I read today that KisMAC, the wireless sniffer for Mac’s, is no longer being developed in Germany. The reason behind this is apparently some changes in German law the prohibits the exporting of security software. The home page does talk about the project moving to the Netherlands to avoid such legal issues. –Chris Technorati Tags: [...]

I read a very interesting article in Mass High Tech on properly sizing your funding when going for VC / Angel money. It was written by Justin Perreault from Commonwealth Ventures. I am pretty sure I submitted a plan to them when I was trying to start my own venture. I never heard anything back, [...]

I remember last year someone tried to sell a Microsoft flaw (I think it was Microsoft?) on eBay. The auction was quickly taken down citing eBay’s terms of use / service violation. Last week WabiSabiLabi opened its doors as an online auction house for vulnerabilities. I took a look today and there a several vulnerabilities [...]

Just so Mike doesn’t take the bullet, I’ll probably be the last to blog about the bloggers meeting. I ended up getting there very late as I had my own cab ride from hell story…although it wasn’t anything like this one. You know you are in trouble when the cab driver picks you up at [...]
