iPhone PDF Patch, Mac Pros, iPhone Head Leaves

Apple came out with a minor but notable software update this week. iOS 4.0.2 for the iPhone and 3.2.2 for the iPad patched a flaw in the way PDF files are displayed. This flaw was used as a method of jailbreaking the devices, but could also have been used for malicious purposes.
Adobe also released a minor but notable update. The Mac Flash player now uses graphic card acceleration in video playback. This should make video smoother on higher-end Macs.
And speaking of higher-end Macs, the Mac Pro models announced in July are now available for order in the online Apple Store. Quad-core models start at $2,500 and a 12-core variation starts at $5,000.
Late last week there was a bit of a shake-up at Apple when Mark Papermaster, the head of the iPhone and iPod division, left the company. Some speculate that this may be fallout over the iPhone 4’s antenna issue. But Apple hasn’t commented on the change.
