Adobe Flash Player will no longer work on computers and devices that still supported the software. Adobe will block the program come January 12th, and Flash will not be available in major browsers. Companies like Microsoft and Facebook will also block Flash. Apple has already been doing it for years. The 2020 meme needs no …
Mars is almost certainly the next place in our solar system where humans will travel. We’re still many years from actually seeing mankind roaming the Red Planet, but with a number of high-powered instruments already hanging out around Mars and on its surface, we have a pretty good idea of what to expect once we …
Adobe is finally sending Flash to the server farm upstate. Major browsers like Chrome, Edge, and Safari all block Adobe Flash already, but the final nail is being driven into the coffin. By 2020, Adobe will fully end all support for Flash. ““We will stop updating and distributing the Flash Player at the end of …
It’s been years since Flash did anything useful, unless you count munching on all my RAM as ‘useful.’ Just like the Java plugin before it, Flash is dying a slow and ungraceful death, and Chrome is trying to help it on its way a little. In a blog post today, Google announced the next step …

Flash zero-day vulnerabilities are a dime a dozen these days, so you won’t be surprised to learn there’s another one in the wild. Microsoft and Adobe have independently found two distinct zero-day vulnerabilities for Internet Explorer and Flash, respectively, which means it’s time to update Windows and Flash. Apparently, exploits exist for both that allow for remote code …
Stop us if you’ve heard this one before… dozens of times. A very serious security flaw has been discovered in Adobe Flash and millions of users are impacted. The zero-day vulnerability allows hackers to exploit the flaw and crash a user’s system, or even take control of the system and steal private data. It’s one of …
One of the things Christmas brought us is a new Flash exploit that could let attackers take control of an affected system. That’s not necessarily a surprise, considering that Flash bugs are often discovered. Not to mention that some hackers choose Christmas and the holidays to attack computer users who might be busy with plenty …
With his “Thoughts on Flash” letter back in early 2010, late Apple CEO Steve Jobs waged a war on Adobe that the media couldn’t get enough of.
