Great post Richard. It always left you wondering what was going on when Acrobat kept 100% of your CPU well after the time you closed Firefox (yes, I know it is a bug) -- but still??
You might want to run tcpdump, when opening some pdf's with acrobat...
You have to wonder just how many more of these glamor tools actually do quite a bit more that you are aware they are. That's why I'm glad we have so many hardware/network guys on the list that just love to sit around playing with lsof and netstat for hours on end ;p
The damning part of it, even on linux, Firefox and other browsers (Opera as well) pop up pages telling you to "Upgrade to the latest version of Flash", "Download it here _link_to_adobe_site_"
It sounds like we all may have been agreeing to alot more that met the eye in those license agreements. Damn lawyers...
