| New Sandboxing facility for Flash player in latest Dev release of Chrome Posted: 02 Dec 2010 06:53 AM PST Adobe flash was a major concern for me when I used Chrome browser. I used to experience so many chrashes saying flash crashed restart browser and stuff.I guess it’s gonna come to an end from now on as Adobe flash has figured a way to make it more secure by letting the guys at Google do it.In the latest dev release of Chrome Google has included a new sandboxing facility for Flash Player content. Sandboxing is nothing but the process of isolation and containment of untrusted executable code — is an important tool in securing your browser, and thus your computer, against unruly malware.Google Chrome has been sandboxing HTML rendering and JavaScript execution for a while, but now they’ve followed through on their promise and brought sandboxing to the Flash plug-in. Not only can Chrome sandbox the built-in Flash plug-in, but also the standalone Adobe version too — so no matter whether you’re running the latest Flash beta, or the automatically-updated Chrome one, you can browse a little bit safer.
Sandboxing in Chrome is currently only available for Windows, where it’s particularly important for the relatively insecure Windows XP, and is rolling out to all Chrome Dev installations on Windows automatically. If you have a particular aversion to sandboxing your Flash experience, you can easily disable it with the flag –disable-flash-sandbox. This is still a bug fix dev release i.e it’s not even beta so Windows users might consider waiting a bit more until it comes out officially in the stable releases.Anyways those who want to try it out and can dowload the latest dev release.

| RIM buys TAT, Blackberry UI might become more awesome Posted: 02 Dec 2010 06:27 AM PST Research In Motion (RIM) has just confirmed the acquisition of Swedish UI design company TAT, which will soon be “bringing their talent to the BlackBerry PlayBook and smartphone platforms.” If you are not sure who TAT is,it is the team that helped polish the original Android interface on the T-Mobile G1 as well as from more recent UI design projects — the main point of concern is that these guys have shown they know what they’re doing.
Now pairing the rock solid foundation of the QNX-built PlayBook OS with some top-level spit-shine from a company specializing in exactly that has us legitimately excited.There is a also a chance of Blackberry UI becoming still awesome.
