εφαρμογές που χρησιμοποιούν για την άσκηση των δραστηριοτήτων της εκάστοτε επιχείρησης.

Ένα πολύ σημαντικό κενό ασφαλείας αποκαλύφθηκε πριν λίγες ημέρες.

Μερικές από τις εφαρμογές στο App Store για Mac, συλλέγουν κρυφά τα δεδομένα των χρηστών και τα ανεβάζουν σε Analytics Servers χωρίς την άδεια των ανυποψίαστων χρηστών.

Δημοφιλείς εφαρμογές όπως οι Dr. Unarchiver και Dr. Cleanerand, καθώς και άλλες εφαρμογές της εταιρείας ανάπτυξης "Trend Micro Inc.", συλλέγουν και ανεβάζουν πληροφορίες των χρηστών στους servers τους, από το ιστορικό των Safari, Google Chrome και Firefox.

Όλα αυτά μέσω πρόσβασης στον Φάκελλο του Χρήστη (macOS Home Directory).

Οι "πονηρές" αυτές εφαρμογές συλλέγουν δεδομένα κι από άλλα εγκατεστημένα apps εντός του συστήματος, στα οποία ξεκινάει η περισυλλογή μόλις τα εκκινήσετε, σύμφωνα με το 9to5Mac. Το πρόβλημα εντοπίστηκε αρχικά από χρήστη του Malwarebytes forum.

Οι αναφορές επιβεβαιώθηκαν από το 9to5Mac, όταν μετά από εγκατάσταση της εφαρμογής Dr. Unarchiver και σκαναρίσματος του home directory μέσω του "Quick Clean Junk Files", η εφαρμογή ξεκίνησε να συλλέγει σωρεία από περιττές πληροφορίες.

Αυτές περιείχαν δεδομένα από διάφορους browsers, αποκλειστικά αρχεία από πρόσφατα Google searches και έναν πλήρη κατάλογο από όλες τις εγκατεστημένες εφαρμογές που υπάρχουν στο σύστημα (συμπεριλαμβανομένων Code Signatures, εάν είναι ή όχι συμβατές με 64-bit και πληροφορίες σχετικά με το από που έγινε το download).

Κατά την διάρκεια της έρευνας, το Dr. Unarchiver ήταν η 12η δημοφιλέστερη εφαρμογή στο Αμερικάνικο Mac App Store, αλλά πλέον το έχουν αποσύρει από την αρχική σελίδα.

Ενώ το macOS Mojave έρχεται για να βελτιώσει την ασφάλεια σχετικά με τις εφαρμογές που έχουν πρόσβαση στο Home Directory, η διαδικασία ελέγχου του Store θα έπρεπε να είχε αντιληφθεί την συγκεκριμένη παραβίαση περί ασφάλειας του χρήστη και να μην είχε επιτρέψει την κυκλοφορία των εφαρμογών στο Mac App Store.

Επιπλέον τα νέα αυτά αμαυρώνουν την φήμη του Αμερικανικού κολοσσού, καθώς η Apple θα έπρεπε να παρέχει μεγαλύτερη ασφάλεια από την στιγμή που έχει πιο αυστηρή προσέγγιση σε ότι αφορά τις εφαρμογές, τουλάχιστον σε σύγκριση με την προσέγγιση της Google.

Τα νέα αυτά έρχονται μετά την αποκάλυψη πως μια άλλη διάσημη εφαρμογή του Apple Mac App Store, το Adware Doctor, ήταν τελικά ένα μυστικό spyware το οποίο έστελνε το ιστορικό του browser στην Κίνα.

Προτού αφαιρεθεί, το Adware Doctor (αξίας 4,99$) ήταν 5ο στην λίστα με τις επί πληρωμή εφαρμογές του App Store.

Η εφαρμογή είχε λάβει πάνω από 6000 βαθμολογήσεις 5 Αστέρων, αλλά είναι αμφίβολο κατά πόσο οι θετικές βαθμολογήσεις ήταν πραγματικές.

