It is not as easy, the iPhone have FIPS 140-2 crypto processor that stores the key, you can not copy that data, and you can not emulate it. Or force attack the secure crytpto processor... I think the aproach of copy the hard disk is not posible, take a look to Apple documentation. https://www.apple.com/business... I am not sure even if is posible to release a new iOs without the retry password and time limits, It shouldn't be possible if the design is well done as it seems.

Sure, and probably the laptop is clean of information because now have a new installation made with the windows partition recovery.

Does it cost Truecrypt TCO $403 year? for a company with fewer of 50 employees? I know Trucrypt don't have, enterprise functionality, like admin and user password, integration with identity management, but I thik 403$ year only in support and maintenance, using this opensource and free solution. And It is very difficult to meause the value of the information of a laptop.

Another episode of the KVM vs XEN battle!!

Post morten Amazon explanation:
http://aws.amazon.com/message/65648/

From: http://aws.amazon.com/es/ec2/
Availability Zones are distinct locations that are engineered to be insulated from failures in other Availability Zones and provide inexpensive, low latency network connectivity to other Availability Zones in the same Region. By launching instances in separate Availability Zones, you can protect your applications from failure of a single location.

Better than use different region, I think it is better have multiple cloud providers...

What is more scaring for me, is that Amazon tell you that they have multiple availavility zones on each zone, and recomends you to distribute replicated servers, on each of this zones, for example I have a project with the master database in one zone, and the replica on the other zone. Why both zones fail?? Are not isolated/independent? Amazon charges you for data transfer between zones. As other says fails the servers, anyone must had backups on other place (S3, or Amazon external).

I have deleted all the CA from Comodo. I think it must be the end of his certification authority bussines. I want more responsible of that: -Ernest Young give them the WebTrust certification. Or the auditor or the certification is useless...

To be a CA is a serious thing it requires to have some certifications: Comodo CA Ltd is a commercial CA based in the UK and serving customers worldwide.
Audit: WebTrust CA, performed by Ernst and Young: Audit Report and Management's Assertions
Audit: WebTrust EV, performed by Ernst and Young: Audit Report and Management's Assertions

Do I have to trust Comodo?

Do I have to trust WebTrust certifications?

Do I have to trust Ernst and Young?

If you have a Windows environment with a Active directory you could deploy with GPO (Group Policy) to all the desktops on the domain. http://www.tcpdump.com/kb/os/windows/certificate-deployment-using-gpo/all-pages.html If you have Linux desktops may be you colud deploy a package with the certificate. If you set up your own CA, then you must have to deploy the CA certificate once too.
