Can Google Know Where the Gmail Attack Came from?• Erica Naone via PopSci.com
On Tuesday, Google revealed a new spate of attacks aimed at Gmail users, and said the attacks appeared to have come from Jinan, China. The new attacks illustrate the difficulty of stopping hackers who use simple "social engineering" tricks to steal personal data, and they raise questions about how such attacks can ever be traced with certainty.
Personal accounts belonging to U.S. government officials, Chinese political activists, military personnel, and journalists were targeted, the company said in a blog post. Google has pointed to Chinese hackers before—in early 2010 it said attackers from the country had stolen its intellectual property and tried to access the Gmail accounts of human rights activists. The Chinese foreign ministry has vigorously rejected the idea that the Chinese government was responsible for the attacks.
Google says the attackers did not exploit any security holes in the company's e-mail service. Instead, they involved tricking users into sharing their log-in information. Carefully tailored messages, apparently written by a friend or colleague, were used to direct victims to a fake log-in page where their details were captured. This technique, known as "spear phishing," was also used recently to steal information from the prominent security company RSA—information that may have been used to perform further attacks on the company's customers.
Experts say this type of attack is hard to stop; unlike other types of attacks, there is no technical fix. "I think of incidents like this more as a series of successes and failures on the part of the attacker," says Nart Villeneuve, a senior threat researcher at Trend Micro, which makes antivirus, antispam, and Internet security software. "It's more of a campaign than it is a single attack."

It's March, Sleepless Knights! This month, we are celebrating two special occasions. The first half of this month, we are celebrating the mighty KING KONG making his way back to the big screen. The big question is will this film be misunderstood or become a classic among it's peers? We shall see when March 10th rolls around.
Since 1933, we've had a place in our heart for the colossal ape from Skull Island. The legacy behind the monster has created a mass amount of fans, admirers, and platinum blonde maidens (kidnapped by him, of course) over the years. He may have picked his battles, made guest appearances on the covers of comic books, and much more, but KING KONG reigns supreme among his peers GODZILLA and MOTHRA.
May He continue to Reign for years to come!
The moment March 17th rolls around, though, we are rolling out the proverbial green carpet for the most notorious St. Patrick Day's villain of all time….THE LEPRECHAUN! He's mean, he's sort of green, and he's here for his pot of gold, Ladies and Gentlemen!
Be prepared for the rest of your march to be filled with cackles, buckles, and this guy searching for anything but lucky charms! Let's only hope he doesn't have his pogo stick handy when he comes to visit.
Get ready for March and remember to not touch any gold!

JointCracker Community Lead
Now we finally know why our joints crackle! We just masturbated too much!
This is the question:
I read the article posted on you website about the little guy who started masterbating at the age of 7.I got really scared because I think i suffer from the same problem.Im a computer engineering student at a univ in buffalo.I started masterbating at the age of 14.I used to do it two times a day everyday. Now I suffer from premature e* * * * * * * * * n and I have pains in my back and my hip joints.I also get crackling sounds from all the joints in my body. I want to know that if I stop doing it now will everything get back to normal and if it will how long will it take.I donot want to take medicines for it beaucse im worried about the side effects and the emabarrasment.Ive been trying for a long time to quit m* * * * * * * * * * n but I thikn ive become obsessed with it.Please help me and tell me what should I do.I donot want to goto a doctar and that is why im emailing you.I have no problems of low concentration or insomia since im doing very good at skool.Please reply me back on my email and tell me how can i get cured.
The all-knowing Dr. Lin was kind to answer.
Your Over-masturbation gives you these problems.
Currently, your body produce a high level of stress neurohormone adrenalin to heighten the sympathetic nervous function, but lower down the parasympathetic nervous function for restoration and healing and for production of the relaxation and elastic hormone prostaglandin E-1. Your muscles, joints and ligaments become inflexible or inelastic - rigid and fragile. That is, you have experienced muscular tearing or stretching pains and produced cracking sounds when you turns your neck or joints.
Yeah, right! :lol:
wow, the first time i read through that the only thing i understood were the commas.
but come on. i'm a cracker because i'm a freak, not a sexpot.
this made me laugh

Rad Tee
My super rad new t-shirt, from Uniqlo's World Typographers range.
(This one is by Studio Von Birken.)
It also totally reminds me of my friend Andrea, and all the all-nighters we pulled that last semester and how we survived on a steady diet of bacon and cheese potato skins, coffee, cigarettes and Madonna's Immaculate collection. I'm still surprised I didn't lose a finger or two in a freak x-acto knife accident. Oof, that's enough reminiscing. I'm out. Good night.

