GameTrailers has posted a new Wolfenstein motion comic. We’re not quite sure how to feel about it really. Sure, it’s nice to see B.J. Blazkowicz doing what he does best. We also like that Wolfenstein ’s famous chain gun-wielding Hitler once again gets what he deserves. Still, the whole thing is just so cheesy

Dropzone is a utility described by its developers as “the Swiss Army knife of drag and drop for the Mac.” That’s definitely accurate, because with Dropzone in your Dock, you can quickly do just about anything you’d want to with a file. You can install apps, upload pics to Flickr, save text, open something in Skitch and more, all by dragging and dropping. Even better, it’s got an API, and there are already some useful user-contributed actions you can install. If you’re a die-hard command line junkie, this app is probably not for you, but if you’re the typical Mac user who gets a lot done with the mouse, it could be just what you’re looking for to speed up your tasks. There have been individual apps for some of these actions (iike Flickr or FTP uploads) for a long time, and it’s an even better deal when they’re combined into one.

In a discussion with tech.blorge.com , David Hall, who is Symantec’s Product Manager for Asia-Pacific Consumer Products and Solutions, voices his concerns over the popularity of free antivirus programs. “People tell me, ‘oh well look I use free antivirus because it is free and it protects me from everything in those areas,’ but when you compare that with what’s really going on in the threat landscape, there is a very, very big gap between what antivirus does and the threats that are being delivered today.” He later continues, ” attackers are not necessarily only targeting the web browser. Think about all the plug-ins you have installed on your machine – RealPlayer, Flash, QuickTime – all of these have vulnerabilities too.” Yes, the threats we face on the Internet have changed over the years and In some respects, Hall is correct. Like many of you, I no longer rely only on AV software. It’s a starting point in keeping my systems protected. I also use a firewall, OpenDNS or a hosts file blocker , and browser addons like NoScript and NoFlash. For added protection, I’ll use Sandboxie (and sometimes Windows SteadyState )
