It didn't last long, I guess (from article): "Update: In an Aug. 7 presentation at DEF CON, another researcher showed how he'd defeated most of the security precautions on the August Smart Lock.".
Not sure what "most of the security" pertains to, though.
Here's the thing. It's a major event so they cannot really change that. They have to drink the water or we'll have a huge anomaly, which is pretty much always bad.
I've now tried both of them and I'm sorry to say the Kindle wins by far. Both can read PDF files and shows up in Linux as usb mass storage devices, which is great and what I was after.
But, the Iliad has 2 major shortcomings for my use.
1. It cannot be charged over USB. I needs a power supply. A short usb-cable I can live with, but I'm not gonna lug around a power supply everywhere I go. 2. It takes a good 60 seconds to boot up. It feels like an eternity. If I want to read a book I'm not gonna sit looking at it for a whole minute before I open the covers!
If I change the URL to use https instead of http, it redirects me to the google.no searchpage.
If I use the Inbox link to go to my gmail page, then it does not use https! It does so for my account settings, so gmail shouldn't be much of a problem.
I have been using a RollerMouse for over a year now at work and it has been a life saver. It only took a couple of weeks for the ache in my right arm to vanish and I haven't felt it since. It's expensive, but I only have two arms and would like to keep them both in ship shape condition. I can afford buying a new, albeit expensive, mouse, but an arm is harder to replace.
This one is really good unless you need a lot of accuracy. Takes a bit getting used to, but once you start using it, it's a life saver. At least it was for me.
IPv6 may have a better and safer design, but have you ever considered the software that's going to use it? I see networkrelated security issues popping up "all the time" with IPv4 software. Now, what will happen when we do move over to IPv6, which is in fact a more complex protocol? I have a feeling we will be seeing quite a few security reports on not only the various stack implementations, but also on userspace programs.

Damn.

Doesn't exactly inspire confidence if his underlings can't even spell check.
It's not a typo. It's written by a lawyer. You're not supposed to be able to read it and understand it.
Chuck Norris is the center of the universe. The Earth is connected to Chuck Norris, so the Earth is at the center of the universe.

Jeff Garzik(kernel developer) has a very enlightening LKML post/rant about why wireless in the linux kernel is not yet quite up to par:

Anyone else have this problem?
Can you say publicity stunt? /. will give them before calling it quits.
I wonder how many more downloads
Now, if MS would do the same, at least we could hope for sharks...

> USB drive mode - very nice, and about time. Nice that http://www.softick.com/ took care of that a long time ago for everyone else...
Really? So what you're saying is that everyone else is running Windows 2k/XP/Me?
As CardExport does not(at present) support any other OS...
(they are, however, working on it)
