Carpe Nano: Here's a clue for critics of Apple's "Genius" ads

http://carpenano.blogspot.com/2012/07/heres-clue-for-critics-of-apples-genius.html

Commentary on nanotech, capitalism and innovation management by Scott Jordan, a tech veteran with business-development, turnaround and technology management experience. Here's a clue for critics of Apple's "Genius" ads. What should one advertise? Hint: There's an old saying, "If you've got it, flaunt it.". And that's what Apple is doing with its new Genius ads, in heavy rotation during the Olympics. Personally, I find them a bit annoying, but that's the point: they're not for me. C-BEPP (Cloud-Based Epis...

Unvexed: Stuff that Works: March 2014

http://unvexed.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html

Unvexed: Stuff that Works. On repurposing an old Mac, and how to automatically .pdf and print important emails. When I upgraded from an impeccable and solid but nearly-four-year-old Macbook Pro to a spectacular new Retina model in late 2012, I had every intention of selling the old machine. But as fine a machine as it was, it was worth only a few hundred dollars, so I decided to repurpose it as a server. Do this: Forward to xxxxxx@hpeprint.com. Where xxxxx@hpeprint.com is my printer's email address.

Unvexed: Stuff that Works: The Cryptogasm needs a dose of perspective

http://unvexed.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-cryptogasm-needs-dose-of-perspective.html

Unvexed: Stuff that Works. The Cryptogasm needs a dose of perspective. Fortunately we have Citeworld. To assure us, "[Apple's new fingerprint sensor] detect[s] the ridge and valley pattern of your fingerprint not from the layer of dead skin on the outside of your finger (which a fake finger can easily replicate), but from the living layer of skin under the surface of your finger, using an RF signal. That only works on a live finger; not one that's been severed from your body. Http:/ www.wired.com/. So, y...

Unvexed: Stuff that Works: A Dropboxless Dropbox for extra-secure file sync

http://unvexed.blogspot.com/2013/11/a-dropboxless-dropbox-for-extra-secure.html

Unvexed: Stuff that Works. A Dropboxless Dropbox for extra-secure file sync. Dropbox is great for sharing. Files between your machines. And I get a small storage bonus. But I have harbored no illusions about the privacy implications of storing stuff in any third-party's cloud, even before the Snowden revelations. So one of my first blog posts. Which is FOSS, but it lacks a mobile client, especially for iOS (which I'd need). Tarsnap. Is FOSS but requires a central server- great for enterprises but overkil...

Unvexed: Stuff that Works: Cryptopocalypse: Can your iPhone be hacked by the NSA?

http://unvexed.blogspot.com/2013/12/cryptopocalypse-can-your-iphone-be.html

Unvexed: Stuff that Works. Cryptopocalypse: Can your iPhone be hacked by the NSA? Today the Intertubes are awash with hysteric headlines like " The NSA Has Crazy Good Backdoor Access to iPhones. It's quite the pile-on: besides the press' inclination to tear down the tall dog, there's something stunning about the well-regarded security of latter-day iDevices being easily circumvented by shadowy spies in Ft. Meade. What's missing- as is all too typical- is a close and sober look at what's being disclosed.

Unvexed: Stuff that Works. How to work around the latest Man-In-The-Middle attacks. Has an informative analysis of the just-patched encryption issue that can potentially expose unpatched iOS devices to a man-in-the-middle eavesdropping situation in some circumstances. Seems Mac users running OS X 10.9 Mavericks should anticipate an update in the next days too…. As I understand it: in this vulnerability, a man-in-the-middle attacker possessing an encryption certificate signed by a trusted Certificate Auth...
