Sounds like you are an entrepreneur that would look to launch or be part of a start-up so it begs the question: why go to college at all? If it is just for the contacts and a piece of paper just do a the shortest business or engineering cou

Truecrypt is awesome, great performance (especially if it can use your hardware is compatible with its optimization) and free. Really easy to use and supports come cool features like a hidden operating system (for if you get held and gun po

Thanks for that. 27k still a decent chunk of money - wonder what my return on investment will be for that. Think its going to stay on my someday list for now, who knows if by software as a service business does well I can focus on a PHD ful

Its not that I don't consider physical security as important - I just do not think that the physical security provided by your private data centre is any better than what Amazon provides. The economies of scale and the motivation to avoid a

Good article and I think you are doing some very interesting research. My problem with this type of research though is the amount of fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) it generates. Your attacks are viable if certain very precise conditions

I'm sorry but the whole concept of a private cloud makes no sense to me - why would you have a private electricity generator for your home? The security issues are a lot of fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD), I have written about it here: ht

Yes buying an SSD was the single biggest increase to speed I have ever seen from one component. I run SSDs on all my laptops and I would highly recommend it. Have a 2TB USB for all my storage so 128 or 64gb SSD which is not that expensive i

It does too! I have added it to my home screen but the accuracy does not seem to be that great - e.g. searching for a Roka restaurant in Canary wharf london doesn't work, postcode search in UK also doesn't seem to work

yes not instant and also if it can filter just creative commons. Don't want to get into trouble with copywrite.

Just awesome, hope your travel in future is without incident. I thought it was ridiculous that even in transit where you are actually not entering the US customs fingerprint all your fingers. I was very very tempted to refuse but in the end

You may have lots of users and I wish you all the success, certainly looking at the Foursquare leaders in London either they are cheating or they go to a hell of a lot of places and check in everywhere. Also games and trip creating location

Good article, nice balanced view of both sides. I have always had on my someday list to do a PHD in developing a quantitative model for information security risk using power laws because I believe it is something that is badly needed and so

the main issue with that for me at least is offline useage. I often use my phone on the London tube with no internet access so having things offline or cached from the cloud is great. Local processing is absolutly required. LTE and new wire

Each to their own I suppose, I have a few laptops generally replace them every 2-3 years. Currently an Alienware M11X and a Acer 1215N. Even for "just" email, browsing, reading I really like the "instant" feel from the newer core 2 duo proc
