Researcher cracks Wi-Fi passwords with Amazon cloud A security researcher has tapped Amazon's cloud computing service to crack Wi-Fi passwords in a fraction of the time and for a fraction of the cost of using his own gear. Thomas Roth of Cologne, Germany told Reuters he used custom software running on Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud service to break into a WPA-PSK protected network in about 20 minutes. With refinements to his program, he said he could shave the time to about six minutes. With EC2 computers available for 28 cents per minute, the cost of the crack came to just $1.68. “People tell me there is no possible way to break WPA, or, if it were possible, it would cost you a ton of money to do so,” Roth told the news service. “But it is easy to brute force them.”

This Was the Year When Everything Became TV In a workplace, other people are there in an ambient way — they drift in, they drift out, there’s an occasional did-you-see-this exchange between tasks. The TV of People doesn’t work that way: Your switch is either on or off. People become episodic. Someone is present until their little rectangle winks off and they disappear. Show’s over. What distinguished TV, when it entered people’s homes in the middle of the 20th century, was that it created a second world in your living room, one that contained all of the greater world within it: baseball stadiums, theater stages, the African savanna.

Even the most genteel literary event can soon devolve into a fist-fight between fans of Scrivener and Ulysses (both of which cost around £27, US$40, AU$50). Microsoft Word is the default tool for many writers, but a subscription to Office 365 costs £59.99, US$69.99, AU$89 per year for one user – pretty steep if you only need the word processing element. There's often a better option for those of us starving in garrets: free software.

You come to acknowledge that everything you once had were just things and nothing more, if only to help you heal. You are thankful that no one got hurt.
