Comment "do no evil" my arse... (Score 1) 687

Is this the straw that finally breaks the camel's back for the "do no evil" company? Communism really is evil and China's government is no exception. (Oh, who knew?!) As a shareholder since the IPO I sincerely hope they follow through and pull out of any country that values human life less than vomit (yes, like China). It's worth the hit to the stock price - human life is infinitely more valuable.

CCC Create a Rogue CA Certificate 300

Here's the scoop on how they set up their own rogue CA, by (from what I can figure) reversing the hash and engineering a collision up in MD5 space. Until now, MD5 collisions have been ignored because nobody would put in that much effort to create a useful dummy file, but a CA certificate for phishing seems juicy enough to be fodder for the botnets now."

It isn't easy being the parent of a six-year-old. However, it's a pretty small price to pay for having somebody around the house who understands computers.
