*Shudder* Pearson... how much money do they suck out of schools a year? Smarter Balanced for us. All HTML5. Works on (almost) anything with a keyboard and a mouse.

All the states just got together and gave Pearson 186 million dollars to create a java based standardized test. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Matthew W.

In all seriousness, I'm all for HTML5 taking over Java and Flash. There is no reason for a web browser to require either plugin anymore, except for old software. And only if the old software was updated, I could happily remove both. --Matt Ross Ephrata School District Andrew S. Baker <[email protected]> , 4/29/2014 4:14 AM: Now you're cracking jokes...

You are confusing two Flash vectors. The zero day via Fireeye is CVE-2014-1776 http://www.fireeye.com/blog/uncategorized/2014/04/new-zero-day-exploit-targeting-internet-explorer-versions-9-through-11-identified-in-targeted-attacks.html The Flash patch below is a totally different Flash patch and it's from Adobe. http://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/flash-player/apsb14-09.html It's just via Microsoft becasuse they stuck Flash in their browser and thus they update it. *CVE number:* CVE-2014-0506, CVE-2014-0507, CVE-2014-0508, CVE-2014-0509 Two totally different issues. Microsoft will patch all supported browsers for the weekend zero day when it's ready. The flash patch is just a Flash update.