Wow, that was easy!!!
We bought a house. There, wasn't that easy? After a few months of spending our weekends house hunting, the search is over. I can't believe it. It hasn't sunk in. WE. BOUGHT. A. HOUSE.
And it sure is a beauty. In recent weeks, HandyMan and I have managed to get a better handle on what type of abode we wanted to call 'home'. It had to be a fixer-upper. It had to have good bones and good street presence. Ideally, it would have a fireplace and a long set of stairs that I could make into my 'dream stairs'... white risers, glossy black treads and hand rail, creamy sisal runner up the middle. Well guess what - we got all that and more!
The house is in Leaside. We'll be two blocks from Winners, Home Depot, and Canadian Tire. Cute shops and restaurants are a 15 minute walk away. I can already picture our early Sunday mornings... stopping by Rahier for fresh pastries, dropping by Home Depot (where the staff will quickly know us by name!). I'm feeling disbelief and excitement at all the possibilities. Which reminds me, gotta add more tools to the wedding registry ;)

The paradox
D. W WISELY | Birmingham, AL USA | 07/25/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)
"You don't know me. I'm not given to hyberbole. But, Ebert's right about this film: There's not a better American film. And it IS a thoroughly American film. It's about business, money, pets, love, success, failure. It's all here. I'm grabbing this and taking it with me when the spaceships come. (They're due in September.)"
Human nature on film
timmy | Indiana | 08/24/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Here's what is amazing about Gates of Heaven: Two completely different people could watch it and both enjoy it from different perspectives. For one, this could be a heartwarming, courageous tale about dedicated pet-owners and their struggle to build pet cemeteries. For another, this could be simply a hilarious look at human nature and its peculiar quirks and tendencies. Errol Morris knew he was getting more than information about pet cemeteries when filming Gates of Heaven; he was capturing real, sincere moments by people possessing all kinds of characteristics. Sadness, cynicism, laughter, envy, and the unflinching love for pets is present throughout Gates of Heaven. This film isn't really a documentary about pet cemeteries at all. Rather, it is about human beings, the passions we have, and how we achieve them in this life. Near the end of the film as I watched a young hippie cemetery owner playing his guitar up in the hills, I realized how far this film was reaching for, and how successful it was in reaching it. From the jealousy of a man towards his younger, more successful brother, to the hilarious (and somewhat sad) monologue by a lonely old woman, Gates of Heaven ultimately shows that no matter what people strive to achieve, whether it be pet cemeteries or President of the United States, it's their heart and souls that will remain timeless."
Shashank Tripathi | Gadabout | 03/22/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)
"Chanced upon this DVD by accident, and thought it was a movie. Turned out to be a documentary about two pet cemeteries, and drab as that may sound, it is a brilliant film that reaches far beyond the scope that its description would have you expect. The cinematic production values are top notch, not a simple tryst with a camcorder (which usually serves the purpose for most documentaries) but colors that pop off the screen. The chats with pet owners are moving and poignant. Don't look for something obvious to blow you away. Just watch it, embrace it, and feel it. And then you will wonder at it. It is immensely thought provoking. Highly recommend watching this marvel if you can get your hands on it."
The film is more about human beings, rather than pets.
Dhaval Vyas | Dallastown, PA U.S.A | 05/26/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)
"'Gates of Heaven' is a film by Errol Morris that deals with an ambitious pet cemetery in California. What makes this documentary so facinating has nothing to do with the actual animals, but rather the people who love and care for them. As the film progresses, one will realize it is actually a study of human nature and psychology. With the central focus of giving pets a secure resting place, the film incredibly shows human frailty, ambition, and sadness.
For those who have never had pets, this film can be hard to relate to. My family has never owned any pets, but I've had friends who have had pets. They are very attached to the pets, and the pets are like family memebers. One has to watch this movie with an open heart, or they will never understand the feelings of the people in this documentary. To some of these people, a pet is more of a friend than a human being will ever be, and there is some real truth behind that.
People might get different interpertations of what Morris is trying to show here. To me, 'Gates of Heaven' uses the pet cemetary business as a backdrop to show a much deeper aspects of human nature."

I am a writer!
You know that question: "What would you do if nothing were standing in your way?" Nothing like fear and not knowing how and lack of confidence and the need to make a living. For as long as I can remember-well, maybe not that long, but pretty long-my answer has been, "I would be a writer." I envisioned myself in a tower room with a 360 degree view of mountains and water and sky, losing myself in the characters of a novel. Writing and writing and writing.
Well, I don't have the confidence or skill to write a novel, or even the desire. I do have to make a living. I don't have the tower room. But I am no longer afraid to write. I write to discover who I am and what I am thinking and feeling. I AM a writer, because I write. I share it with you because saying it out loud to the world makes me a better writer. I share it in the hopes that it will spark something in you: perhaps an acknowledgement of your own creativity, perhaps a recognition of something you have not been able to voice, perhaps inspiration to view your world with new intentionality.
I AM A WRITER! Sing out loud, sing out strong.
I welcome your feedback and comment on any of the content, especially what embers are burning in your soul. Especially your stories.

