security researchers say there are other options, like “de-capping” the phone’s memory chip to access it outside the phone (which Snowden has also mentioned), or resetting the phone’s internal counter so that you can guess the passwords as many times as you want.

  • Story Type: News Story
There is and always shall be order in the universe. All things have order of some form. When we observe the murmuration of birds (flying in a swarm like pattern), we at first see chaos, but then as we observe more closely we note form. Rarely ever do these birds collide in air. It is amazing to watch literally hundreds if not thousands of birds flying in a clump and moving in unison. read more

You'd be hard pressed to find someone who wouldn't agree that design for open source projects in a broad sense (websites, materials, logos, and so on) couldn't use a bit of... finesse. Or perhaps, just a touch more forethought and a good designer on hand. Bermon Painter and his collegues in the field of design and user experience know this all too well and are trying to change the way designers contribute to and participate in open source projects.

One of the benefits of the ownCloud architecture is that it scales from small installations, such as a Raspberry Pi for 1-10 users, to up to 500,000 users and a petabyte of storage running in a powerful cluster setup. Together with research organizations CERN and AARnet, we've been collaborating to bring this to a new level—breaking through the petabyte barrier together. read more
