+A recently [revealed][1] Apple patent shows that Dashboard may gain a 3D interface in the near future. With the Worldwide Developers conference just over a month away so are already speculating that the interface may find its way into the upcoming Leopard OS.
+
+The patent application seems to describe a system of "virtual" Dashboards, which would operate much like "Spaces" the virtual desktop setup in Leopard.
+
+The rotating cube interface that the Apple design team seems semi-obsessed with is one possible implementation of the virtual Dashboard model.
+
+Other types of organization schemes in the patent include a very Rolodex-looking graphic to flip through multiple dashboards -- i.e. the Window switcher in Vista. As well as a rotating carousel-looking object.
+
+There's no telling which, if any, of these designs will end up in Leopard, but I really hope this isn't one the "additional features" Jobs' is always hinting at -- eye candy is not a feature.

+If you purchase a new computer from nearly any retailer these days, chances are you've got a whole bunch of crappy, useless software and free trials lurking around your hard drive, eating up space and popping up annoying install messages. 
+
+The aptly named Decrapifier, eliminates that unwanted junk in one pass. Just download the program, unzip and run the application. Decrapifier looks for common "junkware" applications like free internet service apps, search "assistants," demoware and more.
+
+Exercise the usual cautions when selecting what to delete since once it's gone, it's gone.
+
+Yes, you could use Windows Explorer uninstall dialogue to delete all this stuff by hand, but Decrapifier makes it much easier.
+
+The PC Decrapifier is free for personal use.
+
+As you can see in the screenshot below, if you happen to be running a simple retail copy of Vista, Decrapifier is largely unnecessary -- for everyone else, get rid of that junk.

+So, you're the proud owner of a new PC. You anxiously open the box, dumping out the contents, casting the instructions aside. You feverishly push your old PC off the desk and get the new one set up. On the floor lies a pile of plastic wrap and twist ties. Your brand spanking new PC boots up only to greet you with a plethora of pop up advertisements pestering you to pay for anti-virus software or sign up for a music service. Your desktop is littered with website links for 'special offers.' The system tray is already full of programs that continuously use your internet connection to make sure that you're 'up to date.'
+
+"When did I ask for this?" you ask. Well, you didn't and that's where the PC Decrapifier comes in. The PC Decrapifier attempts to remove all of the crap on your PC that you never asked for or wanted. To manually remove all of this stuff by hand can take at least an hour (depending on the severity of the infestation.) The PC Decrapifier will detect the 'crap' on your system, you choose what to uninstall, then sit back and let the PC Decrapifier work its magic.
+
+All of this stuff is placed on your new PC because the big companies like Dell, HP and others sell advertising space on your PC to put more money in their pockets at the expense of your time and frustration.
+
+The PC Decrapifier is a program free for personal use to help the average computer user combat this problem. It is also available for PC technicians at a small fee to use as a tool in their everyday business to save a tremendous amount of time.

+Yahoo has announced it will shut down [Yahoo Photos][2] in favor of [Flickr][3] which recently completed its own [transition to Yahoo property][4]. Current Yahoo Photos users will have the opportunity to move their pictures over to Flickr, though no details about how that transition will work are available yet. 
+
+In a somewhat surprising move, [CNet reports][1] that Yahoo Photos users will also have the option to move their photos to Shutterfly or the Kodak Gallery. The additional options are Yahoo's way of dealing with the radical differences between Yahoo Photos and Flickr.
+
+Yahoo believes that some Photos users may not like Flickr's very different approach, a more open, sharing-oriented approach, which eschews traditional storage metaphors like "albums" in favor of more flexible, but arguably less intuitive, "sets" and "collections."
+
+That said, I don't think Flickr is all that much of a stretch and as much as I've given Flickr a hard time for how it handled the transition to Yahoo, it remains my favorite photo sharing site. If you're a Yahoo Photos user, I would recommend checking out Flickr, its a little different, but once you wrap your head around it, I think you'll enjoy it.
+
+For some handy tips on how to use and get the most out of Flickr, check out the [tutorial we wrote about a while back][5].
+
+Yahoo Photos Users will have three months to migrate to whatever alternative service they choose.

