Download Crippin
There are two versions of Crippin available – a full version which allows passwords of up to 255 characters, and a free version which uses very short passwords (it truncates them to 2 characters). The free version provides fully functional file compression, but only limited security (enough to prevent access by toddlers and grannies, but not professional hackers). You can get the free version from various shareware sites, including Pocket PC City and UpToDown.com , or the full version from Share*It!
Imagine that every time you printed a document it automatically included a secret code that could be used to identify the printer - and potentially the person who used it.

Privacy
New technologies are radically advancing our freedoms but they are also enabling unparalleled invasions of privacy. Your cell phone helps you keep in touch with friends and families but it also makes it easier for security agencies to track your location. Your Web searches about sensitive medical information might seem a secret between you and your search engine, but companies like Google are creating a treasure trove of personal information by logging your online activities, and making it potentially available to any party wielding enough cash or a subpoena. And the next time you try to board a plane, watch out—you might be turned away after being mistakenly placed on a government watch list, or be forced to open your email in the security line.

Inside the precision hack
There’s a scene toward the end of the book Contact by Carl Sagan, where the protagonist Ellie Arroway finds a Message embedded deep in the digits of PI. The Message is perhaps an artifact of an extremely advanced intelligence that apparently manipulated one of the fundamental constants of the universe as a testament to their power as they wove space and time. I’m reminded of this scene by the Time.com 100 Poll where millions have voted on who are the world’s most influential people in government, science, technology and the arts. Just as Ellie found a Message embedded in PI, we find a Message embedded in the results of this poll.
