Submission + - Security expert slams Google+ pseudonym policy (sophos.com)

Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes: A security expert has panned Google's "real name" policy on Google+, claiming that the hard line will damage privacy.

Sophos's Chester Wisniewski says that closing accounts where users have adopted false names erodes privacy on the social network.

"What they seemed to have missed is that the very foundation of privacy is identity. Simply knowing my postal code or birth date is meaningless without a name to associate it with. By requiring people to only use their real names, unless they just happen to be a celebrity, they have eliminated the ability for people to be private in any meaningful way."

Submission + - Intel Atom c.2015 "Faster Than AMD Phenom II X6"? (itproportal.com) 1

Submitted by siliconbits
siliconbits writes: Bill Leszinske, General Manager, Technology Planning of the Atom SoC Development Group at Intel, provided an update on the company's roadmap for Intel's Atom range, including a rather interesting slide; one which Leszinske clearly indicated, is based on real (but confidential) data. On it, Intel presents Atom's tablet CPU performance (in SPEC2000int_rate) which should rise by more than 10 times over the next four to five years. A quick back-of-the-envelope calculation led us to believe that by 2015, the 14nm Airmont Atom SoC could be slightly faster than the six-core AMD Phenom X6, at least when it comes to SPEC2000int_rate numbers (81 GIPS vs 79 GIPS).

While this is bad for bitcoin's reputation, storing $500,000's worth in an unencrypted wallet is incredibly foolhardy. It is fairly simple to run two wallets, one encrypted for savings, and one unencrypted with only a small number of coins in it.