Whale 'love-in' at Byron Bay.
Forget all-day music events, surfin' dudes and hippies at Byron Bay, the famous East Coast town recently played host to a special two-day 'whale love-in'.
Manager of the Cape Byron Marine Park, Andrew Page said the event had been a great opportunity for the local whale-watching industry to come together to share information and experiences.
"The vast majority of humpback whales that travel between the Antarctic feeding grounds and the breeding grounds of the Great Barrier Reef pass through the Cape Byron Marine Park," Page said.
"Cape Byron is the most easterly point on the mainland and has long been recognised as a premier spot for whale-watching. With the expansion of the industry, people now also have the opportunity to take to the sea with various commercial operators to watch the whales from Brunswick Heads, Byron Bay and Ballina," he said, adding that the recent love-in covered lots of ground.
"We focused on the management and conservation of whales, and the conventions and laws surrounding this, as well as the growth and status of whale and dolphin watching globally, in Australia and in the State.
"It was an opportunity to have a refresher on current whale-watching practices and regulations, and to talk about whale and dolphin biology and behaviour," said Page.
Current research being conducted in the marine park, said Page, had led to increased knowledge about the importance of the waters adjacent to Wategos Beach for dolphin mothers and calves, and the importance of the waters off Byron Bay for humpback mothers and calves.
Page said the workshop had been run by Cape Byron Marine Park and Whales Alive, a non-profit organisation dedicated to the protection of whales.
Cape Byron Marine Park is one of six marine parks in NSW and extends from Lennox Head to Brunswick Heads. It includes the tidal waters of the Brunswick River and its tributaries, as well as, Belongil and Tallow Creeks.
For more information contact the Cape Byron Marine Park, phone (02) 6620 9300 or check out the Marine Parks Authority website at www.mpa.nsw.gov.au

the bf and i went on a nice, slow-paced walk through the city. it was a relaxing to not have to walk so briskly, not have to catch a bus. or to run to the next meeting. or meet the next deadline.
i've been so overwhelmed with work, packing, etsy, and...just life.
he asked me to promise him something tonight.
i said, what is it?
"let's enjoy the last 28 days left we have in the city, please? it's all going to be gone before we know it.
let's enjoy it together."
he told me that he didn't even mind the crying or the whining, just that he wants me to really enjoy and savor these times. he's right. it's all going to fly by so fast.
i don't want to tarnish it with my tears of sorrow and stress.
as i'm saying it out loud here, i'm determined to savor my time here in the city with ryan and friend (oh, maybe with shia and patrick - wouldn't hurt, right?). with God's help, i'll continue to rely on His strength and not my own. like mom always told me, one step of a time.
p.s. don't forget to check [sulu] today! it's my turn for the intro-post-interview.
and thanks for all the support that you all have been.
it's so appreciated by us!

The Electric Car; time to take action.
Our cars say a lot about who we are, especially since they are one of the biggest ways that we affect our environment on a daily basis. Since the revolution of the Prius, Americans have begun to change the way they look at their vehicles, and are going with the "greener" choice. However, these cars can be quite expensive. The most affordable electric car on the market right now is the Mitsubishi MiEV at $21,625 MSRP. Personally, I think we can do better than that. After all, we've been making electric cars since the very beginning.
The first vehicles ever created were electric (no, electric cars are not new technology). In 1828, a Hungarian released a small-scale electric car and it went on from there. All cars were battery powered, and some even reached 68 mph! Of course, the discovery of oil in Texas changed everything and started our downhill spiral to now being stuck with outrageous gas prices and $50,000 Prius'. So why is it so difficult to produce these vehicles now? Why are car manufacturers getting "stuck" in the gas-guzzling trend? Politically, there's a lot involved with the relationship between America and oil, but is that really what's stopping us from making the switch to electric? Of course, it is a proven fact that using electricity to power our vehicles is a MUCH better environmental choice overall, so why are we still actively buying gasoline powered vehicles?
Take a look at the diagram below (source: http://wawiti-mobillistrik.blogspot.com/2012/08/working-of-electric-cars.html). I think this is an excellent camparison, and gives us a solid idea of what the differences are.
What's the main component stopping us from making the change from gas to electric? In your opinion, what are the pros and cons of going completely electric?

Newly-elected House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) says that he is not worried about if his role as speaker will taint any chance to run for president in the future because he already missed his best shot.
Speaking with CNN's Dana Bash in an interview that aired on Sunday, Ryan said that if he wanted to run for president, he would've done so this election cycle.
"If I really wanted to be president, I would have run in this cycle for the presidency. I had the chance an opportunity to do so. I chose not to do that," Ryan said. "So I'm perfectly happy and content with this decision."
Ryan's White House ambitions have been a point of speculation for years as he has remained on the sidelines in leadership shakeups in the House Republican caucus.
Many analysts and commentators note that the newly-elected speaker has avoided climbing the ladder in the House partially because of his desire to spend time with his young children, but also as a way to avoid battles that could hurt him should he make a run for the White House.
In a separate CNN interview conducted earlier this week, former House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said that Ryan chose to take on the role of speaker despite his likely desire to be president.
"I think he would've liked to be president but I think he's figured out God had another plan for him," Boehner said.
Though he declared early on that he would not run in 2016, there was some push to get Ryan into the race. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R), who chose Ryan as his vice presidential running mate in 2012, had reportedly nudged Ryan to make a 2016 bid before the congressman decided that he wouldn't seek the presidency.

