From Neatorama:
Graham O’Brien thought he was just unlucky when he couldn’t access his bank account by phone. But it turned out that the call center staff thought he was a woman trying to defraud the bank because of his squeaky voice.You would think that they could tag his records with some indication that he's got a squeaky voice.

WiKID is pleased to announce that we've released an open source version of WiKID. We've been working on this for the last few months. We needed to replace the Ntru encryption packages we use with open source 1024-bit RSA encryption and we needed remove the proprietary Radius server we had embedded into the WiKID server.site-upgrade

Greetings everyone. Just wanted to let you know that we have been working on a Plone upgrade for the website. I know it doesn't look at that different, but it is. At least based on the amount of work it took to upgrade :). The Blog is now 'inside' of plone, which is nice.

From Computer Weekly:
Visa admitted this week that deadlines for retailers to comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), which requires firms to adopt a package of security measures, were "unrealistic".I continue to be fascinated by the PCI/DSS soap opera.
