Landscape Pro isn't something for your garden. Instead, it's a new application that will improve your photos, and not only landscape photos. If you'd like to look like a video or HTML5 genius, Adobe's free on-line Spark application will do the trick and, if you're a Creative Cloud member, you'll get some extra benefits. In Short Circuits: Tis the season ... for fraud with a capital F. You'll find brazen attempt to separate your money from you can creep into even generally safe areas like Amazon. Fraud fighter Malwarebytes has combined all of its products into a single application that does everything its separate applications did before, and it threatens to displace standard anti-virus applications. Yahoo has admitted yet another breach of its security system. This time it's one billion records and it happened three years ago! In Spare Parts (only on the website): Replacing passwords with eyeballs, a small tablet that might be willing to take a bullet for you, and a look at how widespread malware is on popular websites.