ATLANTA - The Georgia Senate is losing its second veteran lawmaker in as many days.
Sen. John Bulloch, a Republican from Ochlocknee in south Georgia, submitted his resignation to Gov. Nathan Deal on Thursday, state officials confirmed.
Bulloch served as chairman of the Senate committee that handles agricultural policy. He is perhaps best known for sponsoring legislation that allowed Georgians to vote locally on whether to allow Sunday alcohol sales.
Bulloch's reason for stepping down was not immediately clear. Several news outlets have reported that he has had health problems recently.
A special election is scheduled Jan. 8, the same day as a special election for the metro Atlanta seat vacated this week by Republican Chip Rogers.
Bulloch was elected in 2002 after four years in the House.

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line a large-rimmed baking sheet with a nonstick silicone mat and lightly butter.
In a heavy-bottom saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and corn syrup. Bring to a boil over medium heat; boil until it registers 230 degrees F on a candy thermometer, about 10 minutes. Transfer the almonds to the oven on another large-rimmed baking sheet until warmed through, but not toasted.
When the syrup reaches 239 degrees F, stir the almonds into the syrup with 1 teaspoon salt. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the syrup is 300 degrees F and a rich caramel color; immediately stir in the butter, vanilla, and baking soda.
Pour the brittle mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, folding the border back towards the middle to distribute the heat evenly. Cool completely at room temperature and break into pieces.

