Apple doesn’t want Tiger users to feel left out of the day’s updating fun. They’ve released a special Safari 3.1.2 for Tiger update.
It’s sole purpose appears to be a WebKit update that prevents an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution while visiting a maliciously crafted website.
Whew! That’s a relief!

Digital Lifestyle Outfitters, a leading designer and seller of iPod and MP3 player accessories, announced today that it has filed a lawsuit against Belkin Corporation in the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina for patent infringement. The Complaint alleges, among other things, that Belkin has willfully infringed United States Patent No. 6,591,085 (’085 Patent), entitled “FM Transmitter and Power Supply/Charging Assembly for MP3 Player,” by importing, using, offering for sale and selling its product known as the “TuneBase FM.” Netalog’s lawsuit seeks injunctive relief, monetary damages and enhanced damages for willfulness. The lawsuit is in the early stages of discovery.
This is the second federal lawsuit instituted in the Middle District of North Carolina by Netalog to protect its ’085 Patent. In September 2004, Netalog filed a lawsuit against Griffin Technology, Inc. for, among other things, infringement of the ’085 Patent as a result of Griffin’s importing, using, offering for sale and selling of its product known as the “RoadTrip.” Netalog’s lawsuit seeks injunctive relief, monetary damages and enhanced damages for willfulness. Discovery has been completed in the lawsuit, and trial is currently scheduled for 2006.
Jeff Grady, President of Netalog, stated, “Netalog works hard every day to bring original new products to our customers and we take pride in our innovative creations. We are equally committed to vigorously defending our intellectual property against any infringement and will do so whenever necessary.”

This is the season for giving and receiving and the recently announced Hurricane Charity Art Auction gives us an opportunity to do a little of both. Until December 12, art lovers can bid on wonderful photography, illustrations and even a commission from a famous portrait artist at an auction hosted by the National Association of Photoshop Professionals. All the money raised through this auction will go to the Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund and the Salvation Army to help those who have been devastated by the horrible hurricanes this year.
Original prints from legendary photographers and artists like Moose Peterson, Bert Monroy (seen here) or Vincent Versace usually sell for thousands of dollars but will be available to bidders with starting prices as low as USD$100. By going to the auction and bidding, anyone can have the chance to donate to an incredibly worthy charity, gain a wonderful art print that they can cherish for the rest of their life, and get a nice tax deduction in the bargain. All the prints are unframed and range in size from 13″ X 19″ to 24″ X 28″.
