Motorola’s Droid 4 has been waiting for a long, long time for the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system update, but it seems as though there is no end in sight to the amount of patience required for this wait.
A video released by Tenable Security showing a visualization of an office network is pretty wild. Using different colors and lines users can pin-point problem areas based on traffic and data being sent and received to each machine.
The system lets you call out various aspects of the network using marker shape, color, and network lines. For example, you can change symbol colors depending on vulnerabilities and even change the shape and position of mobile devices. You can see a little more of the visualization over here.
Some users of Symantec's PGP Desktop encryption software are finding that after installing OS X 10.7.4, the program does not appear to respond properly and encrypted disks can no longer be accessed.

Late last week, Adobe set off a bit of a kerfuffle when it announced that three of its applications suffered from serious security flaws. They offered readers a simple fix: pay to upgrade to the latest version. Considering the latest version of the company's Creative Suite was less than a week old at the time, this represented both an extremely short period of support for the previous generation of software, and an extremely high price to fix a set of potential vulnerabilities. The move was widely panned by both security experts and Adobe customers.

Hackers rejoice … HTC has released the source code for the wildly popular One X.

The Death Star strikes again!

Hot out of BlackBerry World 2012 and we're full steam ahead for BlackBerry 10. Some leaked screen caps have turned up in the CrackBerry forums that show off another awesome feature we just may see in BlackBerry 10 devices.
If these slides hold true, BlackBerry 10 may be sporting a built-in screen sharing feature. From the looks of it, you'll be able to share your phone screen while on a call - which is awesome for sharing presentations or just showing off some photos.
