Well I must say thank you for all the efforts Windows Update Service made to my life and how it saved my toy……Why?

Cause I have noticed for a long time, no matter what kind of software(what I have called software, is just not only a small tool but what can be called as software, and may not always be the huge guy like Microsoft Office Package, but sometimes is just the Blackberry Desktop Manager etc.) I have loaded, it keeping on give me an update soon after that, which keeps my toy most update to date, or in the other word, keeps it patched and patched……

While which also made me cann’t help thinking, IF one day, which is extremely possible to happen one day, when the Windows Update Service is not available(Thanks god, MS update so far still ranks first with a hundred rate), or my toy’s Windows Update Service walks out, or …… how can it be??

Horrible? Or what ‘s above is just a guesswork after tea……

All I want to say is still thanks those people who are keeping the Windows Update Services up and running for all the time…no matter it is the update/patch for Windows, Softwares or patch itself~~ Well done and cheers up~~

Research in Motion Ltd., maker of the popular BlackBerry handset, on Friday issued a patch to plug a vulnerability in its BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) solution. The vulnerability could allow hackers to enter into a network via a maliciously crafted PDF file.

The hotfix was distributed via a cluster of updates to BES systems. It's designed to remedy a bug in the PDF distiller function of BlackBerry's attachment mechanism, which enables users to open up documents from the mobile device.

The exploit enabled a remote code execution attack if the user opened up corrupt Adobe or other PDF-type files.

Research in Motion's advisory proposes that network administrators working within a Windows enterprise environment update to BES Version 4.1, Service Pack 6 for Microsoft's Exchange Server.

Using the new patch is much safer than relying on workarounds, according to one network security expert reacting to the news. For instance, relying on updating the BlackBerry Unite software -- an application that can be loaded onto the handset to detect and clean potentially infected files -- isn't the most optimal solution.

"It looks like they [Research in Motion] may have solved the problem for now by what they did [on Friday] because it's very tricky to sanitize these files on the client side," said Kevin Gillis, vice president of product management for IPswitch, a network monitoring, file transfer and messaging software firm in Lexington, Mass. "It's much better to do it on the server side so that the carrier-class scanner is more effective in this case."

Gillis added that the bigger issue now for companies will be reacting to the downtime that may have been caused by putting a temporary moratorium on sending PDFs via the handset, as some enterprises may have done while awaiting the patch.

"You have people sending presentations, graphs and charts all the time over these phones and while the problem is serious enough to wipe out the devices' whole memory storage, I think this is a reminder of why disaster recovery solutions and best practices are important too," he said.

差不多过了一个礼拜了，不知您的 MobileMe 服务如何了呢？据说好像很不顺利是吧？大约是在昨天吧！苹果正式对于这些零零总总的问题，以邮件的方式，来向诸位 MobileMe 使用者道歉、解释，同时还提供了 30 天的额外延长服务作为补偿。
根据信中的内容，苹果还蛮坦白的跟使用者承认，从 .Mac 转移到 MobileMe 这件事情，似乎没有一开始想象的这么顺利，不过现在整个服务已经恢复正常了；不过另外有个小小卖药嫌疑（注：夸大不实）的地方，就是现在苹果开始使用大量的『推』来形容该服务，不是乡民的推，而是实时数据更新的推。
或许在 iPhone 跟电脑之前确实有数据推来推去更新的功能，可是 MobileMe 本身的更新时间，实测的结果还是需要十五分钟，这跟推还是有点距离；另外现在还是有人遇到邮件、iPhone 跟电脑间同步的问题（重复邮件、删除还留在收件夹），另外服务介绍中，电子邮件地址输入会自动完成的这个功能也是完全不管用（应该是只要在联络人中或是曾经寄送过的邮件，输入个几个字就会自动把后面补完），同时行事历也还有无法删除、移动事件的问题存在。
