Public Space, Media Space | Chris Berry | Janet Harbord Public Space, Media Space asks how public space is being mediatized in different ways in different cities around the world today. Urban public spaces are saturated by media, perhaps more than ever before. These range from highly visible large LED screens in cities like Tokyo, through the cassette sermons one hears in the streets of Cairo, to the invisible, inaudible satellite surveillance systems that are everywhere. They include personal media like MP3 players and mobile phones, public information systems, commercial advertising, and more. Winner of the SCMS Best Essay in an Edited Collection Award

PhreakVids.com - Videos Related To Phreaking InfoSec | Mad Irish . net free tutorials Have you ever read through a chapter in one of those Learn Such and Such in 21 Seconds books and realized that somewhere along the way you had started daydreaming about how you would spend a trillion dollars if you were Bill Gates? Well, it happens to me all the time. Computer books are boring.

The really unfortunate thing about this predicament is that now, more than any other period in the history of computing, is when we really need good, clear writing out there. Whether the established priesthood of computer science likes it or not, the web has opened the flood gates and computer science is being secularized post haste. Well, the fact is that most people learning how to make a living on the web are not morons and if given the proper instructions can do just about everything they want to with their web sites, if not more.

Cheap GPUs are rendering strong passwords useless Think that your eight-character password consisting of lowercase characters, uppercase characters and a sprinkling of numbers is strong enough to protect you from a brute force attack? Think again! Jon Honeyball writing for PC Pro has a sobering piece on how the modern GPU can be leveraged as a powerful tool against passwords once considered safe from bruteforce attack. Take a cheap GPU (like the Radeon HD 5770) and the free GPU-powered password busting tool called 'ighashgpu' and you have yourself a lean, mean password busting machine. The results are startling. It gets worse. Surely throwing symbols in there keeps you safe, right? What's the solution? [UPDATE: Take a look at this - whitepixel 2 running with 4 x HD 5970 cards (8 x GPUs) capable of 33.1 billion MD5 password hashes/sec.

99 Speed Tips For A Fast Performing Mac Hey This post is going to list 99 different speed tips for speeding up your Mac. I have done a couple of these posts before, but those were more discussions. This post is designed to tell you what to do in each section. Each item is going to be quick, simple and easy to complete. Over the past couple of weeks I have been collecting these and using them. 1) Get Intel or G5 Binaries A rather simple first tip. 2) Slim Down Universal Binaries In a similar note to the previous tip you can save a bit of RAM and disk space by removing the binary in applications that you wont use. 3) Clear Caches Your computer runs on Caches. 4) Web History A large web history will mean your web browser will have to load it during start up. 5) Reduce Firefox Extensions The more extensions you have the more RAM your computer uses. 6) Optimize Firefox You can speed up Firefox by changing a couple of settings in the about:config page. You can find more Firefox settings here. 7) Reduce Mailbox Sizes 13) Validate Fonts