Οι περισσότεροι χρήστες περιμένουν την εποχή που θα "παροπλίσουν" τους σκληρούς δίσκους και θα τους αντικαταστήσουν με "μεγάλους" σε χωρητικότητα και ταχύτατους solid state drives. Πόσο όμως καλύτεροι είναι οι SSD από τους απλούς;

Σύμφωνα με δοκιμές της ιστοσελίδας The Tech Report είναι αρκετά καλύτερη. Η δοκιμή που πραγματοποίησε ο ιστότοπος αφορούσε έξι μοντέλα SSD μεταξύ των οποίων ήταν οι Kingston HyperX 3K, Samsung 840 Pro και η σειρά 335 της Intel.

Στην δοκιμή, τα προϊόντα εξαναγκάστηκαν να εγγράφουν και να επανεγγράφουν 10GB μικρών και μεγάλων αρχείων.

Τέσσερα από τα μοντέλα που έλαβαν μέρος στην δοκιμή αστόχησαν πριν το όριο του petabyte (αν και ξεπέρασαν αρκετά τις προδιαγραφές τους) και συχνά αφότου τα συστήματα SMART που διέθεταν είχαν μεταφέρει χιλιάδες bytes από κατεστραμμένους "sectors" της μνήμης flash.

Οι solid state drives ωστόσο των Samsung και Kingston κατάφεραν να εγγράψουν 2 petabytes δεδομένων χωρίς να παρουσιάσουν κάποιο πρόβλημα.

Λαμβάνοντας υπόψη ότι ένας απλός χρήστης πραγματοποιεί εγγραφές μερικών terabytes κάθε χρόνο σε ένα SSD, κάποιος θα μπορούσε να ισχυριστεί ότι οι συγκεκριμένοι δε θα εμφανίσουν πρόβλημα για πολλά... ίσως χιλιάδες χρόνια.

Η δοκιμή που πραγματοποιήθηκε ήταν μικρή και ανεπίσημη ωστόσο ενισχύει την άποψη ότι ένας SSD είναι πιο αξιόπιστος και αντέχει περισσότερο από έναν απλό σκληρό δίσκο.

Ο μη κερδοσκοπικός οργανισμός Bluetooth Special Interest Group (BSIG), υπεύθυνος για την ανάπτυξη νέων προτύπων όσον αφορά την ασύρματη σύνδεση, ανακοίνωσε επίσημα την έκδοση 4.2 του προτύπου Bluetooth.

Το ενδιαφέρον στη νέα έκδοση είναι η δυνατότητα των συσκευών που το υποστηρίζουν να λαμβάνουν διεύθυνση IP.

Μακροπρόθεσμα αυτό σημαίνει πως οι λειτουργίες ενός σπιτιού θα είναι αυτοματοποιημένες και θα μπορεί να δοθεί πρόσβαση μέσω Διαδικτύου χωρίς τη χρήση μιας συσκευής διαμεσολαβητή, όπως για παράδειγμα το άναμμα και σβήσιμο των φώτων, του θερμοστάτη ή ακόμα και μιας πόρτας.

Σύμφωνα με το BSIG, το Bluetooth 4.2 θα επιτρέψει την ευκολότερη επικοινωνία μεταξύ των συσκευών και θα γίνει η βάση για το Internet of Things.

Εκτός των άλλων, η έκδοση 4.2 θα χρησιμοποιεί λιγότερη ενέργεια αλλά θα είναι πιο γρήγορη, επιτρέποντας τη μεταφορά δεδομένων μεταξύ δυο συσκευών στο μισό χρόνο που απαιτείται τώρα.

Επιπλέον, η ανίχνευση συσκευών μέσω του Bluetooth 4.2 θα είναι πιο δύσκολη, έως αδύνατη για τα καταστήματα που χρησιμοποιούν το iBeacon της Apple, εκτός και αν δοθεί άδεια να επικοινωνούν οι σταθμοί (beackons) με τις συσκευές των χρηστών.

