Security Video: TEDx – Avi Rubin – All Your Devices Can Be Hacked

This video is absolutely jaw dropping.

All Your Devices Are Belong To Us

Folks that develop systems, such as on board computer networks in vehicles or medical systems, that allow access via wire or wireless need to rethink the way those systems are made.

Fellow MVP Dana Epp also has some great security related videos that include simple step-by-step instructions on how to get past system security.

It’s getting to the point where the only “secure” way to live is to build a log cabin somewhere with a faraday cage and no inbound/outbound connections whatsoever. Note that there needs to be tree cover to deep keep the eyes in the sky out too.

Getting to know the risks is a part of what we do.

Photosynth Video Demo is truly a neat thing to see

This is the link on TED: Blaise Aguera y Arcas: Jaw-dropping Photosynth demo.

In an era of Web 2.0 and "Social Network" hype and circumstance, this video is quite refreshing.

We get to see Blaise run through a very stunning demonstration of the product he is the architect of: Photosynth.

The product is totally "social" in its abilities to pull hundreds if not thousands of images together based on a keyword search that incorporates all of the image search result's meta data.

Think "Image Wiki" anyone?

The usage models for this product are truly amazing in their breadth and probably the significant reason why Microsoft, wisely in our opinion, purchased the company in 2006.

This is a link to Blaise's Bio: Blaise Aguera y Arcas: Software architect.

Something to check out in an off moment. :D