+Next Tuesday Microsoft [will release][2] its latest monthly batch of security bulletins. This month will see no less than seven bulletins, one of which will include a fix for a zero-day flaw in Windows that is already being used in the wild.
+
+Other bulletins will address flaws in Windows, Office, Exchange and BizTalk, all four of which contain at least one patch rated as critical, meaning that an attacker can execute remote code to hijack a user's system.
+
+The zero-day flaw that will reportedly be patched stems from a vulnerability in the Windows DNS system which affects Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003. 
+
+Other than listing which updates require a restart, Microsoft has not released any further information on specific vulnerabilities the updates will address.
+
+Users should detect the updates sometime on Tuesday using Microsoft's Baseline Security Analyzer.

+[Pidgin][4], [formerly known as Gaim][1], has just release version 2.0 of the widely popular open-source instant messaging client. Pidgin 2.0 offers multi-protocol chat support and a robust plug-in architecture for third party developers.
+
+Though many may be confused by the name change, Pidgin is retains all of the features present in its former incarnation as Gaim, however, version 2.0 represents a significant interface overhaul.
+
+Part of Pidgin's appeal lies in the simplified interface.
+
+Much like the excellent Mac IM client [Adium][5], Pidgin divides the interface into two primary windows -- a buddy list and a tabbed chat window.
+
+Buddies can be divided into groups and status icons indicate connectivity, though one thing I missed from Adium were differentiated icons for different services. In Adium it's easy to tell at a glance who's on what network, but Pidgin uses a single icon for the whole list regardless of the network.
+
+Speaking networks, perhaps the best reason for Pidgin's name change (aside from outstanding legal issues) is that it now supports all the common IM networks including, AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Groupwise, ICQ, IRC, Jabber, MSN, QQ, SIMPLE, Yahoo, and Zephyr.
+
+In this day and age I still don't understand why IM users bother with proprietary clients that run on individual networks. Some might argue that the growth of in-browser Ajax IM clients renders Pidgin obsolete, but for those that like keeping IM tasks in a separate application, Pidgin is hard to beat.
+
+Anil Dash [recently called][2] Pidgin the "Firefox of IM," and the latest release certain has Pidgin heading in that direction. Pidgin is free, open source and has a recently re-written,  plug-in architecture which allows outside developers to create customized features.
+
+The only remaining question is whether Pidgin will catch on with users the way Firefox did.
+
+The official Pidgin site seems to be suffering from the Digg effect, but you can grab a copy of the [latest version][3] from Sourceforge.

+Windows Vista required many to purchase new hardware to run the sophisticated graphics interface known as Aero Glass, but for laptop users complaining about poor battery performance in Vista, Aero may be the culprit. 
+
+The best battery saving tip for notebook users would of course be to disable Aero, but in that case why spend the money upgrading at all?
+
+CNet [reports][1] this morning that some hardware manufacturers, like HP, are altering the default power management setting in Vista in an effort to overcome Vista's power hungry Aero Glass interface.
+
+Of course with any system upgrade, such as the move from Windows XP to Vista, one expects a certain level of increase in power consumption. 
+
+But unfortunately for Microsoft, in the time between the two systems the laptop has overtaken the desktop in popularity and the problem is no longer just a few extra bucks on your electric bill.
+
+In my own experience, running Vista on a Macbook via Boot Camp, I get dramatically less time out of a full battery charge when booted into Vista versus Mac OS X. 
+
+I generally have about five apps open on either platform, including Firefox, Thunderbird, Notepad (BBEdit in OS X), NewsGator or NetNewsWire and occasionally Photoshop CS3. In OS X that gets me about four to four and half hours of work time, in Vista it's more like three.
+
+I had been assuming that perhaps the Boot Camp software or Mac specific drivers were dragging down my battery life, but after reading about others with similar problems, I'm not so sure.
+
+I'm curious if Compiler readers have had problems with battery life after switching to Vista. Let us know your experiences in the comments below.

