Last week this was in HDD news:
I asked it before 6 months ago, and wonder: how long will it take for 12.5 mm 2.5 inch SATA HDDs to arrive on the market that have 1.5 TB or more capacity?
Yes, I know about the WD20NPVT, but the WD20NPVT is 2.5 inch and 15 mm high.

Last week, Adobe launched the monospaced Open Source font [Wayback] Source Code Pro designed by [Wayback] Paul D. Hunt.
It is a follow-up of the (also designed by Paul) [Wayback] Source Sans Pro family of Open Source Fonts which got released early last month.
I did a quick look to see if it would get the same number of vertical lines as Lucida Console does at 8 points.
- Lucida Console: 50 lines
- Source Code Pro: 40 lines
Too bad, as the general font design is awesome.
One big missing thing is italic/oblique, which is often used in code editors. Hopefully a future version will include those.
For embedding source code examples in documentation, it is very legible, so I will keep it installed on my system.
You can try Source Code Pro yourself as well: it is available [Wayback] on SourceForge – that also hosts [Wayback] Open@Adobe – [Wayback] on GitHub, where you can fork it, as well as [Wayback] on Google Web Fonts, [Wayback] on typekit, and [Wayback] on WebINK.

If I read Inappropriate Use of Adobe Code Signing Certificate my conclusion is that anything signed by the Adobe Code Signing Certificate since 2012-07-10 potentially can be malware.
As a precaution, I will manually revoke the certificate on all my systems (that’ll take a while!). If anyone knows how to automate that process, please post a comment showing how to.
Hitching on a trusted certificate of a big software company comes close to the ultimate hack: trojaning signed malware in the distribution of an OS vendor.
