Adobe's Photoshop Elements 9 Editor is now available through Apple's Mac App Store for $79.99. Not only does that mean you'll pay less than retail price for the photo-editing app, but it also gives us hope that greater things could be coming to the Mac App Store soon.
As 9to5 Mac points out, Elements 9 is the first Adobe app to become available in the Mac App Store and this is significant because it suggests that the digital media software maker might consider expanding its offerings there.
Of course, this particular app could merely be an experiment on Adobe's part, too. After all, the company makes a significant profit from the sales of traditionally boxed software — and doesn't have to give Apple a cut when it takes that route. (Apple gets about 30% from software sales made through the Mac App Store.)
Either way, we're pretty excited to see a major software maker such as Adobe dip its toes into the Mac App Store at least a little bit.
If you purchase Photoshop Element 9 via the Mac App Store, you will get all the features — such as the content aware-fill, Group Shot, Panorama, and Style Match Photomerge tools — found in the plain ol' boxed version you can get from a retail store. But as Macworld noticed, you will not get the extra application normally bundled with the software:
The Mac App Store version of the application costs $80 and includes all the same editing tools as the full boxed version. However, unlike the full $100 version, it does not come bundled with the Adobe Elements Organizer application. This version is available only in English, and cannot be purchased anywhere outside of Apple's Mac App Store.
Hacker groupsAnonymousandLulzSechave issuedajoint statementin response to recentFBI arrests of suspected Anonymous membersthought to have carried out a cyberattack against PayPal in 2010.
In their release, the hackers addressed a statement made toNPRby Steven Chabinsky, deputy assistant FBI director. "We want to send a message that chaos on the Internet is unacceptable," Chabinsky told NPR. "[Even if] hackers can be believed to have social causes, it's entirely unacceptable to break into websites and commit unlawful acts."
The hacker collectives responded with a list of what they define as "unacceptable" practices:
* Governments lying to their citizens and inducing fear and terror to keep them in control by dismantling their freedom piece by piece.
* Corporations aiding and conspiring with said governments while taking advantage at the same time by collecting billions of funds for federal contracts we all know they can't fulfil.
* Lobby conglomerates who only follow their agenda to push the profits higher, while at the same time being deeply involved in governments around the world with the only goal to infiltrate and corrupt them enough so the status quo will never change.
With regards to the arrests of alleged members of Anonymous by the FBI, the hackers wrote, "Your threats to arrest us are meaningless to us as you cannot arrest an idea. There is nothing - absolutely nothing - you can possibly to do make us stop."
According to theAP, the FBI on Tuesday arrested 14 people across the United States and confiscated computers in connection with the PayPal attack. Another two were arrested for unrelated activities. In addition, Britain's Scotland Yard took into custody one person, and the Dutch National Police Agency arrested four.

Files Sharing Sites like Megaupload, Rapidshare has been Blocked In India to stop piracy. The block is implemented because of a court order from Reliance Big Pictures which is trying to stop piracy of their new release Singham. Popular Internet Service Providers MTNL, BSNL and Airtel users have confirmed this activity.
Reliance BIG Pictures got a “John Doe” order allowing them to service cease and desist notices on movie pirates pirating the film Singham, Mahesh Rangathantan, COO at Reliance Entertainment, told MediaNama. Singham is releasing in theatres tomorrow. What is unique about this order through, according to Big Pictures VP (Music and Anti Piracy) Sanjay Tandon, is that it also covers Internet Service Providers, and not just people selling pirated DVDs or cable operators. “A John Doe order is given against unidentified people, because the copyright owner doesn’t know who is going to infringe. We anticipate that certain entities are going to infringe, and the Delhi High Court has granted us a John Doe order,” Tandon said. Yesterday, Airtel Broadband users reported that several file sharing websites like MediaFire had been inaccessible,and a notice was displayed, stating that the site has been blocked on request of Department of Telecom. A traceroute search suggested that the block was instituted at Flag Telecom. Our readers also indicated that with certain other ISPs – Zylog and MTNL Triband – the file sharing sites were not accessible.
Tandon said that the order doesn’t necessitate blocking an entire website, but only that ISPs should not make the film Singham accessible: the order only pertains to the access of the film. “Our only appeal with this order is that you cannot make the film available through your network. It’s a matter for the ISPs to look into,because it becomes their liabiltiy.”
Here is List of the Websites Which has been blocked:-
Anonymous, a fairly high-profile hacker group, says that it has taken personal data through a Tennessee government website in retaliation for a controversial cyber-bullying law.
The group claims to have taken “personal but not harmful” information, including phone numbers and addresses, in an attack on the TN.gov site over the July 4 weekend that it’s calling “Operation Tennessee.” The data is available here, but since this is a hacker website, click the download at your own risk.
Anonymous says the action is retaliation for a new law that extends the state’s harassment statutes to cover images and messages posted through social media sites. The law has been a hot topic in online discussions, with critics saying its overly broad definitions could be applied to practically anyone who publishes an offensive image online. The state’s attorney general has been asked to weigh in on the matter.