+Apple recently [released a software update][3] designed to address performance issues with Macbook and Macbook Pro batteries. The battery update can be found by running Software Update or can be [downloaded directly from the Apple site][1].
+
+Apple says the update should be run on all MacBook and MacBook Pros purchased between February 2006 and April 2007, but claims that the performance issues do not present a safety risk. "You may continue to use your current battery," says the Apple update page.
+
+However, the page also lists some symptoms, which might necessitate the replacement of your battery. The qualifying symptoms of an affected battery are:
+
+*	Battery is not recognized causing an "X" to appear in the battery icon in the Finder menu bar.
+*	Battery will not charge when computer is plugged into AC power.
+*	Battery exhibits low charge capacity/runtime when using a fully charged battery with a battery cycle count (as shown in System Profiler) of less than 300.
+*	Battery pack is visibly deformed.
+
+If you experience any of the above, it's time to head to an Apple store or authorized Apple repair center, where you can new battery, free of charge, even if your MacBook or MacBook Pro is out of warranty.
+
+While it's nice to see Apple finally address a widespread issue, I ran across [a thread in the Apple forums][2] where some users have reported problems with the update. Given that my Macbook is my main work machine, I haven't applied the update yet. But I also haven't had any problems with the battery and I'm a firm believer in the old adage "if it ain't broke..." -- YMMV.
+
+And there's certainly no hurry, the new battery program extends repair coverage to up to two years from the date of purchase.

+Mozilla has reached another milestone in the development of Firefox 3, releasing another alpha build over the weekend. As with the previous alpha releases, Gran Paradiso Alpha 4 is intended primarily for the developer community and is not yet ready for prime-time.
+
+Alpha 4 brings a number of new enhancements to Firefox 3, which we [outlined yesterday][1]. While most of the new feautres are behind-the-scenes improvments which are not immediately obvious to the casual user, there is one exception -- speed.
+
+Alpha 4 is the fastest version of Firefox yet, though how much of that is a result of running the browser with no extensions, versus actual speed increase is open to debate. 
+
+Behind the scenes the new Gecko 1.9 rendering engine does bring speed boosts in page load time and disabling the extensions in Firefox 2 still didn't match the speed of Gran Paradiso. In my testing (done using a Macbook 2 GHz, 1 G RAM, running OS X and Windows with cable internet connection) pages snapped up with almost no lag at all.

+Mac users will probably see the biggest speed gains in the coming Firefox 3 since all the interface elements in next version will use Cocoa widgets. However, there seems to be some confusion as to what this means. 
+
+For the record, "native Cocoa widgets" refers to things like scrollbars, buttons in the various panels, and other browser UI elements. It **does not mean** that form elements on the page will use OS X-style buttons and lists. 
+
+In fact the newly native Cocoa widgets look no different than the Carbon widgets (see screenshots below) used in Firefox 2; the difference is they render faster, providing Mac users with a much needed speed boost.
+
+Other than speed gains, the most noticeable new feature is a completely redesigned Page Info panel. The Page Info panel has been condensed and re-organized, as well as adding some new features like the ability to set cookie and security permissions on a per page basis (which is possible in Firefox 2, but only via add-ons).
+
+Previous the Get Info panel was subdivided into "forms," "links," and "media" tabs, but those three have now been condensed into one tab, "media" which allows quick and easy access to all the image assets on a page. 
+
+Interestingly, external stylesheets, Javascript and other files previously listed in the "links" tab appear to no longer be available.
+
+Alpha 4 also introduces a new crash reporting mechanism named Breakpad that should help Firefox developers get better feedback. On the Mac side, it's also worth noting that Breakpad can peacefully co-exist with OS X' built in crash reporter.
+
+Two new features we were really looking forward to, didn't end up making the final build of Alpha 4. Growl notifications were disabled at the last minute since they still have too many bugs, and Places, a new History and Bookmarks manager, is only partially included.
+
+For the daring, the Mozilla wiki has instructions on how to [create a build of Alpha 4 with Places fully enabled][2].
+
+As with any alpha build there are still [a number of known issues][3] and Gran Paradiso is not recommended for daily use. Still, the new milestone shows Firefox 3 is making steady progress toward a final release.

