With Halloween fast approaching, there will undoubtedly be countless new memories being captured of all the scary costumes, silly face paint, jack-o-lanterns and good times filling up the storage space of millions of Americans and Canadians. MacNN and Electronista want you to have some fun with those memories, so we have teamed up with PearlMountain software to give away free copies of Picture Collage Maker Pro and Picture Collage Maker for Mac to all of our readers.

For Windows users, we have Picture Collage Maker Pro. This software title offers a wide array of professional templates that can be used to create personalized collages for scrapbooks, calendars, greeting cards, picture frames, DVD covers and more. Resize, drag and change the position of clipart, as well as add and modify text to make it more fun. There are also various background patterns and color fills for further customization. There is also a basic version of Picture Collage Maker that hasa slightly shorter list of features, and a slightly-smaller MSRP of $29 (as opposed to the Pro retail price point of $39) but since we have both available for free, we would suggest trying them both out and deciding for yourself what's best for you!

Mac owners get a free copy of Collage Maker for Mac, which is the equivalent of Collage Maker Pro for Windows with a Mac-friendly face. Chose from more than 150 templates, personalize and customize collages however you see fit with birthday, wedding, yearbook anniversary and holiday themes. Change size and orientation as well as drag and drop photos from iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom and more. This title retails for $39, but just like with the Windows version, it is completely, 100 percent free for the next week for our readers.

So thanks for reading MacNN and Electronista, and enjoy this Halloween gift from us. Until October 24, every single one of you is eligible to download a copy of this software!

Halloween Giveaway: Free Collage Maker software for all!

Hackers have shaken the free-software movement that once symbolized the Web's idealism.

Several high-profile attacks in recent months exploited security flaws found in the open-source software made by volunteers collaborating online, building off each other's work.

First developed in the 1980s, open-source software has become so pervasive that it powers global stock exchanges, the International Space Station and, according to researcher International Data Corp., appears on about 95 percent of computers and servers.

Attacks this year using flaws nicknamed Heartbleed and Shellshock have some programmers suggesting that corporations or even the government should provide more money or programing help. That idea doesn't go over easily among grass-roots developers who want to remain true to the ideals of a do-it-yourself movement.

It's going to be a wake-up call for a lot of people to understand why we aren't auditing this software better, said Greg Martin, founder and chief technology officer of Threat Stream Inc., a cybersecurity company based in Redwood City, Calif. Everybody's been scratching their heads and saying, How could we miss this?'

Yahoo, Facebook

Open-source advocates say their programming code is more secure than proprietary software because developers are constantly fixing flaws found by users. Critics say the open nature of the software leaves it vulnerable to hackers because the programing flaws are out in the open for all to see.

In either case, some say the fix should come from the companies that build products off the free software.

Technology companies such as Yahoo! Inc., Facebook Inc. and Google Inc. are saving huge amounts of money using open-source, and they should invest much more money in trying to secure these systems, said Jaime Blasco, director of labs for AlienVault, a San Mateo, Calif.-based security company.

Facebook, based in Menlo Park, Calif., said in a statement it is a leading and committed contributor to the open-source community, having started projects to secure Google Android and Apple Inc. devices.
