Know Your Network, Lesson 4: Access Your Home Computers from Anywhere
LH is often about how to get things done quickly, not how to do it securely. Sometimes there's a difference, but I agree, in this case running VNC outside any sort of tunnel is a BAD IDEA. Allowing unencrypted VNC access from the internet is a noob mistake. Gee Mom, look what I did! Setup a VPN at home first, then tunnen VNC traffic through your VPN. * OpenVPN for Linux Servers and Windows clients: [www.howtoforge.com] * OpenVPN: [www.grc.com] * VPN Uses: [blog.jdpfu.com] * Running Remote Applications: [blog.jdpfu.com] (NX is more efficient than VNC or RDP - perhaps 10x more efficient). ssh tunnels work, but they aren't as efficient as UDP-based VPNs like OpenVPN. That's what LH needs - an OpenVPN Guide. As usual, there are many different ways to accomplish the same goal.

Know Your Network, Lesson 2: Understanding Your Router’s Admin Page They are unique when they leave the factory, the first 6 characters specify the vendor, the last 6 specify the device, but if you go under the properties of the network adapter there's an option to specify the MAC. It's normally labeled something like Network Address, Physical Address, Locally Administered Address, etc. Wireless adapters are a little harder with Vista/Win7, but there are third-party programs that will do it for you.

LED Lights Make Augmented Vision a Reality | Elemental LEDucation LED Lights Make Augmented Vision a Reality Okay, this is just freaky. We know LED lights are versatile enough to be used for practically anything, but LED contact lenses? Really?! Yes, as it turns out, really. University of Washington researchers have figured out how to implant semitransparent red and blue LED lights in contact lenses, for the purpose of receiving and displaying data in sharp visual images and video. Once miniature green LEDs are developed (and they’re in the works, as of now), full color displays will be possible. Lead researcher Babak Parvis comments “You won’t necessarily have to shift your focus to see the image generated by the contact lens,” it would just appear in front of you and your view of the real world will be completely unobstructed when the display is turned off. Ah, the real world. Thanks to Extreme Tech for the quote and Trendhunter for the images.
