We know that in these days we have small electronic items that have more processing power than the massive computers we had only a few decades ago. Look at our phones, music players, sat navs, microwaves and washing machines as examples. Now let us look at photocopiers. We now the are more sophisticated, they [...] As the voting comes to a close and the many sheets of paper are opened and examined, verified and counted it makes you wonder when we will bring voting up to date. We have the technology now to make voting electronic, with PKI infrastructure to ensure it is secure and kept from any abuse, [...] When goverments, especially authorative ones like ours, starts to dictate laws that are stupid or unreasonable we as rebellious children like to screw them over and show how inneffective they are. This latest law from the Music and Film distributors, via our ever vigilant government, is just one of many such laws. So, before [...] 12 billion plus just doesn’t buy the security it used too. Security needs to be built in from the design up. Adding it later doesn’t always cut it.

It’s new browser, Chrome, stores a unique identifier so it can report back browsing habits. Google has agreed to remove it. I wonder though what happens if the user doesn’t upgrade. Does it still report back? They should be fined for violating privacy [...] You have got to laugh. It seems that a former Google employee who in response to the claim that Google was infringing privacy said ‘net privacy is only for miscreants’ has been outed by his own software displaying links he did not want others to see. Excellent. Couldn’t happen to a better fellow. In [...] When I was a lad most hackers used to use malformed data, either via code injection, or supplied as a run file to get applications to overflow or crash and run code they had supplied bypassing all security protocols and gaining control of the system.