Παρ'όλα αυτά, το ArsTechnica διευκρινίζει πως μερικές και όχι όλες οι λειτουργίες θα είναι διαθέσιμες σε παλαιότερες συσκευές ενώ εκπρόσωπος τύπου του BSIG αναφέρει πως για να λειτουργήσουν παλαιότερες συσκευές με τη νέα έκδοση 4.2 θα πρέπει να αναβαθμιστούν σε πιο πρόσφατο hardware.

Apple released OS X Yosemite. By now you should recognize this as a familiar refrain from yours truly, but I'm going to say it anyway: Don't upgrade. Just don't do it. At least not yet.

Yosemite's been in developers' hands since June, when it was announced at Apple's WWDC event in San Francisco, and it's also been in the public's hands — in the form of a public beta version that's been iterated several times since its release this summer.

So I, for one, am hoping for a more stable release than we saw of Mavericks, which took months to sort out after it made its debut last fall.

But I'm not counting on it.

Ever since iOS 8 dropped in September there's been incessant chatter on tech blogs armchair-quarterbacking Apple's internal development processes. I've also seen at least a few blogs suggest that Apple's quality assurance measures have gone downhill; that Apple's no longer focusing on quality. Some have even hauled out the well-worn "This never would have happened with Steve Jobs" trope that's been beaten to death since his passing in 2011.

It's all bullshit.

Apple's QA has been a lot worse. Just ask any of us old Mac vets who lived through the "Classic" Mac OS days. And there were a few stinkers on the OS X road too.

Certainly stuff like iOS 8.0.1 shouldn't have happened - killing your new flagship product with an over the air update was just baffling, and I hope some day to learn the story of just how that got out the door.

But the fact is that iOS and OS X are both complex, intricate systems. And Apple has a pretty aggressive update schedule that brings major new versions of its operating systems each year. Sometimes it takes a bit of time for Apple to shake out the problems.

The problem as I see it is that Apple has now made it trivially easy for many of us to upgrade the second we get a notification, so upgrade we do. Anyone on the bleeding edge of an upgrade who experiences problems is likely to complain about it, and social media makes it simple for us to find like-minded people and band together. Even Apple's own discussion forums sometimes give us a distorted sense of the magnitude of technical problems we have with our Apple products.

Before I wrote I had a career in IT, and it was drilled into me by my bosses that we should never be on the bleeding edge of anything because doing so carries risk, and risk costs us profitability. It was a problem, sometimes, because vendors promised the moon if we'd just agree to upgrade our software or hardware. The temptation is to increase productivity — and therefore profits.

That risk aversion is easy to lose when it's not a question of making money, but just of having the newest thing you can. It's easy when Apple releases the software updates for free, too.

It's especially compelling this year, because many Mac users have iOS devices too, and already have upgraded to iOS 8 or may have purchased a new device that already has iOS 8 installed on it. And iOS 8 and Yosemite sport benefits together — in the form of Apple's "Handoff" technology — that promise an experience greater than the sum of their parts.

But if your Mac is stable and working well enough right now with Mavericks, I'd caution you to consider waiting just a little bit of time before upgrading to Yosemite. You really ought to wait and see where the pitfalls are before you jump.

Some of you are reading this and scoffing. You've been using the public beta and you see no reason to wait. Or you really want or need those Handoff features to work right. Or you mistakenly upgraded to iCloud Drive when you switched to iOS 8 and you want to get access to your iCloud documents again.

Before you start crafting an angry retort scoffing at my suggestion, please understand that my advice is not offered as a one-size-fits-all recommendation to everyone — just to those of you reading this who may not have a compelling reason (or think you know better). For those of you, just hang on a bit and see where the problems lie. Then decide when it's time to make the jump to Yosemite.

Η εταιρία Palo Alto Networks, αποκάλυψε ένα malware για συσκευές της Apple με λειτουργικό Mac OS X και iOS, πρακτικά όλες τις συσκευές της εταιρίας.
 
