I haven't seen many criticisms of the $100 laptop project. It's hard to criticize something that is being done for altruistic reasons. I have always thought that it was not what was needed. Clean water, mosquito netting, text books, schools, things like that seemed more important to me, but since I'm not doing anything (except giving platelets), who am I to talk?

There's a nice discussion about password systems over at Educated Guess work. Since WiKID is a type of public key-based authentication system, I'm always interested when someone points out their superiority ;).oracle-buys-thor

Oracle bought Thor, which I thought was very interesting. As Pete Lindstrom pointed out, it was a busy week for security-related acquisitions. This post at Digital ID World (hat tip to Venture Chronicles sums up my thoughts. I wonder if Oracle will go after RSA? I have my doubts. Oracle is just really going after Sun, IBM, etc.incentive-plan-for-an-information-security-team

It has occurred to me that you could develop an interesting incentive program for an information security team, assuming that you believe a couple of data points (or can come up with your own) and your primary concern is a data breach. In my opinion, security people are all too often incented only to maintain security - not to optimize the investment in security. Interests need to be aligned.

From the Register:
A US defence department advisory board has warned of the danger that American war robots scheduled for delivery within a decade might be riddled with malicious code. The kill machines will use software largely written overseas, and it is feared that sinister forces might meddle with it in production, thus gaining control of the future mechanoid military.
