Website of the Week #6

Two Websites of the Week - pick your poison.

1) MIT's Open Courseware site provides you with over 1,800 courses that they've offered over the past several years. Resources ranging from lecture notes, to student papers, to filters for audio/video lectures are available on the site. No registration is necessary - just click and go.

Tip of the week:

Adobe Reader Vulnerability

There is an exploit that exists for Adobe Reader versions 8.1.2 and lower. I'd recommend updating to version 9 (at least on your home computers).
