I do not see details on how this works, but I sure am curious:
- Remote password administration
- Remote disable of lost drives

Flying Penguin
Some days I feel like this:
Teacher: “Can anyone find the flaw in this security system?”
Student: “The keys hide a secret that can be used to decrypt all the data if they are compromised.”
Teacher: “Excellent! Exactly right, but if these keys are compromised then the whole system is probably already lost.”
Duh. At least the weather was nice for a ride.
BioPoems and the artificial compound eye
The BioPOETS (Biomolecular Polymer Opto-Electronic Technology and Science) have announced the development of insect-like artificial compound eye technology. Surveillance cameras are a likely application of this new technique for enhancing field-of-view, or as the website explains:
This work offers a promising new paradigm for constructing miniaturized optical systems for omni-directional detection, wide field-of-view or fast motion detection.
Note that the website name is “biopoems.bekeley.edu”? Could this be a clear case of POETS in motion? Har har.
Slashdot provides some comic relief, as usual:
This will be like camera phones, but squared and then cubed.
