Recently, I upgraded the standard Palm mail application Versamail on my Treo to version 4.0.1 build 77. It contains improvements with Gmail IMAP and Exchange Activesync.
Rasim Ljajic — Serbia's minister overseeing cooperation with ICTY — says Ratko Mladic will be arrested by the end of 2009. He says there is new evidence on the movement of Mladic and other fugitives, and newly established coordination between Serbian civilian and military security services.
Adobe announced that a vulnerability exists in its Flash Player 10.0.12.36 (and earlier). The exploit requires you to load a malicious Shockwave Flash file (this could also be embedded in a malicious website) that can then execute code with full user privileges.
You should update to version 10.0.22.87 for all browsers that you have installed.
Adobe has the bad habit of trying to get you to use the Google Toolbar. If you don't want this be sure to clear the check box for that on the download page. Also, in Internet Explorer you should close all other windows and tabs other than the download window or the installation may silently fail. (In that case you would not see the new version number after the installation.)
After the update, read this blog post on how to verify/change your Flash Player privacy settings.
If you don't know what version you have, you can simply go to this Adobe page to check.
The Yugoslavia war crimes tribunal acquitted Serbia's ex-president Milan Milutinovic of war crimes. Judge Iain Bonomy said the tribunal was not convinced he made a significant contribution to the "joint criminal enterprise". Milutinovic was cleared on all five counts against him and ordered to be released from detention.
Bosnia-Herzegovina warned Serbia Belgrade it might take retaliatory measures against Serb citizens over crimes committed during the 1992-1995 war. Serbia announced earlier it issued arrest warrants for 19 officials on war crimes charges.
ICTY fugitive Ratko Mladic supposedly spent 15 days in Rezevici at the Montenegrin seaside, in 1997. He rented a large two-story house and was surrounded by ten security guards. He supposedly cut his vacation short and returned to Belgrade out of fear of his arrest.
Serbian police have warrants for 19 persons suspected of war crimes committed in a hospital and army barracks in Sarajevo and an attack on a column of former Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) troops withdrawing to a barracks during the 92-95 war.
One of the 19 is Ejup Ganic, a wartime Muslim member of the Bosnia-Herzegovina presidency.
The EU's chief prosecutor in Kosovo is scheduled to meet Serbian war crimes prosecutor Vladimir Vukcevic March 5, 2009. Vukcevic is said to press for the handover of three former ethnic Albanian rebels who it said were hiding in Kosovo and wanted by Belgrade. The three avoided arrest when ten other former KLA fighters were arrested in December. Kosovo authorities have demanded that Serbia release the group.
EU minsters did not reach a decision whether to send a delegation to Serbia to assess the country's cooperation with the ICTY. Czech foreign minster Karel Schwarzenberg said "we have to keep in mind that the final decision about full co-operation between Serbia and The Hague court will be made by Brammertz."
Italian foreign minister Franco Frattini was quoted as saying that it was unjust for one EU member to block the Stabilization and Association Agreement with Serbia, referring to the Netherlands.
Serbia's government said it considers its negotiations with the US about the case of Miladin Kovacevic a secret. The daily Borba reported that the Serb government had offered $900,000 to the victim Steinhauer, triggering outrage by some in Serbia.
In another example of a different Russia increasingly showing its teeth, a Russian coast guard ship sank The New Star, a Sierra Leone-flagged cargo ship that just left Nakhodka (far east Russia). Eight of the crew from China and Indonesia died when their open raft sank in stormy waters.
The vessel intended to deliver a shipment of rice at the end of January but the purchaser refused due to poor quality. The ship's owner — Hong Kong-based J-Rui Lucky Shipping — said the ship left harbor February 12 without permission because authorities were dragging their feet.
Cradlepoint released firmware version 2.3.0 for the CTR350 mobile router. It includes support for new modems and several (minor) features.
Before you upgrade, make sure you save your current configuration (Tools tab, Admin, Save and restore configuration). Then perform the firmware upgrade (Tools tab, Firmware) and restore the previous configuration. In firmware version 2.3.0 the ability to automatically restore settings has been disabled due to a bug.
