Adobe Warns of Critical Zero-Day Vulnerability in Reader and Acrobat Products | SecurityWeek.Com. I’m coming to the conclusion that the less Adobe you have the more secure your computer is. I bet they have as many security vulnerabilities as Windows. Perhaps they need a Trusted Computing Initiative of their own?
Sleeping problem with OS X Lion?: Apple Support Communities. Good solution to this problem, but a better solution is what hoongern suggested.
As has been noted by a few people here and there, running “pmset -g assertions” from the
terminal will let you know what is preventing your OS from sleeping
It ranges from file sharing to printer sharing to remote SSH users, etc.
Also, the conditions which prevent a computer from sleeping can vary depending on whether the computer is on AC, or running on battery, which is why some people have solved their issue by unplugging their computer first.
I also made a small app to help with diagnosing the problem, if anyone is interested. Source code is provided. If you don’t trust it, just use “pmset -g assertions”.
Hope Apple fixes it soon.
Installing Flash on mbp (shipped with…: Apple Support Communities. I haven’t ever had a problem with Flash or Java being unsafe but I keep things constantly updated. I have had many mac virus that have used JavaScript to launch into my computer. Turning off JavaScript is a very helpful thing if you want to be safe. a brody suggests the following:
Flash is as safe as Adobe makes it. There are occasional security updates regarding it. Some animated websites require it, while others do not. Play around with websites and see if any really needs it that you really need access to. If you find some do, you should also recommend they consider switching their Flash to HTML5, which eats up less processor cycles, and because it is maintained by the open source community is more likely to be secure. Don’t click on animated advertisements and banners, unless you are absolutely certain they are legit. Don’t believe any popup saying you should install asking you to install anti-virus software. Just close those windows with the red button in the upper left corner and proceed going through websites. If they make a window you can’t close, bookmark any sites you are on, and quit the web browser.
Several suggestions on this thread to fix the issue. The user Scenario fixes his own problem. I wonder if this is a reference to Bill Maxwell?
I tracked it down to a problem in my Network settings. Somehow after upgrading to Lion, I had to reenter my custom DNS server settings to use Google’s (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). After doing that, Software Update worked. Apparently one can be on the internet just fine, but not entirely to Software Update’s liking.
All is well now– CS3 does indeed run under Lion. (Whew!)

Lion Will Not Recognize Permissions…: Apple Support Communities. Looks like the upgrade to Lion breaks part of flash. No surprise there. NeilShapiro even updates his own question:
OK, found that Adobe knows about this bug and says it will be fixed. Meanwhile. Here is the link to the Adobe bug report:
