Bloggers howl after conference snoops on 'secure' network

People never listen or learn

The Jericho Forum commandments (www.jerichoforum.org) have made it clear for years, the network cannot provide any decent level of security (is the title "Network Security Manager" an oxymoron?). you must use ONLY inherently secure protocols. Unfortunately when caught out they resort to crying "it isn't fair" - come on you alleged security professional - the bad guys out there don't understand "fair", so up your game.

People just not that into Blu-ray

It's all about the price point

Currenty a resonable brand name DVD is £50 whereas a Blu-ray is £150, typically people will only pay 20% over the odds for better technology, so when we get blu-ray players to £60-70 then you will see it start to take off - simple as that.
