Java Update Available! Yay, there goes my Friday night.

Version 22 it says. What could they have improved or fixed. Let's see....
----------------------------------------------------
Welcome to Java
Java provides safe and secure access to the world of amazing Java content.
From buiness solutions to helpful utilities and entertainment, Java makes your internet

----------------------------------------------------
Okay, first let me glance over the 'on what we do collect' part.
----------------------------------------------------
Well, it seems safe enough. I'll go ahead and let it install but I won't be
accepting any toolbars or letting them set my default home page on my
browser. This is where you have to stay alert and not get in any hurry or
they will screw things up for you. Well, here goes....Oh, no, they are touting
the Carbonite Backup again. I wonder how much Adobe is getting for this.
I have my own backup program thank you very much. You have to uncheck
the check box to not allow them to install the 30 day free trial. I prefer Acronis
myself. Online backups are just another monthly bill. You could buy yourself a
hard drive dock which plugs into your USB port and use any backup software
to make your backups. I have two 1tb drives that I do redundant backups on.
I also hae a network storage box with two 1tb drives that are set up in RAID
fashion. So, on it goes...the next pop-up window is offering Open Office. I
already have it but use M/S office instead. Okay, now I am forced to restart
my broswer, no way out of it. This is the shit I hate with these companys. Wasting
my damn time. I'll end this post here for now.

Adobe Flash Update, it never stops, just like Microsoft's Updates

I guess it's just a part of routine for pc users such as myself. You logon to your desktop and wham, up pops an update. You can close the window by clicking on 'Later' or whatever but you know that eventually you need to do this to stay protected. Today I get an update but what bothers me about this one today is the update is dated for Septemeber 20th, 2010. Today is October 10, 2010. I usually just go ahead and let the updates install as they don't take very long to do and I'd rather get it over with rather than worry about my computer security. It's always best to go direct to the website to look for updates. You could get one of these update notifications from a hacker I suppose. I've got a great antivirus package installed so I don't worry about that very much. I like to challenge AVG Internet Security besides and it hasn't failed me yet.
So, here's the link to the info on this patch and I'll include a screenshot pic of the update also. I'll be tracking these updates and how often they occur here on my blog.

I'm I having trouble trying to get this pic to be centered, having clicked on X-large, this is what I get. Sorry. Bugs in the blog I suppose, no time to report or complain about it to the Google folks today though.

If you're interested in programming Flash, here is a link to Amazon books.
