The American equivalent of the GCHQ, NSA, frequently holds competitions on a website called TopCoder ( http://topcoder.com ). Usually, they've have a recruitment officer in the lobby of the TopCoder chat room. Very interesting competitions

Poison Ivy is the new Sub7 (or new Back Orifice, if that's your thing). While it is actually an advanced trojan, the stub (small file it begins with) is relatively easy to detect. PI will commonly inject itself into the default browser's pr

This is a pure marketing move. I can run Windows applications on Mac OS X using ["Bootcamp","VMWare Fusion","VirtualBox"] however that doesn't mean its a positive experience. I think the same will be said of Android apps on the PlayBook.
