Adobe Releases Flash Player Update

Adobe has released an update for Flash Player that addresses some critical vulnerabilities in cases where unscrupulous individuals would try to deliver malicious code through a SWF (Flash file).  Since Nxtbooks are only created by Nxtbook Media and its resellers, no malicious files or code will ever be distributed through Nxtbook Media’s sites. However, most of us come into contact with Flash files many times throughout the day, so it’s always a good idea to protect yourself with updated versions of software.

On a more upbeat note - and far more relevant to Nxtbook publishers and readers - this new version of Flash Player also includes some new features, including better audio and video support.  From Adobe’s release notes:

Of key importance, this update adds H.264 video and High Efficiency AAC (HE-AAC) audio codec support that opens up a broad ecosystem and selection of standards-based video — up to HD quality — that developers can leverage in their applications. The update also features hardware accelerated, multi-core enhanced, full-screen video playback for high-resolution viewing across major operating systems and browsers.

So, what are you waiting for, upgrade Flash Player now!
