"Seems that Adobes efforts of curbing hacking if their software didn't work out so well."
Not real disturbed. Adobe's treatment of CF, their constant barrage of updates for flash and acrobat, and some new info have made me less than a fan. Have you heard about Adobe's New Tracking software aimed at government? Here's a white paper about it: http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/solutions/government/pdfs/govt-insight_whitepaper.pdf Basically, it appears that Adobe is using its acquisition of omniture to make a package for government agencies that does everything government agencies have said that they won't do. The second issue is that the data is in a multitude of disparate data types. Transactional data that provides information about events, such as credit card purchases, the details of a cell phone call, or an airline flight booking. There is also streaming data, or a continuous flow of log-type information that follows movement, such as a web log that streams information on what a user is doing—every page visited, every click, every item viewed, and so forth. Lastly, unstructured data is constantly being generated¸ such as blogs, comments on articles, discussion forums, email, and other socially driven communication and commentary. Combining these disparate data types into one common environment for analysis is a daunting task. Summary Faced with the daunting task of having to bring together volumes of disparate data for swift analysis, intelligence analysts have a number of analytic technologies to choose from. These different technologies possess both strengths and limitations, depending on the analysis needs and types of data involved. However, for government intelligence analysts who require near real-time results, rapid data integration, and sophisticated analysis, many of the analytic technologies fall short in meeting their rapidly evolving needs. Adobe Insight is a solution that enables intelligence analysts to glean valuable information from vast volumes of constantly changing data and accelerates intelligence to the speed of thought. Tracking website visits, emails, credit card transactions, and so on. Oh my. More food for thought: Adobe just opened a new facility in Lehi, Utah. It's about 7 miles from the new NSA data warehouse. I have read that they are hiring like crazy, if anyone needs a job.
