I remember there was some graduate study done at UCSD where they took a picture of a key from afar, and using a computer, be able to create the exact key that accounted for the angle the picture was shot out. Does anyone remember an article

It's a gamble that will pay off if the powers to be deem it to not be a threat. But then the conundrum is why would twitter allow any other company to profit off it's platform?

I believe the original title for the link was something along the lines of "IE6 usage is under X% worldwide" but one of the HN mods changed it.

Where is the appeal in a WU created digital currency? 1. This will probably mean WU wants a cut of all transactions in any digital currency they create... for life. 2. No benefit over fiat currency? 3. Not anonymous. 4. All the "coins" are