Σύμφωνα με την Palo Alto Networks, το malware με την ονομασία WireLurker έχει εξαπλωθεί από το Maiyadi App Store (κινέζικο App Store για το OS X) και έχει μολύνει περισσότερους από 350 χιλιάδες υπολογιστές, οι οποίοι με τη σειρά τους μολύνουν τις iOS φορητές συσκευές της Apple.
 
Το WireLurker "μεταδίδεται", όταν οι συσκευές με iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) συνδεθούν μέσω USB με τον μολυσμένο υπολογιστή.
 
Κατά τη σύνδεση, το WireLurker αποκτά πρόσβαση στη συσκευή, χρησιμοποιώντας πλαστό enterprise provisioning certificate (χρησιμοποιείται από εταιρίες για  εγκατάσταση software χωρίς την έγκριση του App Store), ενώ εγκαθίσταται και σε συσκευές που έχει γίνει jailbreak.
 
Στα jailbroken iPhone, το malware ξαναεγκαθιστά εφαρμογές όπως το TaoBao και το AliPay (εφαρμογές για δημοπρασίες και πληρωμές) ώστε να μαζέψει χρήσιμες πληροφορίες.
 
Οι ερευνητές αναφέρουν ότι η συγκεκριμένη εφαρμογή είναι ένας έλεγχος για να δοκιμάσουν ότι το σύστημα λειτουργεί, πριν περάσουν σε κακόβουλες δραστηριότητες.
 
Το malware είναι σε πρώιμο στάδιο και δεν γνωρίζουν οι ερευνητές πως μπορεί να εξελιχθεί, ενώ προτείνουν να αποφεύγουν οι χρήστες USB φορτιστές από άγνωστους κατασκευαστές και να μην εγκαθιστούν εφαρμογές από τρίτα App Stores.
 
Η Palo Alto Networks έχει ήδη αναπτύξει το εργαλείο WireLurker: A New Era in OS X and iOS Malware που μπορεί να ελέγξει την ύπαρξη του malware.

With Office for Mac in limbo and Apple continuing to spoil Pages for the rest of us, I took a risk installing OpenOffice on a newly configured Mac – and may never look back.

By David Braue

Old habits definitely do die hard, which is probably why I have dutifully pulled out the Microsoft Office for Mac (OfM) install disk every time I've reformatted or upgraded one of the many Macs I've set up and kept running over the years.

When recently setting up a new iMac with Mavericks and I couldn't locate that OfM install disk, however, an act of desperation turned into a new modus operandi after I realised that our open-source allies have made the world's most widely used office suite nearly irrelevant.

Microsoft Office may be rusted onto the corporate office worker's psyche, but many Mac users will find OpenOffice just as capable.

There has been a lot of movement in the office-suite market of late, what with Apple releasing Pages, Keynote and Numbers for free; Google Docs popular but still outage-prone; and Microsoft's Office 365 gaining momentum even as the company puts free versions of Office in the cloud to varying effect.

While cloud-based alternatives are getting better all the time, I'm a traditionalist who has used local productivity applications since the days of Wordstar. So, as you can imagine, when I set up a new computer I like to have a writing tool that works whether I'm online or not.

Previous versions of iWork had promise as an alternative, but I have a long-running feud with Apple over iWork for one simple reason: Apple refuses to give it the ability to simply load and save files in Word's .DOC format.

That's right: the only way to handle documents in Pages is by saving your working documents as .pages files – which are, inexplicably, often 10 or more times larger than their Word .DOC equivalent – and then exporting .DOC versions as and when you need them.

If you work with a lot of documents, the double-handling rapidly grates on you. I was hoping to standardise on Pages after hearing about Apple's move to make it free, but Apple is still insisting that we use its own file format to save documents.

Little wonder the business community has been increasingly abandoning Pages and iWork: in the real world – the business world outside Apple's closed-garden ecosystem –absolutely nobody uses the .pages format. Apple's determination to force it down our throats has made its latest iWork iteration less of an Office killer and something more resembling TextEdit on steroids.

At any rate, with Pages out of the question and Office nowhere to be found, I took a chance and revisited the open-source equivalent, OpenOffice, to see if it might allow me to maintain my workflow based on the frequent loading, editing and saving of .DOC files.

