OCZ plays its joker in the hybrid drive card game

Just popped a 500gb Seagate FT in my old acer laptop, took the opportunity to go from 2gb RAM to 4gb and install win7 64bit. Its like a brand new machine, awesome

Cyberspooks sceptical on UK.gov's IT cost-cutting plans

Every heard of, breaking encryption? or wire-shark for that matter..

Right. Who says the location of data doesn't matter? rubbish

Regardless of where in the world, if the data-centre is compromised, then TCP/IP traffic can be captured, analysed, de-encrypted, attacked (man-in-the-middle), especial so if it they data-centre is providing the security remotely for that data. The whole concept of putting data onto the cloud, means trusting those who administrate the cloud.

Think about this a little harder people. Ok, so in theory you could setup a secure cloud with no vulns, but has there every been an IT system like this, distrusted over the internet? Even if you ticked the boxs of Integrity and Confidentiality as some of you have mentioned, you can't get availability because you are left open to potential DDoS attacks.

just my 2 cents.

'Evil' Windows 7 campaign goes global

Just the one?

IMHO Linux and free OS and software in general represent everything you could want for proprietary installations (as in for netbooks) or specialist (as in for science processing), but beyond this they represent a poor expedience for home multimedia and gamer use, except as a second OS (good for secure, quick web browsing). Just my 2 cent.
