Submission + - GlobalSign supports billions of device identities in an effort to secure the IoT (globalsign.com)

broknstrngz writes: GlobalSign, a WebTrust certified CA and identity services provider, has released its high volume managed PKI platform, taking a stab at the current authentication and security weaknesses in the IoT. The new service aims to commodify large scale rapid enrollment and identity management for large federated swarms of devices such as IP cameras, smart home appliances and consumer electronics, core and customer premises network equipment in an attempt to reduce the attack surface exploitable by IoT DDoS botnets such as Mirai.

Strong device identity models are developed in partnership with TPM and hardware cryptographic providers such as Infineon and Intrinsic ID, as well as other Trusted Computing Group members.

I don't know, I've seen Space Statio 3D at IMAX and loved it. Way better then Gravity. 100% accurate from a scientific point of view and very intense (especially the launches of the Space Shuttle and Proton rocket). And it was (partially) filmed in space, using an IMAX camera.

Do you have any idea on the volume ratio for nuclear spent fuel and classical waste? And it's not like we can convert fossil fuel waste to drinking water either, we still have to store it somewhere, polluting the site. Fun fact: due to traces of uranium in coal, a classic power plant actually releases into atmosphere more radioactive material than a nuclear power plant does. Witout considering the greenhouse gases.

"On top of the four Falcon Heavy launches planned for the U.S. Air Force this year (...)"
Uhm, what? Falcon Heavy's first flight is scheduled for 2013 and it will be a test flight, I doubt it will carry any commercial cargo. Maybe the planning for the US Air Forces launches was done this year, that can be true, but I'm certain that no Falcon Heavy will lift-off in 2012.

Submission + - HDD Pricewatch: How the Thai Floods Have Affected Prices (techspot.com) 1

jjslash writes: The hard disk drive supply chain was hit hard late last year when a series of floods struck Thailand. The Asian country accounts for about a quarter of the world's hard drive production, but thousands of factories had to close shop for weeks as facilities were under water, in what is considered the world's fourth costliest natural disaster according to World Bank estimates. That's on top of the human cost of over 800 lives. TechSpot has monitored a number of mobile and desktop HDDs to get a better overview of how the situation has developed in the last three months.

Submission + - Canonical pulls Kubuntu personnel funding (itworld.com)

LinuxScribe writes: An announcement on the Kubuntu-devel mailing list tells the sad story: Canonical is pulling funding for in-house developers to work on the KDE-based Kubuntu flavor. Canonical now seems committed to its single vision of a GNOME-based Unity as a desktop and other Ubuntu flavors will now have to rely on community support and some infrastructure from Canonical.

Ever played with LEGO? Ever built your own fort or tree house? Ever went on a beach and built up castles or simply dig holes?
