Doing my part to keep the TI-84 Plus on top
A pair of brand new Texas Instruments TI-84 Plus graphing calculators sit today on my kitchen island, still encased in what I assume will be annoyingly difficult to crack plastic packaging. My children start school on Thursday and the calculators – that specific brand and model – were "recommended" on a list of supplies.Which meant little to me until reading a story in this morning's Washington Post headlined: "The unstoppable TI-84 Plus: How an outdated calculator still holds a monopoly on classrooms."To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
Hackers make drive-by download attacks stealthier with fileless infections
Cybercriminals are increasingly infecting computers with malware that resides only in memory in order to make their attacks harder to detect.Recent attacks launched with the Angler exploit kit—a Web-based attack tool—injected malicious code directly into other processes and did not create malicious files on affected computers, an independent malware researcher known online as Kafeine said Sunday in a blog post.Fileless malware threats are not new, but their use is rare, especially in large scale attacks, because they don't persist across system reboots when random access memory (RAM) is cleared.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More

Witness the future: The 1955 Video Phone
The National Archives blog recently featured a pretty cool clip showing one of the first "futuristic" video phones – from 1955, manual rotary dial and all. According to the blog: "Demonstrated for the first time, the videophone, with two-way picture screens enabling the parties to see, as well as speak to, each other. As simple to operate as today's dial tone. The videophone included a small screen so that women could 'primp' before placing their calls.

Mapping the cloud: Where does the public cloud actually live?
Tech public relations likes to talk about the cloud as though it exists in an entirely conceptual form – files, apps, and even computing power existing merely in potentia, flowing mystically to you from some digital Olympus. It's a neat vision, and not, perhaps, an entirely unfair one, as far as it goes.But the fact remains that all computing is done on silicon that exists somewhere in the real world, no matter how many layers of abstraction it goes through. If it's a computing task, there is a real computer, somewhere, pushing 1s and 0s around to make it happen.ALSO ON NETWORK WORLD 10 of the Most Useful Cloud Databases So where are those computers?To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
