A few weeks ago, I couldn’t care less about Diablo III. This was a rather shallow opinion: I had never played the previous two Diablo games, so I was just going on appearances. Many of my friends seemed really excited about it, though, so when an open beta became available for a weekend, I took the opportunity to try it out.
Adobe Charging for Security Update
Update: Presumably due to the amount of notoriety it received for this, Adobe has decided to release an update to CS5 that includes the fixes for this vulnerability.
Adobe posted a security bulletin earlier this week which describes vulnerabilities in Photoshop CS5 that, if exploited, would allow arbitrary code execution. There are no known attacks exploiting this vulnerability, so if this is now fixed, it’s not a very big concern.
And it is fixed, but only in Photoshop CS6, a paid upgrade that was only just released.
RubyMotion: Ruby for iOS
RubyMotion is a new software development package for making iOS apps with Ruby. Just looking over their site, there’s a lot to like, especially if you’re the type who’s not so fond of Xcode, although I would personally disagree.
Das Keyboard
A Das Keyboard is one of those things I always wanted, but wouldn’t actually purchase. $130 is not a small amount of money for a college student to spend on a keyboard, so it was always to easy to dismiss as something I didn’t really need.
Bastion
Bastion is currently 60% off on Steam. It’s an incredibly fun game that got attention for having a dynamic and reactive narrator describing your actions as you do them. Beyond that, it’s beautiful action RPG with an excellent soundtrack.
It’s certainly worth the $6 it’s going for right now, but it’s well worth the $15 it normally goes for if you miss the sale or just want to send a little more to support Supergiant Games.