OpenOffice has been around for some time, but despite heroic efforts by its developers it has struggled to gain a massive following mainly because Microsoft Office is so broadly available. Business users know Office and have it available to them as a matter of course, while home users probably get it through student bundles or the like.

Mac users, however, have a different decision set. Despite its name, Office for Mac is a rather different productivity suite than Office for Windows – with a different interface and a different feature set. These differences are often significant: it was only with the latest version, for example, that the Mac version of Office was given Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) scripting capabilities after years of conspicuous absence.

Rumour has it that the next version of Office for Mac will bow early next year – prompting many to upgrade, no doubt, even as the memory of now-unsupported Office 2008 fades. But if you can't wait that long – or, like me, you find yourself without an OfM install disk – it's time to give OpenOffice another look.

I had tried it a few versions ago but found it woefully underfeatured as a replacement for OfM. But with its latest iteration (v4.0), OpenOffice is not only extremely quick and easy to use; thanks to ongoing improvements and the contribution of a large volume of code from IBM's Symphony, it's compatible and close enough to Office that you may not even notice you're in the new environment.

Certainly, for someone with very specific requirements – all I need to do is be able to edit documents, save and send .DOC files, and use tools like the highlighter and word counts – OpenOffice ticks all the boxes.

I have found it to be a simple-to-use, capable alternative to Word that costs nothing and offers more than enough features and flexibility that it probably does everything you need it to. It even has Pages' contextual sidebars.

If you have several Macs in the family, this may make OpenOffice not only curious but absolutely compelling because of its much lower cost.

Sure, I've made a few changes: for example, using Mac OS X's application-specific keystrokes I have set up a few keyboard shortcuts for functions like Format Paragraph (Shift-Command-M) and Word Count (if you don't know how to do this, go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Application Shortcuts, then click +, choose your application, enter the unique text of the menu item you want the keystroke to start, and then the keystroke you want to use).

Play around with it and you'll find that the latest OpenOffice gives you more than enough room to stretch your arms and get to work. The spreadsheet and presentation modules are so similar to Excel and PowerPoint – the Mac versions, at least – that you may never know you're not using the real thing.

This is not meant to be a primer on OpenOffice, as much as a reminder that it is still out there, and in its latest iteration it is better than ever.

That may be good news for its authors, since figures suggest that OpenOffice is not exactly burning up the charts; a recent Forrester survey suggested that only 6 percent of companies offer their employees an alternative to Microsoft Office.

As I mentioned earlier, favourable enterprise licensing terms mean most people don't have any need for OpenOffice; recent figures suggest 16 percent of businesses will upgrade to Office 2013 within a year and 20 percent more in the long term.

This is great news for Microsoft and Windows users. But if you're a Mac user who can't or won't buy OfM – or are just looking for an easier and faster productivity option – give it a try. You may find, like I did, that the days of installing massive, monolithic applications are simply over.

What do you think? Have you switched to OpenOffice? Did you try it and discover it was underpowered for your needs? Or am I already late to the party?

Midway through the Mavericks installation, my Air shut itself off completely -- no warning or explanation, and it did not start up again until I was forced to manually switch it on, at which point it said it was forced to shut down due to an error. It then resumed and seemed to finish the update, but immediately thereafter shut itself down again, and now will not boot up at all. No chime, no white screen, no response at all -- there's the tiniest, almost inaudible click from inside the machine but otherwise it's as though the power button hasn't been pressed at all. I've tried the SMC reset, etc, still no response.

Until this point, I've not had any problems with the Air at all -- the only hint of anything that's made me frown is that it sometimes reverts to the sleep-mode black screen for a second or after I wake it from sleep. Nothing else at all. I also ran the Mavericks update on my rMBP, and likewise had no trouble with it at all.

Any ideas what the problem could be?

I installed Mavericks on my MBP Early 2011 15" on top of ML latest version. Things went smooth but when using it for work it started to first show strange images in a two screen setup. I restarted an switched off graphics accelerator switch (between integrated and separate graphics card). This worked fine then.
 
