Also possible to get a heatmap of a keyboard to see what keys were pressed last. I've seen this attack carried out in a youtube video, where a hacker could log back into a kiosk terminal simply by grabbing the heat signature emitted fr

I like the happy medium of one ultra quantum unbreakable master passphrase which is used to unlock easier to guess passwords. SO somebody owned your Imgur account full of memes. So what? Always assume an account is breakable. http:/&#

I call this 'inventor syndrome' because innately people want to better the world in some way, instead of just leech from technology. MY only issue with that approach is people re-inventing the wheel. There is more code on Github t

Nice trove to pore through when I find the time. I like to use Twitter to analyze HN datasets. It's mostly limited to links, because that's what I'm after mostly. https://twitter.com/newsycombinator https:&#

This is why I know of people using phablets for the very reason of getting more done because of a bigger screen. The reverse of phablets to get work done is using several 4K screens or 'Bloomberg terminals' to do your computing. A