This is my ghost gun. To quote the rifleman's creed, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Its called a "ghost gun"—a term popularized by gun control advocates but increasingly adopted by gun lovers too—because it's an untraceable semiautomatic rifle with no serial number, existing beyond law enforcement's knowledge and control. And if I feel a strangely personal connection to this lethal, libertarian weapon, it's because I made it myself, in a back room of WIREDs downtown San Francisco office on a cloudy afternoon.
I did this mostlyalone. I have virtually no technical understanding of firearms and a Cro-Magnon mans mastery of power tools. Still, I made a fully metal, functional, and accurate AR-15. To be specific, I made the rifle's lower receiver; that's the body of the gun, the only part that US law defines and regulates as a "firearm." All I needed for my entirely legal DIY gunsmithing project was about six hours, a 12-year-olds understanding of computer software, an $80 chunk of aluminum, and a nearly featureless black 1-cubic-foot desktop milling machine called the Ghost Gunner.
The Ghost Gunner is a $1,500 computer-numerical-controlled (CNC) mill sold by Defense Distributed, the gun access advocacy group that gained notoriety in 2012 and 2013 when it began creating 3-D-printed gun parts and the Liberator, the worlds first fully 3-D-printed pistol. While the political controversy surrounding the notion of a lethal plastic weapon that anyone can download and print has waxed and waned, Defense Distributed's DIY gun-making has advanced from plastic to metal. Like other CNC mills, the Ghost Gunner uses a digital file to carve objects out of aluminum. With the first shipments of this sold-out machine starting this spring, the group intends to make it vastly easier for normal people to fabricate gun parts out of a material that's practically as strong as the stuff used in industrially manufactured weapons.
The Ghost Gunner may signal a new era where the barrier to building an untraceable semiautomatic rifle is lower than ever before.
In early May, I got a Ghost Gunner, the first of these rare CNC mills loaned to a media outlet, and I tried it out. I'm going to give away the ending: Aside from a single brief hardware hiccup, it worked remarkably well. In fact, the Ghost Gunner worked so well that it may signal a new era in the gun control debate, one where the barrier to legally building an untraceable, durable, and deadly semiautomatic rifle has reached an unprecedented low point in cost and skill.
But the Ghost Gunner represents an evolution of amateur gun-making, not a revolution. Homebrew gunsmiths have been making ghost guns for years, machining lower receivers to legally assemble rifles that fall outside the scope of American firearms regulations. In fact, when we revealed the Ghost Gunners existence last year, the comments section of my story flooded with critics pointing out that anyone can do the same garage gunsmithing work with an old-fashioned drill press.
I could hardly judge the fancy new CNC mill in WIREDs office without trying that method too. Or for that matter, Defense Distributeds previous trick, building gun parts with a 3-D printer. Before I realized exactly what I was getting into, I determined to try all three methods in a ghost-gun-making case study. I would build an untraceable AR-15 all three ways Ive heard of: using the old-fashioned drill press method, a commercially available 3-D printer, and finally, Defense Distributed's new gun-making machine.
The Ingredients of a Ghost Gun
Almost no one builds a ghost gun from scratch, and I didnt either. The shortest path to building an untraceable AR-15 requires only that you build one relatively simple component yourself, a part thats become the focus of a fierce gun control controversy: the lower receiver.
US gun regulations have focused on the lower receiver because its the essential core of a gun: It holds together the stock, the grip, the ammunition magazine, and the upper receiver, which includes the barrel and the chamber where the cartridge is detonated. As Doug Wicklund, senior curator at the NRA museum explained to me, the lower receiver always has carried the serial number because it's the part that remains when the others wear out and are replaced. Like the frame of a bicycle or the motherboard of a computer, it's the nucleus of the machine around which everything else is constructed.
Its worth noting that buying an AR-15 in the US isnt hard. But the privacy-minded—as well as those disqualified from gun purchases by criminal records or mental illness—can make their own lower receiver and purchase all of the other parts, which are subject to nearly zero regulation. I ordered every part of my AR-15 but the lower receiver from the website of Ares Armor, a Southern California gun seller that doesnt require any personal information beyond a shipping address. If I wanted to hide my purchases from my credit card company, I could have paid in bitcoin—Ares accepts it.
There's even a way to anonymously buy that highly regulated lower receiver—almost. Like many gun vendors, Ares sells what's known as an "80 percent lower," a chunk of aluminum legally deemed to be 80 percent of the way toward becoming a functional lower receiver. Because it lacks a few holes and a single precisely shaped cavity called the trigger well, it's not technically a regulated gun part.
Buying or selling a ghost gun is illegal. Making one remains kosher under US gun control laws.
Machining the last 20 percent myself with a CNC mill or drill press would allow me to obtain a gun without a serial number, without a background check, and without a waiting period. I wouldnt even have to show anyone ID. Law enforcement would be entirely ignorant of my ghost guns existence. And that kind of secrecy appeals to Americans who consider their relationship with their firearms a highly personal affair that the government should keep out of.
Controversy swelled around ghost guns when John Zawahri, an emotionally disturbed 23-year-old, used one to kill five people in Santa Monica in the summer of 2013. Even so, they haven't been outlawed; buying or selling a ghost gun is illegal, but making one remains kosher under US gun control laws. California state senator Kevin Deleon introduced a bill to ban ghost guns last year, following the Santa Monica mass shooting. Governor Jerry Brown vetoed it a few months later.
But as the shouting match over ghost guns gets louder, few of the shouters have actually tried to make one. Even fewer have tried to test how the evolution of a new set of digital maker tools is changing that gun control question.
So over the course of one strange week in WIREDs office, that's what I set out to do. Here's how it all went down.
The Drill Press
Remember when I said I know nothing about using power tools? Unsurprisingly, this portion of my gunsmithing experiment didn't go well.
Step one: Acquire a drill press, a massive stand-alone drill meant to cut the aluminum features out of my 80 percent-lower receiver. One $250 rental fee later, two colleagues helped me haul a drill nearly 6feet tall down to our building's loading dock, a dark and chilly concrete space occupied by a pair of large Dumpsters. I'd paid Ares $97 for a set of steel-carbide drill bits and end mills—tools that act like bits but also can cut sideways like a milling machine—all of which the company recommended I use with the drill press to do the job. I paid another $110 for a set of steel jigs, metal stencils that would guide the machine as I tried to mill and drill precise shapes.
As the drill bit chewed into the block, I tasted fine aluminum dust between my teeth.
All that planning and spending, it turned out, couldn't compensate for my utter lack of even high-school-level shop skills. Before I'd even begun, I realized I had the wrong sort of vise, and we had to drive an hour and drop $80 to pick up another one. Then there was the drilling itself—which, it would turn out, is not aseasy as it looks on the Internet.
I reviewed my lower-receiver drilling basics on YouTube one last time, put on latex gloves and eye protection, screwed the steel jigs around my slug of aluminum, tightened the clamps, and hit the chunky green power button.
As the drill bit chewed into the block, I felt a rush of excitement and tasted fine aluminum dust betweenmy teeth. The bit threw off metal shavings and left behind a gleaming, polished crater. But my elation faded as I realized how badly I was mangling the trigger well. No matter how hard I cinched it down, the vise shuddered constantly, moving the aluminum piece. The holes I was cutting veered off until they were practically diagonal.
When I switched to the end mill to clean up the spaces between the pits I'd created, I found they were mostly at different depths: The drill bit had somehow moved up and down, and I hadn't noticed. The bottom of the cavity I'd made began to resemble the surface of the moon. Meanwhile, the massive machine protested loudly, shaking like a train about to derail. Throughout this ordeal, WIRED video producer Patrick Farrell, a former bike mechanic who probably could have offered helpful advice, watched me struggle from behind his camera with a restrained smirk. The unwritten rule: I was in this alone.
I kept at it for five and a half hours. Then the head of the drill press—the part that holds the bit, which I'd later learn is called the "chuck"—fell off. I had no idea whether this was supposed to happen as a kind of fail-safe, or if I had destroyed an expensive piece of equipment rented with Farrells credit card. I screwed the chuck back in, and after a few more minutes of metal-on-metal violence, it dropped off again. (I still dont know if I damaged the drill press, but a gunsmith later explained to me that it likely wasn't designed to handle the lateral pressure of using it as a milling machine.)
That's when I gave up. I had nothing to show for my labor but a sad metal block scarred by a maze of crooked channels. Well, that and a left hand bristling with tiny aluminum shards where my latex glove had split.
3-D Printing
I left the grease-soaked drill press in WIRED's loading dock, headed back upstairs, and pulled a $2,800 Makerbot Replicator from its box. It felt like the elevator was a time machine shortcutting about a century of technological progress.
I plugged in the 3-D printer, followed a series of delightfully idiotproof instructions, and in minutes was test-printing a tiny white coffee table. Soon I was ready to start making gun parts; no obscure YouTube instruction videos, calipers, jigs, or aluminum splinters required.
I found the blueprint for a printable, reinforced AR-15 lower receiver on The Pirate Bay. It was one of dozens of gun parts available for download in the rogue BitTorrent repository's "physibles" section, a part of the site presciently created in 2012 to host controversial digital blueprints other sites wouldn't or couldn't. In fact, the file I downloaded had been created by Defense Distributed in 2013, but the group had pulled it from its own website after the State Department threatened to prosecute the group's staff for weapons-export-control violations.
It took a few minutes to torrent the lower receiver file. I opened it in Makerbot's printing application, centered it on the app's digital representation of the machine's print bed, and clicked print. The printers motors began to whir, and within seconds its print head was laying out extruded white plastic in a flat structure that vaguely resembled the body of a semiautomatic rifle. As the workday ended and WIRED's office emptied, I found myself sitting alone in a darkening room, transfixed by the gun component slowly materializing before me.
