It seems to me I am seeing more and more Geek Revival stuff out there.
Development type boards, Arduino, and other micro-controller boards, various ARM
and of course the well publicized Raspberry Pi.
And then tons of little Android things.
It is almost like the world at the start of the "Personal Computer",
but with so much more variety.
Don't you wish you had toys like that when you were a kid?
Are we on the verge of another revolution?
A rejection of walled gardens and "Sealed for your protection and our
profit boxes"?
Are people wishing to learn how things work again?
Are we on the edge of another wave of real innovation and advancement?
Are the kids alright, after all?

Just got my Samsung Galaxy S3. It is one heck of a
phone; my iPhone and iPad are for sale now.
One thing stood out: The S3 is not rectangular. While
the sides are straight, the ends are rockered. Looks
quite nice, and while obviously curvy, it serves the
functionality of a rectangle with rounded corners.
Samsung is already *improving* on the iPhone's *dated*
rectangular design.

The TOR team have discovered a fake certificate in the wild.
The
certificate, issued by a US company called Cyberoam, was used in an attempt to
trick a user in Jordan into believing that her/his connection to the TOR
website, was private and secure, though in fact it was being spied upon by a
Cyberoam device.
Cyberoam makes "deep packet inspection" software, used in
mass surveillance of Internet traffic, and as TOR's Runa Sandvik and OpenSSL's
Ben Laurie investigated the matter, they discovered that all Cyberoam devices
share a common vulnerability related to their handling of
certificates.

The development of a museum dedicated to the life and works Nikola
Tesla has moved one step closer after an online campaign raised more than
$500,000 in 48 hours.
The fundraising effort, called "Let's build a
goddamn Tesla museum", was devised by web comic The Oatmeal on behalf of the
Tesla Science Center.
It is hoping is hoping to raise $850,000 from its
appeal on the money-raising website Indiegogo.
The money would allow for the
redevelopment of Tesla's Wardenclyffe laboratory in Shoreham, New
York.
