I've done something similar, though gave myself many more months. I also pre-paid a number of expected expenses to get them out of the way. I still ran through the cash quicker than I thought I would. Thankfully, I've been doing consulting

I have to wonder if this article is incorrect - what part of the problem can't be solved using services already offered by the cell phone? Is a new chip really required and, if so, what will it do to costs, and what unwanted services might

This problem started in the 80s, if not earlier. The original MIT "hacker" definition morphed into a definition used by the medial and the public to refer to the cyber criminals of the time. And along with this evolution in the definition c

I found the most interesting part of this article the following quote: "... and would make them more vulnerable to security threats." Allowing users to opt out of tracking increases their security threat? I'd like to see more detail on th

Yet, despite the taxes, companies keep starting up in San Francisco. Maybe some people in SF don't want a Google-plex in the city? If you want to argue that it is bad for the city, post commentary from someone who isn't an investor in start

Oh, but I've had all sorts of other fun failures with dreamhost in the early days. A number of us regularly called it "dreamhose". It seems to have matured, and I keep some material on there, but I'm still wary of putting anything mission c

You're upvoting a tool that is harvesting information for spearfishing and advertising? Really? Engage your critical thinking capability.....

It works, for harvesting names and possible domains. Great tool for collecting information for constructing ads or spearfishing attacks.

Given the response on HTCIA, HTCC, and the CCE lists, this was news to many people in the LE community. I think your edit touches on the difference - this is a new source for the information, and it is very easy to collect from the sync hos

The issue is that this data used to only be available via the service provider. Now it is available from the device, and the device it syncs to.

There's a lot of marketing hype in here. There are a lot of mobile device collection tools and none of them fully collect every device out there. Also, collecting a 64GB i<device> over USB will take at least 24 minutes. (You don't r

And it doesn't work on all devices out there, and doesn't fully collect the devices it does work with. Most forensics labs have multiple tools such as this, and still have issues fully collecting devices.

I don't have time to read mediocre books. I've found myself buying a number of ebooks and putting them aside, at several price points. I think I am more wary of the sub $9 ebooks, which may not make sense, but there you are.

While I'm not in favor of warrantless wiretapping or GPS tracking, I'd appreciate you elaborating on your claim that they're twisting logic until it nearly breaks. Unfortunately, this request seems like another step down a slippery slope an

I guarantee you that a halfway decent lawyer would still find a way to sue you and win. Any lawyer could find a way to sue you and the ensuing legal scuffle would consume more money than you made on the project. Just one of many points they

So what is the downside to you vetting these documents via a lawyer first? Ensuring that the documents are even a little bit better will save your users collectively a lot of legal fees.
