A little tidbit Adobe conveniently leaves out of their security announcements. It should read: "The sandbox will protect you, unless you're using the Pro version of our product that you paid a lot of money for. Mostly because we were too lazy and inept to include it, or have the security team release updates more than 4 times a year." Because everyone knows, the bad guys only work on release schedules.

Too bad OCZ's Vertex 3 line does nothing but blue screen and cause system freezes as well as not being detected by the BIOS on occasion. 9 firmware revisions since we bought them, installed in multiple computers, and still no fix. They won't be getting my business. Doesn't matter how fast it is if you can't rely on it.

I don't quite agree with that. It strikes me more as a defensive acquisition. Grab the licenser before someone else does. There are other vectors to that end as well. The DEC/ARM StrongARM flavor, which evolved into Intel's Xscale, which was tossed by Intel to Marvell, presumably so they could focus on the Atom. Maybe.

Not really, they were originally trying to get MacOS to run on custom Alpha's with DEC's help, but the DEC engineers wouldn't do it. 64 bit, 200+ MHz CPU in the early 90's. Things would have been a lot different today if they weren't so pig headed. (Both Apple and DEC). I think this was even before Intel stole core logic from the Alpha for the Pentium II.
