Finally, yesterday evening I’ve seen Anathema live. By surprise last Tuesday I was talking to a friend and found out that Anathema will be playing live in Limassol, Cyprus. It was a very good concert, they played well live and played tracks from Serenades, The Silent Enigma, Eternity, Alternative 4, Judgement and A Natural disaster, 2 and a half hours concert. Since it was a small club (with just around 300 people) it was possible to meet the guys personally after the concert and have a chat. None of them offered a beer though (not like Septic Flesh) even if I have all their cd’s :P Just thought of uploading some pictures ;)

Inside the shadowy underworld where rogue employees sell holes in their companies’ software. The buyers: security firms, mobsters, and — surprise — the U.S. government.

Being in possession of child porn does not (and should not) mean that you’re doing it. There are so many ways that child porn can end up on one’s computer. The article mentions malware, but simply browsing to some websites might be enough to cache such content - and the websites need not have visible child porn.

The person featured in the article lost his job and his family as a result of this malware infection. How many victims will it take until the witch hunt is over?

Today’s pharmaceutical research and products work on fighting evolution of harmful organisms. His suggestions is that this is mostly wrong and that we should instead be identifying ways to make evolution work for us and make it happen. Of course he describes a few studies to prove the point.

I wonder how this applies to other areas of study, like Infosec. While some might see Infosec as a technology problem, it is in fact mostly a human problem in the end of the day.
