Fresh as always (and with no increased risk of cancer) the morning reboot:
- Adobe has released version 8 of their popular Acrobat Reader software. Among the list of new features are web-based collaboration (via Connect), shared reviews, enhanced search options and more.
- According to a new study, cell phones do not cause cancer. The study looked at 400,000 Danish cellular users, some of whom were tracked for two decades, and concluded that mobile phone usage did not increase the risk of cancer.
- MySpace is reportedly in talks with Cingular to put the popular social network on Cingular phones. The deal would give the millions of MySpace users mobile access to the site, but so far there are no details on pricing or features. But there's no risk of cancer.
- A serious new flaw has been found in Microsoft Word that allows an attack to excute malicious code when an infected Word file is opened. So far there's no patch and Microsoft recommends that you excercise caution when opening files from unknown or untrusted parties. See the above link for a list of effected versions.
- Microsoft is releasing Live Search Books today (not yet live as of 9 AM PST), a competitor to Google Book Search. The service is in beta at the moment and only available via a browser, but in the future MS plans to integrate Live Search Books in the the rest of Live Search.
- Yahoo has undergone a serious executive shuffle/shakedown. Check out the Epicenter Blog for some analysis on the changes.
