Amazon has announced that affiliates can now earn 10% on Unbox referrals. There is no limit to the number of items on which referral fees are earned. Building links to Amazon Unbox downloads is the same as linking other products on Amazon. Below is a description of Unbox from Amazon:

Amazon Unbox allows you and your site visitors to purchase or rent your favorite movies and TV shows to download and watch on your PC – all in DVD quality. High-quality video downloads are the next big thing and Amazon Associates can be a part of this exciting innovation.

Seems to me that Amazon is a bit late in the game as the Apple iTunes store has been doing the tv downloads for a while now. Apple also offers an affiliate program for iTunes, not sure how well it does though.

So yesterday’s MOAB (MOAB-23-01-2007) was a memory corruption within QuickDraw that Mr. LMH has reported. I also had found this same issue along with a few (10) other .pct flaws back in May of 2006. So I figured I would release my advisories as well. A couple of them are below..

• A group of Chinese dissidents and others are creating a site called Wikileaks for the untraceable leaking of government documents. Wikileaks has already gotten allot of attention even though the site has not yet even launched. Doesnt sound like a very noble effort to me.
• Apple Inc. releases security update 2007-001 which fixes a buffer overflow in QuickTime’s handling of RTSP URL’s. This flaw was published on the Month of Apple Bugs website (MOAB-01-01-2007). I wish Apple would fix my issues this fast.
• Its official, Blu-Ray DRM has been cracked. Janvitos has decrypted a full Blu-Ray movie without even owning any Blu-Ray equipment. This is very embarrassing for Sony. You can download BackupBluRay here…
