Hardware, Onboard security solutions.

On: Intel Buys McAfee

Intel was trying to develop a solution to enable Protected Execution. A hardware mechanism against attacks by software. A large chunk of that $7.7billion might be a talent acquisition to go ahead in this field. Enterprise security might be a good field, since Intel already has the user base in the form of installed hardware, and a near monopoly.

On: Cell Phone Tracking Reveals Users' Habits

Ah. I should have clarified. I didn't read it on slashdot, of course [ I thought that'd be obvious. But I should have realized that there are trolls around] So here's where I read this article. Three days earlier. http://www.nature.com/news/2008/080604/full/news.2008.874.html?s=news_rss The online edition of the well-known scientific journal. And this was on June 4th. @ somersault : How did you guess?...
