The security industry was left shaking in its boots last week after
Symantec announced three notable acquisitions: Recourse Technologies,
Riptech and SecurityFocus. We are told the information lists hosted
by SecurityFocus (many of which are used to compose this newsletter)
will not be affected, so the information flow in the security industry
hopefully will remain uninterrupted.

An interesting post surfaced this week detailing the shortcomings of
Adobe's eBook products. Essentially, a user can override the copy,
print and lending limitations built into the reader. You have to
wonder if attempting to control users' interaction with a document is a
lesson in futility in an environment where users have complete control.
