...waiting for Jake to post that he did something like that 35 years ago, but with mainframe housings and sharks...

LOHAN sponsor knocks up nifty iMac fish tank
North Dorset Council hit by ransomware, flips the bird at miscreants
Regular Fast Radio Burst detected outside our galaxy
Shouldn't that read "repeating FRBs detected" instead of "regular FRBs detected"? "Regular" implies a pattern, and if I've read the article right so far no pattern has emerged. (Yet?) *
Anyway, interesting! What was happening six billion years ago?
* Yes, I like having a bit of pedantry with my 11 am coffee...
Greybeard monobrow baldies rejoice! Boffins comb out hairy genes
I don't mind going grey at all since it looks somewhat dignified and offsets my babyface. (Incidentally, I'm going for the 'overweight George Clooney' in my overall appearance.)
No, the only hair related problem I have are the hairs that started growing in places where I didn't used to have hair and where I don't need and don't want any. What do I need hairs on my earlobes for? Go home Mother Nature, you are drunk!
Everything bad in the world can be traced to crap Wi-Fi
How exactly do you rein in a wildly powerful AI before it enslaves us all?
No more Nookie for Blighty as Barnes & Noble pulls out

Beep, beep – it's our 2016 buzzword detector. We see you, 'complexity'
UK biz fails to report two thirds of cyber attacks, says survey
Hardcoded god-mode code found in RSA 2016 badge-scanning app
Well, the conference is all about improving knowledge on security, so technically mission accomplished... But seriously, hardcoded? Now what does that remind me of...
Even if the hardcoded password was meant as a fall-back mechanism in the event the administrator custom passcode is lost - that's still a bad idea which might not even work. You might just as well lose the Post-It with the hardcoded password on it as you can lose the admin custom passcode. Sloppy coding as a result of very sloppy thinking.
Forget data thieves, data sabotage will be your next IT nightmare
Salesforce.com storage fail causes lengthy outage
Hack the planet, er, Pentagon: US Dept of Defense puts bounties on bugs
Activist investor tells dot-word biz to sell off 'garbage' new domains
Bruce Schneier: We're sleepwalking towards digital disaster and are too dumb to stop
"...and it will only be after some severe event that they will be fully motivated to act..."
As usual, because sadly such is human nature. Every safety regulation, every law, etc. was written because at one point something went wrong and did so with a large enough impact to provoke a something-must-be-done-about-it reaction.
So, what will be the event that will wake up enough people to this problem?
IBM slices heavy axe through staff in the US
'Dominant' Facebook hauled over coals by German competition authority
From the Bundeskartellamt's press release:
"The Bundeskartellamt is conducting the proceeding in close contact with the competent data protection officers, consumer protection associations as well as the European Commission and the competition authorities of the other EU Member States."
Hackers rely on weak passwords when brute-forcing PoS terminals
Spanish cops discover illegally parked flying car
My dad did something like that once. He was the project manager at a big building site at that time, so he had the proper equipment at his disposal. They were building a new administrative block for a bank. One particular VW beetle was repeatedly blocking the loading area for the lorries. Then on some day it was gone. When the owner was asking around whether anyone had seen his car, my dad had the pleasure of pointing to a roof terrace five storeys above street level...
But that was in the late 1970ies, when people didn't sue that much.
Bill Gates can’t give it away... Still crazy rich after all these years
More and more Brits are using ad-blockers, says survey
ISS 'nauts wrap 'historic' 340-day mission
There is a satirical movie movie somewhat based on Poliakov's "lost in space" stay on Mir.
Phew! No evidence found for global criminal hacker conspiracy
We survived a five-hour butt-numbing Congress hearing on FBI-Apple ... so you don't have to
Worth it?
According to Cryptome, the FBI Director's salary is about $200,000 per annum. So roughly $547,95 a day*. Assuming an 8 hour workday** that's $68,49 per hour.
5 hours of butt-numbing Congress hearing x $68,49 = $342,47. Before tax.
* Yes, I know. Sundays, days off, etc. And lifetime benefits, perquisites, medical, consultancies. This is not a PhD thesis, so back off.
** You just can't let it go, can you?
