- Why the FBI's request to Apple will affect civil rights for a generation | Macworld
If you care about electronic security or privacy, this case is one to watch closely, and with a certain amount of creeping dread. This case isn't about one phone, it's about the precedent.
- Apple can comply with the FBI court order – Trail of Bits Blog
Apple can easily comply with the order, without placing (all) their customers at risk, because they literally couldn't comply with the order on their newer phones. But what the order would establish is that the US govt can ask private business to work to circumvent their own security features.

- Russell Davies: Inevitable
If you work in marketing or comms, this is a mandatory read.
- Alan Moore – This Is Not A Dream – YouTube
Alan Moore's history of the CIA, "Brought to Light" appears to be available in full on Youtube. No idea if it's legit, and it's not his best audio work by any means, but it's still worth a listen as a history of the CIA.
- Let's Encrypt
Technical level incomprehensible bollocks to most of you, but the short version is that if this works like it says on the tine, then summer next year cannot come soon enough. This represents a massive improvement to one of the more frustrating tasks on my plate at work *and* means that in theory *every* website should be able run encrypted, even just little stuff like personal blogs. Which is actually really important, these days.

- BBC – Earth News – Ant mega-colony takes over world
I for one welcome… etc.
- Shownar
The latest public project from Schulze and Webb, beloved of this parish for basically being much cleverer than me, is site that tracks the word-of-mouth buzz around BBC TV and Radio programs. Yes, it skews populist, for obvious reasons, but I can think of ways round that, and in an iteration or two, might be a really good way of tracking good telly that one would otherwise miss.
- Lifehacker – TrueCrypt Now Available for Mac, Too
Bit of a note to self – with the loss of my laptop, I am kind of aware that had I gotten around to putting proper encryption on the thing, I would not have had to bother with the hassle of changing every single bloody password I use. If you use a laptop, or notebook PC, and don't encrypt the entire HD, then you're running the same risk as I did. (Hell, it's true of desktops, too, but they're not begging to be lost of stolen on a daily basis.) You can find software that will do this for you linked from the link above, whatever OS you use.
