Cisco’s shame

on Wednesday, August 3rd, 2005

I was one of the guys who really liked Cisco products etc.
I even got the CCNA courses. However this news is not something that I can put together with Cisco.

A researcher followed through with a presentation on a security hole in Cisco’s IOS even after the network equipment company theatened to shut down the conference if the information wasn’t suppressed.

and the presentation on Cisco bugs which was removed from the books are here.

SVG and Flash

on Tuesday, August 2nd, 2005

SVG is the opensource alternative to Macromedia flash.
After Adobe and Macromedia joined, maybe they would go for an SVG support in flash players.
However it is anticipated an SVG support in the next Firefox.
I’m sure IE7 will follow it up too…

Time will show if the MM Flash will stand solid.

By the way Macromedia has a new showcase for flash platform.
Suprisingly Slashdot has an article on SVG too :). It has a good list of SVG supporting software
