The Nightly Build: Wednesday January 31
The Nightly Build:
-
As someone who’s been writing about Vista in Parallels and how great it is, I was dismayed to learn that the EULA forbids the use of the Home Basic and Home Premium versions of Vista in virtual environments. Say what? The Parallels blog has more details.
-
Skype 2.5 for the Mac is finally out of beta. The official release adds support for SMS messaging, conference calling and more.
-
Now the Vista has been released the security exploits are starting to roll in. This one isn’t all that serious but it’s kind of funny. Apparently a flaw in the speech command system would allow malicious, um, yelling, to commandeer your computer. Expect this one to be popular on MySpace.

Earlier today I gave Flickr a hard time about their newly imposed limitations, but then I discovered something potentially much more disturbing. So far this is just a hysterical thread on Digg, but it seems that Yahoo is using Flickr photos on some of their public portals without the author’s permission. I don’t know for sure whether that’s legal or not under the respective TOSes, I’m not even sure whether Flickr is now governed by the Yahoo TOS or the old Flickr TOS. And how do the CC licenses you can apply to your photos fit into that? I’ll be digging into this one more tomorrow.