+Photoshop isn't high on most people's list of ways to hijack a computer, but that doesn't mean it's immune to security risks. Two new flaws have recently been found in venerable photo editing program, including one that allows the execution of arbitrary code.
+
+The latest vulnerability, according to Secunia, a security research firm, is caused by a [boundary error in the PNG Photoshop Format Plugin][1]. The flaw has been confirmed in CS2 and is believed to affect the new CS3 as well.
+
+That news comes on heals of an announcement last week that a flaw in the way Adobe Photoshop handles Bitmap files leaves it open to [exploitation via malicious BMP files][2].
+
+
+Technically these exploits are not limited to Photoshop, but affect any Adobe product using the plug-ins. Secunia reports that that the BMP exploit has been tested in the wild, but the PNG remains thus far only theoretical.
+
+Still, since Adobe has not released any patches yet, Secunia recommends that users not open untrusted .bmp or .png files.

+The Open BSD project has released a new update, bringing the seminal OS to version 4.1. Although not perhaps as well known as FreeBSD, which is the core component underlying Mac OS X, Open BSD is a popular OS in its own right.
+
+Version 4.1 brings a number of changes including increased hardware compatibility options which is one of the core focuses of Open BSD. Among the guiding principles of the project is this mantra:
+
+>No matter how nice an operating system is, it remains useless and unusable without solid support for a wide percentage of the hardware that is available on the market. It is therefore rather unsurprising that more than half of our efforts focus on various aspects relating to device support.
+
+However the new version isn't all about hardware there's also some significant improvements to the software as well. Open BSD 4.1 features an all new BSD-licensed <code>pkg-config</code> tool, which is a complete rewrite of the GNU tool of the same name.
+
+But let's face it, who's in it for the OS? The really great part about a new release of Open BSD is it means there's another of those patently cheesy songs to accompany it. Check out <em>[Puffy Baba and the 40 Vendors][2]</em>, nerdiness at its high or low point, depending on how you look at it.

While there are currently versions of OpenOffice that run under the X11 environment, there is no native version of OpenOffice for Mac.
+
+Sun had previously said that it would not actively contribute to the Mac OpenOffice project but in the [blog post announcing Sun's support][1], Philipp Lohmann, a developer at Sun writes that the increasing market share and community support of the Mac platform helped bring about the change of heart.
+
+>Why is Sun joining the Mac porting project? If you look around at conferences and airport lounges, you will notice that more and more people are  using Apple notebooks these days. Apple has a significant market share in the desktop space. We are supporting this port because of the interest and activity of the community wanting this port.
+
+Native OpenOffice support will be a boon to Mac users given that there is currently no compelling alternative to Microsoft Office for Mac. 
+
+We've looked at other MS Office alternative in the past, [including NeoOffice][2], but almost all of them have come up wanting. While OpenOffice is far from perfect, it is the most compelling alternative to MS Office on any platform.
+
+With Sun now behind the project, hopefully the somewhat stalled [Mac OpenOffice][4] port will get off the ground and deliver Mac users an alternative to the Microsoft bondage.

