I can assure you I could buy a whole fleet of Google Glass if I wanted to. The class argument is laughable.
Also, unlike you, I've actually tried Google Glass and I can say that the only worthwhile feature was the ability to record video by taping the side of it. The very small display (it's like 8 lines max, maybe 5 words per line) and constant looking up and to the right do not make for a good user experience for any real information, imho.
So if I walk up to you and point my cell phone camera in your face - No problem? I think you'd get annoyed rather quickly.
Also, let's be honest, the security camera argument is a false argument, since we all know how crappy the footage from security cameras are and that there are more controls over the purpose and use of that footage.
With Glass you may become part of some weirdo's "art project" or have your image stored with Google in perpetuity for them to eventually add to their facial recognition database and who knows what else.
Occam's razor would suggest that she got pwned by a drive-by exploit on some site she visits. In the same way anyone else might. She just happened to be of some level of importance.
Ah, but those folks are already on the fringes of society. The "punching" reaction is a form of intimidation in the hopes that this will not become a mainstream activity.
I'm sure most of this will come from metasploit, packetstorm, and exploit-db.
Directly selling exploits is shady, no matter what company is backing it.
I sincerely hope not. However, I suspect that if it's automated in any fashion, some sites will get wrongly tagged. The general public doesn't know the difference.
I really fear for how this will affect full disclosure security sites. These sites are vital and used by security professionals world-wide.
Are they going to ignore sites safely hosting exploit code, or just those attempting to actively use it against the browser? Let's hope it's only the latter.
It gives you, the admin, the goodness of Snort and OSS tools and gives your bosses a contract to feel all warm and fuzzy about.
Actually we found that Sentarus is a much better snort-based product. We kicked Sourcefire out after 2 weeks, they just don't get the concept of a GUI. Talk about butt ugly and unmanagable.
I'm sorry... javascript is a requirement on the modern web. If you are afraid to leave it on, you might want to look into switching browsers.
Next you'll tell us cookies are "tracking you" and you should turn that off as well.
I had the pleasure of seeing Jello at a performance talk he gave at UMass sometime around the late 80's. It was about the Iraq war V1.0 and the Challenger disaster (covered a lot of ground, eh?).
The sad part is I saw him perform on a college campus tour in the late 90's and he was discussing those exact same things. I was very disappointed because I had heard him on a "spoken word" tape recorded several years earlier, and yet... he covered little, if any new ground.
Not only that, but I also met him in person... coincidentally at H2K... where he cut ahead in line and pissed off a bunch of people who were already waiting to check in to the hotel for several minutes. Suffice it to say, I have lost almost all respect for the man and it makes it difficult to listen to the Dead Kennedy's now.

I hope it was because they want to use port 443 instead.
12 hour factory shifts are/were common in the U.S. as well, before all the factory jobs got moved overseas.
How is setting the minimum price of books different than setting the minimum price of apps?

The barrier is getting fired from your job.

Survey suggests P2P Users lie through their teeth. Who is going to answer a survey about illicit activity honestly?
How often do you listen to your friends recommendations right now? How often are they right for you?
You can be friends with a lot of people, and have different tastes in all kinds of things: music, food, movies, doctors, cars, clothing, ... etc.
I think everyone is afraid to click on that link.

Until this article, I forgot it was ever announced.

Actually, cracker used to only refer to people who "cracked" games and other software. Hacker has always had dual meaning.
It's simple: You hack systems, you crack software. Try and find old references to "cracking a system" vs. "cracking software", you won't.

This was on Boing Boing yesterday, and Metafilter, and a million other blogs. So I wonder where slashdot "found" it.
Shouldn't the title read: N-Gage, Never Relevant
Keyboard ain't going anywhere. Expect it to exist for as long as there are words to type.
Actually, I was there only a few months ago and most signs do have English. At least in Tokyo.
Cross site scripting should not be considered a vulnerability.

Surely they must be worthy of something...
