Security

Submission + - TSA praised for being more intelligent

SilentChris writes: You may have seen recent news reports regarding the TSA warning about terrorist "dry runs" : a request for increased vigilance in airline security. Recently, odd things have been showing up at airports: cheese with a cell phone charger taped to it, ice packs with clay in them, etc. All the incidents turned out to be benign, but what's "unusual" has perhaps been the reaction. Rather than being ridiculed, the TSA is being praised for thinking outside the box. Said one CTO at a security firm, "It's refreshing to have something nice to say about TSA."
Microsoft

Submission + - Microsoft votes for ODF

SilentChris writes: Microsoft has decided to put its weight behind ODF. They have voted to add ODF 1.0 to the ANSI list. Is this a sign that MS is willing to compromise further on Office standards, or is this (as they say) a trap?
Television

Submission + - Square One TV jacket on eBay

SilentChris writes: Just wanted to point out an auction for quite possibly the geekiest children's show ever. I'm selling a Square One TV jacket I won as a contestant on one of their mini gameshows. A very limited number of these were made. If nothing else you can take a gander at the pictures and revel in the 80s of it all.