At one point, six hours into the nine-hour print job, the Replicator's print head overheated and took some time to cool down. That required pressing one more button on the machine. I didn't touch it again. The next morning I came back to the still-dark room and found a finished, eerily translucent lower receiver glowing inside the Replicator's LED-lit chamber.
As science-fictional as that process felt, the results were flawed. When I pried the finished lower receiver off the print bed, one side was covered in support material meant to prevent the hot plastic structures from collapsing before they solidified. Snapping and scraping off that matrix of plastic was a long, messy process. I tried using a knife, cut my thumb, and bled all over one side of the rifle body. And the same support materials also filled tiny holes in the piece, in some cases choking the delicate threads meant to accept metal screws.
It's clearly possible, based on YouTube evidence, to 3-D-print AR-15 lower receivers that are capable of firing hundreds of rounds. But mine wasn't so practical; I wouldn't know it until I visited a gunsmith two days later, but I'd eventually give up on assembling a gun out of that plastic-printed lower receiver long before it was anywhere close to a becoming a functional weapon.
The Ghost Gunner
The new generation of maker tools like 3-D printers and CNC mills have been lauded as machines that allow anyone to make anything. But from my first moments using the Ghost Gunner, it was clear: This is a machine designed to make a gun.
Defense Distributeds CNC mill is a simple black cube, with two tiny stepper motors sticking out of two of its six sides. As if to underscore the power contained in its microwave-sized footprint, the machine was so heavy I could barely lift it from its box. When I did haul it onto a table, I was struck by the lack of branding or the toylike LED lights and buttons of the Replicator. Its stark simplicity mirrors the unmarked gun parts it's designed to create.
Eventually, it felt much more like the Ghost Gunner had programmed me to be its gun-making tool than vice versa.
The Ghost Gunner works with either of two pieces of software: GRBL, an open source, general-purpose milling application, and DDCut, a Windows-only gun-milling program created by Defense Distributed and recommended by the group for anyone other than advanced CNC mill users. The Ghost Gunner also comes with the DDCut instruction file for milling an AR-15 lower receiver, shipped on a USB thumb drive in the box. (Putting it on the Internet, as with the 3-D-printable files, might have prompted the State Department to threaten Defense Distributed with prosecution again for weapons-export-control violations.)
I installed DDCut and found that for its primary purpose of finishing a lower receiver, the Ghost Gunner is absurdly easy to use—mostly because I was never given the chance to make any choices. Once DDCut began running the AR-15 file and cutting into my 80 percent-lower receiver, my only interaction with the software was clicking "next" through a 22-step set of instructions and then doing things to the aluminum part that the software told me to do.
For one hour-long stretch in that process, I was given nothing to do but simply admire the Ghost Gunner as its blurred, cylindrical blade cut away the gun's trigger well with inhuman precision. At other times it seemed to alternate between carving aluminum and assigning me tasks like changing the lower receiver's position, tightening and loosening bolts, switching the end mill to a drill bit, or even vacuuming up the aluminum shavings that piled up in and around the machine. Eventually, it felt much more like the Ghost Gunner had programmed me to be its gun-making tool than vice versa.
Over those hours, I couldn't help but appreciate the beauty of the Ghost Gunner's design and engineering. As it patiently removed metal, the aluminum piece and the cutting tool moved in robotic, mesmerizing patterns. The noises the machine produced alternated between high-pitched shrieking and low groans that echoed through the WIRED newsroom and elicited complaints from neighbors. But during quieter lulls, the Ghost Gunner also emitted a series of rising and falling harmonics, produced by vibrations of the mill's stepper motors, that sounded like a kind of alien melody. My editor, Joe Brown, who came into the room to watch the machine at work, remains convinced the machine was programmed to play a piece of composed music.
When it was only three steps away from finishing its full process, however, the Ghost Gunner hit a serious snag. The probe the mill uses to measure the lower receiver's location malfunctioned, and the machine locked itself. To get it moving again, I had to break the rules of my experiment and call Cody Wilson, Defense Distributed's founder, to seek advice. At first he told me I'd have to rerun the entire process—close to four hours of wasted time. "It's a design flaw," Wilson admitted. "If it stops, it has to start again from the beginning."
But Wilson soon came up with a better plan and sent me a new file that rehearsed only the last portion of the AR-15 cutting process. Twenty minutes later I pulled from the machine the shining, perfect body of a semiautomatic rifle, as warm as if it were some baked good fresh from the oven.
The Ghost Gunner's lower receiver looked obviously superior to my 3-D-printed one—and even more obviously superior to the hot mess of uneven aluminum I'd chewed up with the drill press. But before assembling the full weapon, I wanted an expert opinion. So I visited Bay Area Gunsmithing, a sunny garage in Novato, California, populated by two professional gunsmiths, a very impressive collection of ordnance, and a gracefully aging dachshund named Ruth.
When I showed my manually drilled lower receiver to Nathan Rynder, the shop's owner, he dismissed it immediately. The hammer and trigger wouldn't fit into the narrow, winding gorge of thetrigger well I'd created, and I hadn't even gotten as far as drilling holes for the selector and trigger pins. (He did note that he'd seen worse attempts, including a customer who had brought him a lower receiver with a gaping, unintended orifice drilled through its side.)
I was more surprised when Rynder insulted my 3-D-printed lower receiver. "This is not ready to rock," he said, skeptically probing the part's details with his fingers. He pointed out that the blueprint had misplaced something called a "takedown pin hole," and he made a further to-do list of necessary fixes before it could be assembled. "You'd need to thread in a pistol grip, clean out the buffer tube threads, clean up everything a pin went through," Rynder said. "Youd need several hours of labor to clean this thing up."
Just the idea of a 3-D-printedlower receiver bothered him; if the ring that held on the buffer tube and stock (the big loop at the back of the receiver) were to break, he pointed out, it could unleash a large and powerful spring inches from the shooter's face. "It scares me," Rynder said.
My Ghost Gunnermilled AR-15 body, by contrast, got a stoic nod of approval. Rynder—who, allow me to stress, makes guns for a living—wasn't exactly wowed that I'd produced a functional, essentially flawless lower receiver. But he gave me the go-ahead to build it into a full rifle. "It's safe to assemble, safe to fire," he said. "Yes, you could put this together and it would be ready to go."
Over the next hour in Rynder's shop, I constructed my AR-15. This was harder than Forrest Gump makes it look. But I persisted, learning the process as I went by watching a YouTube video from Ares Armor a few seconds at a time. (At a couple of points, Rynder couldn't help but point out that I had inserted a part backward or give me an unsolicited hint. I suppose this was cheating in my one-man gunsmithing experiment, but unfortunately Rynder was a very friendly, helpful, and competent person.)
When I finally slotted in the pins to attach the upper receiver—a component that looks much more like a gun than the lower receiver and whose total lack of regulation is, frankly, bizarre—they made a pleasant chink. My AR-15 was complete.
I looked down at the fully built rifle and something in my brain shifted. I realized that the abstracted parts I'd been fiddling with had turned into an object capable of killing someone. My lower receiver had transformed from a "gun" in a legal sense to a "gun" in a very practical sense.
I remembered that I should start being careful where I pointed it.
Three days later, at a private range in Richmond, California, a half hour from Rynder's shop, I loaded my AR-15 with a 10-round magazine of .223 caliber ammunition and fired it for the first time. I pulled the trigger hesitantly as I aimed at a piece of cardboard 50 yards away. The deafening blast silenced the tweeting of nearby birds and echoed around the range's wooden walls as the rifle's stock dug into my shoulder. I could see a tiny hole in the cardboard. A plume of dust rose from the dirt berm behind it.
"Well, it goes bang," Rynder said.
I fired again. Then three more times. Then I emptied the magazine. Then I reloaded and emptied another one.
Halfway through the next magazine, I pulled the trigger but got nothing but a soft click. The rangemaster, who happened to be a former winner of the shooting competition reality TV show Top Shot named Chris Cheng, diagnosed that the upper receiver had jammed and needed to be lubricated—a common problem with new rifles. He opened it up and doused the bolt and buffer parts in grease, then put the upper receiver back on.
My rifle performed perfectly for the rest of the morning. After our video team fired the rest of the 40 rounds I'd brought, Rynder walked over to the neighboring range and convinced the friendly local SWAT team members practicing there to give us another 60 rounds. We shot those too. The gun didn't misfire again.
Exorcising My Ghost Gun
The day after that shooting field trip, I had a flight home to New York. Taking my ghost gun on a plane—legally, three ghost guns, in fact, since I had created three lower receivers—seemed unwise. I couldn't leave them in WIRED's office in San Francisco either, because that might count as legally transferring ownership of the unserialized guns, which is a felony. I considered destroying them with a hacksaw, but regulations posted online by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms seem to demand that a lower receiver be destroyed with a blowtorch, removing enough metal that it can't possibly be welded back together.
So instead I decided to surrender my three lower receivers to the local police. I disassembled my AR-15 and left a large box containing all of the parts except the lower receivers on my editor's chair. Then I walked down the street to the police station in San Francisco's SoMa neighborhood and told the lady at the front desk I wanted to hand over some firearm components. She gave me a puzzled look and asked me to sit down.
Forty minutes later, two cops emerged from a door and asked what I was doing there. I explained and showed them the three lower receivers. They examined them with expressions that were simultaneously quizzical and bored. I asked them if it was common to see AR-15 lower receivers like these: homemade, with no serial numbers. "I've never seen this before," one of them said.
The cops gave me a handwritten receipt for the three weapons I'd turned in, as if to definitively show that these were no longer outside of law enforcement's awareness or control: They now had a number. Then they took my lower receivers behind their locked door and I said goodbye to my ghost gun.
When this story published, the Ghost Gunner still sat in a storage room of WIRED's office a few blocks away. It's ready to make another lower receiver at any time. And Defense Distributed has already sold more than a thousand of their gun-making boxes, each one a tiny, easy-to-use, anarchic rifle factory.
In other words, to paraphrase the rifleman's creed again, this ghost gun was mine. But there will be many like it.

