I thought I would use this post to highlight a couple of links that were brought to my attention by you guys, one a serious security issue and one a serious debate between Steve Jobs and Bill Gates.

Keyloggers Installed in Hotel Business Centers

In a comment on the post about the massive data theft that’s been ongoing, Nikolaus linked to the Krebs on Security website, which has a post about data thieves installing keylogger software on machines in hotel business centers. Those will record everything a user types, including usernames, passwords, and account numbers and email it to the thieves. It’s considered so serious that the none other than the Secret Service and the Department of Homeland Security’s National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center issued a communication that was not made available to the public and indicated that their investigation discovered the malware on machines in hotels in the Dallas area. The communication, lifted from Krebs’ website, is below. Oh the irony.

Epic Rap Battles of History

Allwyn sent a link to a video from what I learned is a series titled “Epic Rap Battles of History.” The specific one he sent was Albert Einstein vs. Stephen Hawking. I watched that one (which I have to say Stephen Hawking won), but I noticed on the list of related videos they had Steve Jobs vs. Bill Gates – there was no way I would miss that. Even though the lyrics aren’t always factually accurate and HAL 9000 makes an appearance for some reason, I loved it, and you will too. I have embedded it below, but for this one I can’t tell who won. I’ll leave it up to you to decide.
