TidBITS#982/15-Jun-09

As the excitement dies down from Apple’s WWDC announcements, we’re once again flitting among topics. Rich Mogull draws on his years of security analyst work to offer five suggestions for how Apple could improve Mac and iPhone security, made all the more timely by Apple finally fixing a 9-month-old Java vulnerability today. Rich also explains how you might be able to get better upgrade pricing on an iPhone 3G S, Doug McLean reveals that the new 13- and 15-inch MacBook Pros can boot from their new SD card slots and examines the world of artistic iPhone photography, Glenn Fleishman looks at the latest Wi-Fi SD card from Eye-Fi, and Adam reviews a tool that lets you post photo links to Twitter from within iPhoto. We also cover the release of Microsoft Office 2008 12.19 and 2004 11.5.5, and glance at the releases of Firefox 3.0.11, Script Debugger 4.5.3, and 1Password 2.9.19.
