> Sure, it’s an expensive product, particularly when you compare it with many of the other options out there. However, I’ve taken at least half a dozen password managers for a test-drive in the last 12 months, and 1Password is the only one that truly nails the right balance between security and convenience.

> When sensors are used without our knowledge or against our will, they become instruments of surveillance. Most of the sensors to create a seamless snooping system are already in place, but the data — credit-card transactions, passport scans at borders, emails, and phone calls — are held by a scattered array of organizations. Linking it all together, sifting through it and assembling dossiers is, for government intelligence agencies and law enforcement, a killer app for smart cities.




*** Apple's Spaceship Is Landing In The Wrong Place ***
<http://www.mercurynews.com/troy-wolverton/ci_24302684/wolverton-apples-spaceship-is-landing-wrong-place>
Troy Wolverton, San Jose Mercury News


> Those bucolic scenes of people walking through the forested grounds or eating lunch in the grass near the spaceship? Those will all be employees -- assuming they're able to break away from their desks. Apple says the campus will be closed to the public, and a fence around the perimeter of the property will guarantee that. The public won't even get to use a long-planned creek trail that would have run through the southeastern corner of the property, because Cupertino acquiesced to Apple's paranoid security concerns.
