As one colleague phrased it: WORST EPISODE OF SPOOKS. EVAR. …and another one sums it up: This (via @alecmuffett) is just so embarrassing: bit.ly/12q6xH0 – is this really what @deloitteuk think cybersecurity is? Grow up FFS — Simon White (@Simon_M_White) February 5, 2013 The discussion thread was heavy with “LAUNCH A WORM” jokes shortly after…

The Internet Is Speech, The Internet Is Books. The Attorney General Is Wrong. #rant /cc @guy_herbert
Last night I lampooned the Attorney General’s recent statements, and this morning the good and noble Guy Herbert picked me up on it: @alecmuffett That misrepresents what he said. There is a real problem here: how to manage fair trial. Internet creates new difficulties. — Guy Herbert (@guy_herbert) February 7, 2013 Guy is absolutely correct…

Zero Dark Thirty – A Review
Skinny, petite girl lives empty, violent, narrowly moral life on behalf of her state pivoting around her (eventually zealous) drive to capture a very bad man and thereby validate herself. It happens. Then she realises the “empty” bit, and that the future will possibly be filled with nightmares of torture rather than Sex and the…

Attorney General: “We desperately need to retain ignorant jurors. X-factor viewers, perhaps.”
Well, almost… Grieve continued: “The internet is a haystack of material, scattered with the odd prejudicial needle, as it were. Trial by Google allows a juror to locate the haystack, find the needle, pull it out and ascribe significance to it that it simply would never have had otherwise. It takes a minor risk and…

LightBlueTouchpaper blog knocked temporarily offline by demand for free Ross Anderson book # 224Gb in 1 day
After the book announcement I got a bunch of reports that LightBlueTouchpaper was down (example) – so I pinged Ross: We got hammered since my book went free with 224Gb of downloads, or about a quarter of a million chapter views.

Idea / Suggestion for new SaaS: double-blind presentation submission for upcoming events, battle sexism /HT @lanyrd
So the topic of sexism in selection of IT conference papers is in the news a lot, recently. No women on panels, no women presenting, “the organisers should check their presentation acceptance policy”; there’s nothing I can write about it which has not been written elsewhere, often better. Short of affirmative action and the other…

Is #Zorpia the reason I am getting Google “Your account is under attack” warnings? I think so…
This afternoon I received this: It’s quite clever; I actually know someone with the name (almost) who has not been in touch for a long time, so following standard procedure I opened up a vanilla stateless browser and carefully copied the “View Private Message” link over to it. Paste, Click, and I am presented with…
