  1. Anonymous is the least of their worries... on Anonymous Posts Audio of Intercepted FBI Conference Call · · Score: 5, Insightful

    After all, if what amounts to a few script-kiddies can get this deep into confidential material, how much more material can a determined, knowledgeable, and well-funded adversary get?

  2. Plaintext user data storage? on Major Security Holes Found In Mobile Bank Apps · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Let's not get so excited about the future that we forget the mistakes of the past folks....

  3. wow, this is brilliant on HP Gives Printers Email Addresses · · Score: 1

    although I think they're not seeing the paper for the print.... if they really want to capitalize on cartridge replacement, they should make printers that print both the text, and the page; kind of like 3d printers. They could market it as 'earth-friendly' while driving the cost (and profit margin) of each page up exponentially. Of course, if I had a printer like this, I'd be printing 20's and 100's...

  4. The real winners here are on Font Foundries Opening Up To the Web · · Score: 1

    the disabled. One of the best reasons for using web-fonts is the corresponding removal of text content from images, which were done to work around the lack of good web fonts. Search engines will also be a bit more accurate, so in a sense everybody wins.

  5. I'm still not getting this 'buggy' claim on Steve Jobs Publishes Some "Thoughts On Flash" · · Score: 1

    I don't use a mac all the time, but on the other hand, I can't think of a single instance in which Flash caused my browser or the machine to crash. Somebody else posted that they've looked at crash reports in Safari and discovered that they were all from flash plugin which may be true, but I've certainly never had that experience on a mac, and absolutely not on a pc. If that is the case, then how is that solely the fault of Flash plugin, when flash plugin works perfectly fine on other macs? When you take into account the recent change on their App store developers agreement, the hypocrisy in this press release reaches a staggering new level.

  6. reminds me of Aliens on World's Fastest Robot Versus the Wiimote · · Score: 5, Funny

    Bishop, do the knife thing again...

  7. Re:Kids will be kids on Venezuela Bans Hostile Videogames and Toys · · Score: 1

    Tomorrow's News: Sticks and other materials now banned in venezuela

  8. I could be wrong, but I believe it's: on 94 New Species Described By CA Academy of Sciences · · Score: 1

    "Fish". I believe the plural of fish is fish.

  9. Really? on Hacker Destroys Avsim.com, Along With Its Backups · · Score: 1

    "The method of the hack makes recovery difficult, if not impossible, to recover from,"
    should read:
