A near-final draft of the curriculum shows that it comes in different flavors for every grade from kindergarten through sixth, to keep pace with your developing child's ability to understand that copying is theft, period.
Did you know that, for grade-schoolers at least, cribbing from a classmate on a test or cheating on a homework assignment isn't as bad as copying copyrighted works from the internet? That's one of the messages of a new grade-school curriculum that rights holders -- including the Motion Picture Association of America, the Recording Industry Association of America and the nation's top ISPs -- are considering as a pilot project to be tested in California elementary schools, according to the curriculum. There's no mention of fair use, either.

2013-09-21 22:04:00, frank The biometrics hacking team of the Chaos Computer Club (CCC) has successfully bypassed the biometric security of Apple's TouchID using easy everyday means. A fingerprint of the phone user, photographed from a glass surface, was enough to create a fake finger that could unlock an iPhone 5s secured with TouchID. This demons...

Physicists have discovered a jewel-like geometric object that dramatically simplifies calculations of particle interactions and challenges the notion that space and time are fundamental components of reality. [...] The new geometric version of quantum field theory could also facilitate the search for a theory of quantum gravity that would seamlessly connect the large- and small-scale pictures of the universe. Attempts thus far to incorporate gravity into the laws of physics at the quantum scale have run up against nonsensical infinities and deep paradoxes. The amplituhedron, or a similar geometric object, could help by removing two deeply rooted principles of physics: locality and unitarity.

60 Tage voller Geheimdienstenthüllungen liegen hinter uns. Das Vertrauen in Cloud Computing und Big Data ist erschüttert. Wir haben die Sprecher des Chaos Computer Clubs (CCC) um einen Kommentar gebeten.

There is something incredible that happens when we see a classic black-and-white photograph transformed into color. It makes the past seem more vivid, but also more surreal at the same time. Here are some of our favorite colorized iconic photographs.

Matthew Green is a well-known cryptography professor, currently teaching in the computer science department of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. Last week, Green authored a long and interesting blog post about the recent revelations that the National Security Agency (NSA) has, among much else, subverted crypto standards. In his words, "The TL;DR ['too long; didn't read' version] is that the NSA has been doing some very bad things." And Green went on to speculate at some length about what those "bad things" were and what they might mean.
Today, Green's academic dean contacted him to ask that "all copies" of the blog post be removed from university servers. Green said that the move was not "my Dean's fault," but he did not elaborate. Were cryptology professors at Johns Hopkins not allowed to say, as Green had, things like:

Astronomers have used ESO's New Technology Telescope and the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope to explore more than 100 planetary nebulae in the central bulge of our galaxy. They have found that butterfly-shaped members of this cosmic family tend to be mysteriously aligned — a surprising result given their different histories and varied properties.