- "My weapons contain enough destructive power to decimate every hostile capital on Earth. Quite simply, gentlemen, I have harnessed the power of the gods."
- ―Johann Schmidt to Roeder, Schneider, and Hutter
The HYDRA Cannon was one of the first advanced weapons that were designed by Arnim Zola when he managed to harness the power of the Tesseract by using a special battery that stores it.
In 1943, when three SS officers came to HYDRA Headquarters to question Johann Schmidt about HYDRA's failure to deliver promised weapons to the German armies in the front lines, Schmidt showed them his Tesseract-powered cannon. But when they discovered that Schmidt intends to nuke Berlin and overthrow the Nazi Führer Adolf Hitler, Schmidt used the cannon to vaporize them all. That was a clear sign of his breakaway from Nazi Germany.[1]
Soon, similar cannons were installed on several HYDRA vehicles, including the tanks. In November 1943, when Captain America freed four hundred Allied prisoners from a HYDRA factory, they used one of those vehicles to escape, and destroyed much of the factory with the cannon.[1]
In April 1944, Captain America invaded a castle controlled by HYDRA on an island in the Nazi occupied Danish straits. After he defeated a soldier equipped with the advanced exo-skeleton battle suit, he commandeered a vehicle and killed several HYDRA soldiers with the cannon.[2]
By the beginning of 1945, HYDRA's super bomber, the Valkyrie, was finished. The plane was armed with several HYDRA cannons. When the United States Army attacked Schmidt's last base, he flew away with the intention to bombard New York City. When Captain America followed the bomb-loaded plane in a flying bomb, Schmidt shoot at him, but his shots all missed.[1]

