Video: Global Android Activations – Visualized
Shared via Google Reader - See the original post
Over the past two years we’ve shared countless numbers, charts, and graphs which gave a clear picture of Android staggering growth. For a while Google’s been touting their daily new handset activation numbers, but numbers along are pretty hard to visualize. In an attempt to give us a better idea of what those numbers really look like, Google has posted a new YouTube clip on their AndroidDevelopers channel which shows daily handset activations across the globe since the initial launch of the T-Mobile G1.
Watching the video, it’s pretty clear that the launch of the Motorola DROID and Samsung Galaxy S have both had a tremendous impact on the adoption rate of Android devices. It’s pretty clear that Android has grown exponentially over the past few year and there’s no sign that Android growth will be slowing down any time soon.

Exploring Chicago: The hotdogs

I’m tinkering around with this idea of adding a new element to the E, but I’m still on the fence about it!!! Basically, I want to take my hard-hitting journalism experience and combine it with my deep curiosity of the Chicago culture to bring you a series of educational mini documentaries. Here’s a little sample:
Let me know if you like the occasional video break from the ‘toons and I’ll maybe I’ll think about making more. If you want to boo this idea off the menu, just say “boo” in comments. Hehe, thanks friends!
Feature: Anonymous speaks: the inside story of the HBGary hack
Shared via Google Reader - See the original post
It has been an embarrassing week for security firm HBGary and its HBGary Federal offshoot. HBGary Federal CEO Aaron Barr thought he had unmasked the hacker hordes of Anonymous and was preparing to name and shame those responsible for co-ordinating the group's actions, including the denial-of-service attacks that hit MasterCard, Visa, and other perceived enemies of WikiLeaks late last year.
When Barr told one of those he believed to be an Anonymous ringleader about his forthcoming exposé, the Anonymous response was swift and humiliating. HBGary's servers were broken into, its e-mails pillaged and published to the world, its data destroyed, and its website defaced. As an added bonus, a second site owned and operated by Greg Hoglund, owner of HBGary, was taken offline and the user registration database published.
Over the last week, I've talked to some of those who participated in the HBGary hack to learn in detail how they penetrated HBGary's defenses and gave the company such a stunning black eye—and what the HBGary example means for the rest of us mere mortals who use the Internet.
