A security researcher contacted IBM to report four security vulnerabilities in the IBM Lotus Domino HTTP server that permit cross site scripting. These vulnerabilities could allow remote attackers to steal cookie-based authentication credentials. While fixes for all four are planned for inclusion in Domino 8.5.4, workarounds exist for two in Domino servers 7.0 and later by enabling a single INI setting. As of 15 August 2012, IBM has not received any reports of customer issues related to these security vulnerabilities.

a small arts K-8 school in the Alameda County School District." Litt needed a computer lab. His school had no budget, So he called around to local businesses and individuals and collected all their "broken" computers (refusing anything made before 2002 or with less than 512MB of RAM) and installed Ubuntu GNU/Linux on them. What he got was a free, robust computer lab. Litt says ""Discarded computers are our most wasted educational resource," and that we are "starving in the midst of plenty."

Doctorow framed the question this way: "Computers are everywhere. They are now something we put our whole bodies into---airplanes, cars---and something we put into our bodies---pacemakers, cochlear implants. They HAVE to be trustworthy."

Sometimes humans are not so trustworthy, and programs may override you: "I can’t let you do that, Dave." (Reference to the self-protective insane computer Hal in Kubrick’s film "2001." That time the human was more trustworthy than the computer.) Who decides who can override whom?

The core issues for Doctorow come down to Human Rights versus Property Rights, Lockdown versus Certainty, and Owners versus mere Users.

Dieses Jahr wäre Alan Turing, der Namensgeber der höchsten Auszeichnung für Informatikforschung, 100 Jahre alt geworden.
Das Vienna Center of Logic and Algorithms (VCLA) nahm sich dieses Jubiläumsjahr zum Anlass, selbst eine Auszeichnung zu vergeben – den Turing Machine Award 2012. Das Ziel dieses Wettbewerbs ist es, Innovationsträgern von morgen die Gelegenheit zu geben, außergewöhnliche Ideen vor Vertretern aus Wissenschaft, Kultur und Wirtschaft zu präsentieren. Es werden Projekte gesucht, die den Mechanismus, die Technologie oder die Idee der Turing-Maschine kreativ umsetzen.
