Seth Godin at the Business of Software Conference (Video)

I’m shamelessly stealing from Joel Spolsky now: If you’ve ever heard Seth [Godin] speak, you’ve had your mind blown. Which is why, on the rare occasion, when he runs a one-day seminar, he charges $1650 to attend, and it sells out in seconds. A while ago I said I was going to blog more personally, [...]

Cold Boot Attacks On Encryption Keys

When I first heard about cold boot attacks I thought this was another disconnected-from-reality-cannot-be-used-in-real-life kind of research, but after watching the video on the Princeton University website I realized that this is a real problem.
