Adobe Issues Security Warning About Flash Player 10.3


  Adobe issued security warning for user's, those using Flash Player 10.3 on their phones need to make sure that they have downloaded the latest version of the application. Because the security of the program has been compromised, make sure that version 10.3.185.23 is on your handset and if not, head over to the Android Market and install it. The software developer is saying that if you visit a malicious web site, you could receive emails designed to trick you into clicking on a "malicious link".

 We can imagine Apple CEO Steve Jobs leaning back in his office chair with a self satisfied look on his face. Nonetheless, once the latest version of Adobe Flash Player 10.3 is installed on your Android phone, your device is safe-for the time being. Back in April, we reported that a similar security problem was found in Adobe Flash Player 10.2, and with the app's widespread use on Android devices and its vulnerability to being hacked, this might not be the end of the problem.

Google Introduced Live Transit to Mobile Maps



 Google Maps has become pretty much a standard for mobile mapping applications as Android is rising in market share with a pace of some 400,000 each day, and that's why the addition of Live Transit to the service is more than welcome. As you'd expect, Google Maps Live Transit adds live information about the schedule of local public transportation, so even if the bus/train is late, you can still be informed about the actual time of its arrival:

 Google introduces Live Transit to mobile Maps
“When you click on a transit station or plan a transit route with Google Maps and there are delays or alerts related to your trip, you’ll now see “live departure times” (indicated with a special icon) and service alerts.”

 Beginning now, the service will be rolled out to cover the public transportation system of Boston, Portland, San Diego, San Francisco, as well as the European cities of Madrid and Turin. Google states that it will be working closely with the public transportation systems of other cities, so we hope that list will get updated soon. So while this might not make a world of a difference for motorists, it's a great tool for the rest of the bus-riding public. Check out the video below with all the fine details.

Kate Winslet Poses Nude For Mario Testino:



 Titanic girl Kate Winslate has admitted that, she posed nude for Mario Testino's latest exhibition because of the photographer's innate ability to capture beauty.

"You know that his biggest strength without fail is making women look beautiful," said Winslet. "When Mario turns to you and says, 'It's beautiful, but I think it would work better naked, no?' How can one refuse?"

Calling Testino a "magician", Winslet explained that she had no intention of posing naked for the shoot, but was persuaded in a matter of minutes.

"One moment you are in the hair and makeup chair fully clothed and wishing you had smoother skin, longer legs and smaller feet and then Mario comes in and in that charming way he takes you by the hand and says, 'Don't worry it's going to be amazing.'"

Winslet is no stranger to posing naked – she famously appeared nude in the films Titanic and The Reader, but says it's important for young women to know that films and photos aren't a reflection of reality.

"I do think it's important for young women to know that magazine covers are retouched. People don't really look like that. In films I might look glamorous, but I've been in hair and make-up for two hours. With the nudity in The Reader, for example, even I was like, 'Damn, I look good.' It was a bit of body make-up. I don't believe in pretending those things don't go on."

Revealing that her childhood nickname was "Blubber," Winslet admitted to marie claire US in 2009 that she was "always the girl that people would say, 'Ah, it's such a shame, because you've got such a pretty face.'

"I had that well into my teens," Winslet continues, adding, "Even now I do not consider myself to be some kind of great, sexy beauty. I don't mind the way I'm ageing. No reason to panic just yet. I think I look my age, and that's fine."

London tourist alert: Prince William on horseback


LONDON : Sharp-eyed tourists outside Buckingham Palace had a rare opportunity Saturday to see Prince William on horseback.

But even those in the vicinity might well have missed him, since his well-known face was obscured by a traditional tall bearskin hat.

The prince was taking part in a rehearsal for next week's "Trooping the Colour," a major event to mark Queen Elizabeth II's official birthday.

The queen turned 85 in April, but the public party for the monarch's birthday is held on a Saturday in June when the weather is better. The custom dates from 1748 and will be June 11 this year.

William, riding a mottled gray horse called Wellesley, was wearing the red Irish Guards tunic with a blue sash that he wore at his April 29 wedding to Kate Middleton at Westminster Abbey.

William, 28, was made Colonel of the Irish Guards in February. He is expected to wear the same outfit at the actual "Trooping the Colour" ceremony, which usually draws thousands of well-wishers to the ceremonial heart of London.

William and his new wife, formally known as the Duchess of Cambridge, plan to visit Canada and California in late June and early July.