+Yahoo continues its drive into the realm of geo location data, adding [improved geo support][2] to the recently launched [Yahoo Pipes service][5]. The new features include the addition of interactive Yahoo Maps to the main page of any Pipe containing geodata. 
+
+In addition to the new maps Yahoo has added an output renderer which allows Pipes containing GeoData to be exported as a KML file. That means, using the KML data, Yahoo Pipes can now be viewed as a layer in Google Earth.
+
+If your favorite Pipe has geo data in it, there is a new link to near the bottom of the Pipe's page, in the "Tools" section, to download the KML file. 
+
+Obviously the geo data is really only useful for Pipes that are location oriented. The Yahoo announcement points to the [Apartment Near Something Pipe][3], which tracks apartment listings and shows surrounding businesses and other notable landmarks.
+
+Other cool examples include the [Photos Near Napa Wineries][4] (pictured above), a Pipe that annotates Yahoo Local results for Napa Wineries and includes images from Flickr that were taken nearby.
+
+In addition to our enhanced geolocation support, Yahoo add a couple other nice touches to Pipes, including inline editing for the "Title" and "Description" text of your Pipes and some improved date filtering options for sorting Pipes.

The Quicktime update is recommended for both Windows and Mac users and can be [downloaded from the Apple site][1].
+
+The Apple [security note][2] credits Dino Dai Zovi, the hacker who recently discovered the flaw, as well as TippingPoint and the Zero Day Initiative for the discovery of the flaw.
+
+It would seem that everybody wins in this scenario, Zovi took home the $10,000 prize and Apple patched the flaw giving Quicktime users a more secure platform, but security analysts Gartner industries is still unhappy.
+
+A [note on the Gartner site][3] reads:
+
+>Public vulnerability research and "hacking contests" are risky endeavors, and can run contrary to responsible disclosure practices, whereby vendors are given an opportunity to develop patches or remediation before any public announcements. Vulnerability research is an extremely valuable endeavor for ensuring more secure IT. However, conducting vulnerability research in a public venue is risky and could potentially lead to mishandling or treating too lightly these vulnerabilities -- which can turn a well-intentioned action into a more ambiguous one, or inadvertently provide assistance to attackers.
+	
+While there is some merit to what Gartner is saying, the fact is the flaws exist, and security through secrecy is nearly always a flawed approach. To argue that vender notification trumps user notification means that Gartner believes users are better off left in dark while the vender attempts to fix the problem. 
+
+In fact, notifying users that a problem exists alerts them to potential vulnerabilities. In this case once users were aware that the flaw existed they could exercise greater caution in downloading untrusted Quicktime Media.
+
+It's also worth noting that Gartner has a vested interest in maintaining insider knowledge of attacks, something they lose in public hacking contests.

+While Skype for Mac and Windows have been available for some time, Linux users have been largely left out until now. Yesterday Skype [released an alpha preview][1] for the upcoming Skype for Linux.
+
+Version 1.4 of Skype for Linux brings the software closer to a usable product and represents a major re-write from previous versions. 
+
+Unfortunately Skype's Linux client still lags behind its Windows and Mac counterparts. Video and SMS functionality remain missing, though Skype says that the audio quality is now on par with that of Mac and Windows.
+
+As you would expect from an alpha release, there are a number of [known issues][1] and Skype recommends that only advanced users download the test version. 
+
+In fact, the list of known issues is far to large to reprint here. 
+
+But if the known issues don't put you off and you're itching to take the plunge, here's the requirements breakdown from the Skype site:
+
+<blockquote>
+<ul>
+<li>Hardware
+
+<ul>
+<li>ALSA-supported sound device.</li>
+<li>Software</li>
+<li>glibc 2.4</li>
+</ul></li>
+<li>Software (for static release)

+
+The messenger window supports tabs so you can run multiple conversations in one window. There are also searchable archives of past conversations and the ability to import contacts from Windows Live Messenger accounts.
+
+Live Messenger works in Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, and Opera.
+
+For a nice overview of the new service check out the [Yahoo demo video][1].
+
+I had no problems using the new service, but the lack of support for other chat protocols (for some reason everyone I know is on AIM) is a bit of a deal breaker.

+A while back we [told you that HD-DVD had been cracked][4] to bypass the DRM. Well, proving once again that one man's technical feat is another's mashup art project, a Flickr user by the name of [Kastner][1] has created a collage page that [spells out the DRM bypass key using Flickr images][2].
+
+The impressive little photo mashup consists of PHP and Javascript which the author has made available to others. Naturally, by changing a few lines of code, you could spell out whatever you like.