Tonight I had a FaceTime call and after a while the system got stuck completely with a black screen. When turning off and restarting the system booted, after showing the Apple logo, and got stuck right a afterwards just showing a white screen.
 
When booting into safe mode, the screen shows blue vertical stripes after a while, stuck too.
Booting into recovery mode does not work either.
 
I am really upset how Apple can create such a poor free upgrade bricking my whole system.

Any ideas?

Bought a good used MBP mid 2010, MC374LL/A, and performed a Mavericks upgrade.  Installation went well and finished sucessfully.  This is the second install of this type I've done with this Mavericks download, so I know its good.  There was one update for iBooks and I let that finish then turned off the machine. 
 
Later when re-starting, I get 9 beeps - 3 short, 3 long, 3 short which is the code for firmware corruption.  I've made a firmware restoration cd following instructions at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2213 but I can't get it to work. 
 
What should I do?

Ερευνητές ηλεκτρονικής ασφαλείας, ανακάλυψαν ένα κενό ασφαλείας στο Flash του Google Chrome, το οποίο υπό προϋποθέσεις μπορεί να επιτρέψει ένα αγνοία του χρήστη την ενεργοποίηση της κάμερας και του μικροφώνου του.
 
Το συγκεκριμένο κενό ασφαλείας, μπορεί να επιτρέψει σε κάποιον επιτιθέμενο να λάβει τον έλεγχο της webcam του χρήστη και ουσιαστικά να τον παρακολουθεί μέσω αυτής, με εικόνα και ήχο χωρίς ο χρήστης να το αντιληφθεί.
 
Η διαδικασία μπορεί να πραγματοποιηθεί ως εξής: ο χρήστης επισκέπτεται κάποια σελίδα στην οποία υπάρχει ένα "αόρατο πλήκτρο" (ένα διαφανές στοιχείο), καμουφλαρισμένο πιθανώς σε κάποια επιλογή, στο οποίο εάν ο χρήστης "πατήσει", αυτομάτως δίνει δικαιώματα χρήσης της webcam του στους κακόβουλους που έστησαν αυτό τον μηχανισμό.
 
Η συγκεκριμένη ευπάθεια επηρεάζει όλες τις εκδόσεις του Chrome που έχουν ενσωματωμένο Flash Player, για λειτουργικά Windows, OS X, Linux, ακόμη και το Chrome OS.
 
Όσοι χρησιμοποιούν άλλους browsers δεν έχουν λόγο να ανησυχούν, αφού μεταξύ άλλων οι Firefox, Internet Explorer και Opera διαχειρίζονται τα διαφανή στοιχεία του Flash με διαφορετικό τρόπο και δεν είναι ευάλωτοι στο συγκεκριμένο πρόβλημα.
 
Από τη Google άργησαν να αντιδράσουν στο συγκεκριμένο κενό ασφαλείας, δήλωσαν όμως πως θα το επιλύσουν μέχρι το τέλος της εβδομάδας.

Microsoft has issued an update to Office 2011 for OS X, which closes a critical vulnerability that may allow remote code execution from an attacker.

With this vulnerability a maliciously crafted Word document or e-mail message in Outlook (with Word configured as the e-mail reader) could give an attacker the execution rights as the current user, allowing them to arbitrarily run code on the affected system.

Microsoft's AutoUpdate tool is the most convenient way to apply the update.

While this update is a run-of-the-mill closure of identified vulnerabilities, be sure to keep your system fully updated. While there are undoubtedly other undocumented vulnerabilities in software, malware developers often use known and patched security holes in software, in hopes that they can hook someone who has not updated and secured their system.

Therefore, be sure to always keep your software fully updated.

In addition to security vulnerabilities, this update fixes an error with IMAP accounts in Outlook, where the flagged or starred state of messages is not properly retained.

The update is available through Microsoft's AutoUpdate utility as a 113MB download, but can also be downloaded from the Microsoft Download Center. After installing, the version of Office on your system should be 14.3.5.
