GNU ddrescue – The Best Damaged Drive Rescue
When you rescue your data from a dying hard drive, time is of the essence. The longer it takes to copy your data, the more you risk losing. GNU ddrescue is the premium tool for copying dying hard drives, and any block device such as CDs, DVDs, USB sticks, Compact Flash, SD cards -- anything that is recognized by your Linux system as /dev/foo. You can even copy Windows and Mac OS X storage devices because GNU ddrescue operates at the block level, rather than the filesystem level, so it doesn't matter what filesystem is on the device.

LCPSoft Released a Cross-Platform Auditing Tool for Linux Passwords
LCPSoft has announced the release of a new product: JRecoverer for Linux Passwords 1.1.0. The program imports hashes of user passwords of various Linux distributors from a shadow file from a local computer or a remote computer using an SSH protocol, restoring original passwords using one of three methods.
The cornerstone of system security and user data protection is password security. In the Linux operating system, user passwords are stored not in an open format, but as hashes. If a user only knows the hash, he cannot restore the original password. It can, however, be matched, although this recovery method takes significantly longer.

Skype 5.0 for Linux Enters Beta with Video Call Support and Better Collaboration [Ed: The thugs who attack truth in Munich and try to tax GNU/Linux with software patents hand out new Trojan horses]
Microsoft announced that Skype 5.0 for Linux has entered Beta stages of development after being in Alpha for more than eight months, during which it received numerous builds that users were able to take for a test drive.
As you can see, not only that status of the application was changed from Alpha to Beta, which means that it should be more stable and reliable, but also the version number. Skype's version scheme was bumped to build 5.0 from 1.x, showing Microsoft's commitment to offer Linux users a modern VoIP client that's feature rich and on par with the Android, iOS, Mac, and Windows builds.
