Submission + - Google Chrome on Linux starting to get serious (downloadsquad.com)

Lee Mathews writes: "Not only has Chromium gotten easier to take for a test drive thanks to the PPA for Ubuntu Chrome daily build team, but development on the browser is also progressing nicely. Despite being a very early build, Chromium on Linux feels solid and boasts the same blazing speed the Windows users have been enjoying for months."

Compromising Wired Keyboards 277

Flavien writes "A team from the Security and Cryptography Laboratory (LASEC) in Lausanne, Switzerland, found 4 different ways to fully or partially recover keystrokes from wired keyboards at a distance up to 20 meters, even through walls. They tested 11 different wired keyboard models bought between 2001 and 2008 (PS/2, USB and laptop). They are all vulnerable to at least one of the 4 attacks. While more information on these attacks will be published soon, a short description with 2 videos is available."

Comment Some gear doesnt work (Score 5, Informative) 197

Had actually received some of this gear unknowingly and while some of it does work...there were a few cases where that when a switch that would lose power the GBIC would not come back up in a 'no shut' state. Instead you had to console into the switch and issue a 'shut > no shut' on the interdace to get the port to come back. So while the technically do kind of work, it is not something I would recommend deploying in a mission critical switch/router.