+Paparazzi is a free Mac OX X screen capture application allows you to grab an entire webpage in a single image -- regardless of length. Unlike Apple's Grab and other screen capture application's we've reviewed, Paparazzi doesn't provide an interactive interface.
+
+Rather than dragging to select a portion of the screen, you must enter a URL and then define your image dimensions. The final output is an elongated image that shows the entire page in one view.
+
+In a particularly nice touch, Paparazzi will import bookmarks from both Safari and Camino, perfect for those that frequently need to grab a bookmarked URL.
+
+There are options that allow you to constrain the portions of the capture image, for instance the example image below was set to capture an area 800 pixels wide.
+
+If the page you'd like to capture has some animation and you'd like ensure that a particular frame of the animation shows up, Paparazzi can be set to capture on a timed delay.
+
+Once captured, Paparazzi displays a tiny preview image and offers the ability to save your screenshot in .jpg, .png, .pdf or .tiff format. There's also an option to simultaneously create a thumbnail image.
+
+Paparazzi probably won't fall in the daily use category for most people, but when you do need to grab a whole webpage, it sure beats piecing it together in Photoshop. And the results are great -- sharp, if somewhat large, full page images.

+<img alt="Silverlight" title="Silverlight" src="http://blog.wired.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/04/16/silverlight.jpg" border="0" style="float: right; margin: 0px 0px 5px 5px;" />Microsoft has unveiled a number of new details about [Silverlight][4] the company's new Flash competitor. In series of announcements at the ongoing Mix 07 conference, Microsoft revealed that portions of the new development platform would be open source. 
+
+The Dynamic Language Runtime (DLR) component of Silverlight will be open source. The DLR allows developers to write in dynamic languages like Ruby or Python but then compiles them into .NET code.
+
+Open Sourcing the DLR code seems to be aimed at drawing in outside developers and given that Adobe recently release large portions of Flash as open source projects, Microsoft's move seems almost inevitable. 
+
+At the same time the DLR aspects of .NET has been around for a while and so far it hasn't drawn in many outsiders. As such the announcement feels more like a PR move to combat Adobe's announcement, than a real directional shift.
+
+Other highlights from the Silverlight announcements at Mix include news that Silverlight include a mini-CLR (Common Language Runtime) meaning a subset of the .NET framework is now cross-platform and can run in the browser.
+
+By all account Silverlight is fast, very fast. Some of the better coverage, for those wanting to know more details, can be found at [TechCrunch][3] and [ZDNet][2].
+
+The CLR aspect of Silverlight is big news, for the first time .NET apps will have cross-platform support and in bringing .NET to the browser (almost all browsers) Microsoft has significantly changed its IE-only strategy. 
+
+Unfortunately for Silverlight Adobe is way ahead in this territory. Flash is nearly ubiquitous on the web and Silverlight is going to have some serious catching up to do.

+Open source projects pride themselves on the wisdom and effort of the crowd, but in the case of web cam drivers, one man has done what many could not. A lone French programmer by the name of Michel Xhaard is single handedly responsible for making [235 USB webcams available][1] to Linux users. 
+
+It seems remarkable in this day and age that no company has some along to support Xhaard's efforts, especially given the massive popularity of video conferencing tools.
+
+The Inquirer, a British tech site, discovered Xhaard's efforts recently and has a nice [interview on the site][2].
+
+When asked why no one has stepped in to support the project, Xhaard says, "my work is not 'Linux Kernel centred' my goal is to provided video input support for Linux users, and I am not sure that these big companies are interested in the end user."
+
+While that skepticism is not unfounded, I also suspect that many companies that might be interested in sponsoring Xhaard's work are simply unaware that it exists. So for those seeking webcam drivers, and also perhaps for companies looking to foot the bill for some hosting costs, we at Compiler offer this salute.
+
+While Steve Balmer may see Conrad's proverbial heart of darkness in open source, Xhaard remains a shiny example of why the movement works -- people want to make technology better.
