The Carbon Capture Report TechCrunch Pinhead Swoons: A Cabinet Made Of 80,000 Bamboo Skewers | Co.Design Sebastian Errazuriz's Magistral Cabinet isn't just a cabinet, it's a freaking weapon. Covered in 80,000 bamboo skewers, it's ready to stab its army of quills into any nosy houseguest, any transgressor of the properly placed dinner plate. Okay, so the skewers aren't exactly sharp. Still. Would you try to steal china out of something that looks like Pinhead? Of course not. Errazuriz tapped 12 woodworkers to construct the cabinet. Errazuriz is a New York designer who clearly has a thing for shock and irony. [Images via Designboom] Ecosystem services Humankind benefits in a multitude of ways from ecosystems. Collectively, these benefits are known as ecosystem services. Ecosystem services are regularly involved in the provisioning of clean drinking water and the decomposition of wastes. §History[edit] The notion of human dependence on Earth’s ecosystems reaches to the start of homo sapiens’ existence, benefiting from the products of nature to nourish and shelter from harsh climates. In 1956, Paul Sears [7] drew attention to the critical role of the ecosystem in processing wastes and recycling nutrients. The ecosystem services concept keeps expanding and includes socio-economic and conservation objectives, which are discussed below. §Definition[edit] There is discussion as to how the concept of cultural ecosystem services can be operationalized. §Four categories[edit] Detritivores like this dung beetle help to turn animal wastes into organic material that can be reused by primary producers. §Supporting services[edit] §Examples[edit]

Dropbox Lied to Users About Data Security, Complaint to FTC Alleges | Threat Level Dropbox, the wildly popular online storage system, deceived users about the security and encryption of its services, putting it at a competitive advantage, according to an FTC complaint filed Thursday by a prominent security researcher. The FTC complaint charges Dropbox (.pdf) with telling users that their files were totally encrypted and even Dropbox employees could not see the contents of the file. Ph.D. student Christopher Soghoian published data last month showing that Dropbox could indeed see the contents of files, putting users at risk of government searches, rogue Dropbox employees, and even companies trying to bring mass copyright-infringement suits. Soghoian, who spent a year working at the FTC, charges that Dropbox “has and continues to make deceptive statements to consumers regarding the extent to which it protects and encrypts therir data,” which amounts to a deceptive trade practice that can be investigated by the FTC. Dropbox dismissed Soghoian’s allegations. to:
