Making things useful, getting stuff done

Blogmarks for Thurs 16 Feb 06

  • There are some increasingly scary things happening in the world of RFID tags
  • Although this is an interesting use of net data, you can’t help but wonder how soon it’ll be before deliberate spamming starts happening…
  • Proof that sometimes the confines of Oxbridge can damage your logical thinking
  • The thought of having a fundraiser event happening online & in the real world simultaneously is both novel and potentially quite a big deal. Might also be a great solution to my no-money-no-time-for-all-these-conferences problem!
  • People sure can be damn stupid. When will we learn to stop visiting plagues on ourselves?
  • Two of my friends have just proved that they are the cutest people on Earth. Bless!

    Regarding that link about Ross Anderson advocating ‘back doors’, I have to say I’m surprised. From what I know of him (and he’s lectured me, so that’s more than most) he’s about as staunchly anti-DRM as they come (just read his TCPA page for evidence). Considering he’s also pretty keen on privacy and anonymity in computer systems, best guess here is that he’s trying to damage the Trusted Computing system itself by ensuring that the sole keys to TC-encrypted content don’t like with the content providers.
