IOActive Labs Research: I can still see your actions on Google Maps over SSL

by karlcow

shows the concept of SSL traffic analysis pretty well. It also might be easier to understand for less technically inclined people, as in "An attacker can still figure out what you're looking at on Google Maps" (with the addendum that it's never going to be a 100% perfect and that my shoddy proof of concept has lots of room for improvement).

Radio Interview with Matriarch of Social TV - MIT's Marie-Jose Montpetit

by sbrothier
Social TV is a huge buzzword in the TV world these days. Basically, it refers to the ways people are using social media in conjunction with their TV viewing. That might refer to something as simple as checking your Twitter feed on your phone while watching a political debate. It might also include joining a social network oriented around media discovery, like GetGlue, or Miso, where you can find out what your friends think of shows, or be notified when they are watching something. It had us wondering what impact Social TV will have on the way programmers design shows, and whether we’re returning to gathering in the living room watching I Love Lucy, only virtually. Marie-Jose Montpetit is a research scientist at the Research Lab of Electronics at MIT, where she researches putting video on multiple devices and combining it with social networking components.

Chaîne de TheInsideExperience - YouTube

by gregg
Christina Perasso (Emmy Rossum) woke up trapped in a room, with only a laptop and an internet connection. She doesn't know where she is or who took her. But with the help of her friends, family -- and a couple thousand new Facebook friends -- she's trying to find a way out. Though, her captor isn't making it too easy for anyone.

PHOTOGRAPHER HAL

by sbrothier
Bathtubs, couples, love and challenge are strong themes throughout this artist’s work with other key elements including individuality, style, communication and intimacy. Photographer Hal brings complete strangers to his confined, crucible like spaces only to convey his continuing theme of ‘love of the couple’. The initial title Pinky & Killer used a small space or room to capture the willing couples, soon followed by the title Couple Jam which brought the focus even closer to the subjects who were placed in a bathtub together. “I am currently seeking new dimensions in portrait photography by challenging the majestic theme of mankind, defined through love.” Photographer Hal’s latest project is called Fresh Love, which captures the many varied and fresh couples in vacuum sealed package.

Cambodia Tuk-Tuk Drivers Hit a Bump | News | Khmer-English

by karlcow

While demand is sinking, costs for tuk-tuk drivers continue. Sambath has recently invested in a new tuk-tuk and motor, that cost him close to $2,000. Drivers are also required to pay the government $5 annually to renew their operating licences.According to Sambath, living expenses in Siem Reap have risen, especially in the areas of housing and food, making it more difficult for the working class to make ends meet. He said more than a third of drivers' salaries go to room rentals, as most of them come from villages in search of better job opportunities in Siem Reap.

Fuji x100 :: Review • Photography By Zack Arias • ATL • 404-939-2263 • studio@zackarias.com

by karlcow

When Meg and I went to Italy for our belated honeymoon I packed a 5d MkII with me and took about five pictures with it because I left it in the room most of the time because I simply tired of carrying that beast around on vacation.

size matters.

HUBOT

by Spone
GitHub, Inc., wrote the first version of Hubot to automate our company chat room. Hubot knew how to deploy the site, automate a lot of tasks, and be a source of fun in the company. Eventually he grew to become a formidable force in GitHub. But he led a private, messy life. So we rewrote him.

Mark Shuttleworth » Blog Archive » Innovation and OpenStack: Lessons from HTTP

by karlcow

It’s true that those API’s would better be defined in a clean, independent forum analogous to the W3C than inside the boiler-room of development at any single cloud provider, but that’s a secondary issue.

Libyan Rebels Are Flying Their Own Minidrone | Danger Room | Wired.com

by karlcow

Aeryon Labs, a Canadian defense firm, revealed on Tuesday that it had quietly provided the rebel forces with a teeny, tiny surveillance drone, called the Aeryon Scout. Small enough to fit into a backpack, the 3-pound, four-rotor robot gave Libyan forces eyes in the sky independent of the Predators, Fire Scout surveillance copters and manned spy planes that NATO flew overhead. Don’t worry, it’s not armed.

ahah. Love the Do not worry, it's not armed. DIY war.

Nurture the Difference Between New York and Silicon Valley - Room for Debate - NYTimes.com

by karlcow

To be in Silicon Valley is to be completely immersed in technology. The building, the pushing, the hacking, the designing, the iterating, the testing, the acquisitions, the funding — it is everywhere and wholly inescapable. Here is a culture and place that emerged seemingly from nothing, and yet over the last 50 years it has developed a mythology deep and inspiring and all its own.

Anne van Kesteren - Google+

by karlcow

I think with the WHATWG improvement just happens. More as a byproduct of the larger goal and not really getting in the way of anybody. At the W3C there is too much bureaucracy for "just happens" and so instead of working on what you want to be working on, you have to argue about rules.

complete and utterly bullshit from Anne. The WHATWG is very successful at **removing people who are into the way**. Sometimes, I wonder if whatwg live in a 1000 mirrors room where they see only themselves.

Contact George

by gregg (via)
Are you ready? Meet George, a REAL guy with a really weird connection, a connection that lets you enter his world and interact with him as he tries to go on with his daily activities. What will you do next? You can be nice and just talk to him or tickle him or you can start annoying by poking him, screaming at him, squeezing him, holding your finger on him, shaking his room, making him loose balance and fall to the ground or playing tricks on him using various objects. You get to break his daily routine and mess with his mornings, while he is at the office, relaxing at home and even when he is asleep. He will try his best to make you smile.

Cette démarche de plonger dans la vie intime de la victime après coup fait un peu penser au Journal de Laura Palmer. C'est plutôt réussi surtout les parties sur le PC.

Future Farm: A Sunless, Rainless Room Indoors : NPR

One of the more dramatic applications of plant-growing chambers under LED lights was by NASA, which installed them in the space Shuttle and the space station Mir in the 1990s as part of its experiment with microgravity.

Rania Matar - Recent Projects - A Girl and her Room Project Statement

by karlcow

From there, emerged the idea of photographing each girl alone. I originally let the girls choose the place of their choice and was slowly welcomed into their bedrooms, an area that is theirs, that they can fully control, decorate, trash and be themselves in – within an outside world that is often intimidating.

Simultaneously use multiple iPhones and Androids to capture photos, videos, and conversations into a group album. There's no attaching, uploading, or friending to do.

bu there's still someone in the room. Still cool it seems. I wish we had already NFC P2P networks for socializing.

James Nizan | Anteroom Series | bumbumbum

by karlcow

The Anteroom Series by James Nizam is a beautiful and mindbending series of photographs. The Vancuver-based artist turned soon to be demolished homes into room size camera obscuras.