this is a brilliant release. i'm not sure how many folks out there truly comprehend what is fueling this beast & what is involved in making the gears spin
it's not common for a highly opinionated, self-righteous/highly critical and extremist-high standard bearing hound such as myself to endorse anything, by anyone, anywhere. i may have already "endorsed" this, but since i cant remember if i did, i found it fitting to write a monologue stating what most already know
there is always a time when an irrefutably powerful force of nature demands acknowledgment - this is it. i cant even look at the syntax within sci-fi without wanting to CRY. haha
most impressive on all fronts - and its built from scratch. i highly recommend this to anyone who has heard of or has access to the source engine
indeed, i salute the author, his quality of craftsmanship & his additional & equally admirable informational contributions to the entire community which indirectly served as a mentor to many of us - paving the way for late bloomers such as myself & casual/avid users alike!
vote this man for president
thank you & well done fitzroy!!

Entry Rationale
It began with a pre-flight safety video featuring the All Blacks. It resulted in a social media campaign that surpassed all of its objectives and generated over 11.5 million views, and over 110,000 social shares.
Air New Zealand is the international and primary national airline of New Zealand. Their audiences include customers who fly with them plus their own complement of 10,500 staff. But they also have a responsibility to connect with all New Zealanders whom they represent on a global stage.
Pre-flight safety briefings are a necessary interruption before every flight. Done right, they're also a highly entertaining and effective marketing tool.
So an entertaining, engaging and informative pre-flight safety video was created starring the All Blacks called Men In Black – Safety Defenders. This video was an expansion of the MIB world and featured a number of stars from the existing movies and music videos.
In collaboration with Sony Pictures, a truly authentic feel was created. To ensure this video looked like the real-deal, an incredible range of sets, props, plates, characters, and animations was negotiated. Shot on location in Los Angeles and New Zealand, full use was made of existing sets. Actors from previous films were used and the art direction and scriptwriting of the original mimicked.
The safety video itself was based around the Grammy-winning title-track Men In Black by Will Smith, and was performed by local musician Stan Walker and All Black Israel Dagg. The lyrics were re-written to include the series of safety instructions passengers would normally hear while taxiing down the runway.
This was an incredible challenge to accomplish in a very tight time frame.

The Reconciliation of Fire, Ice, and Eyre
In the novel Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte explores a patriarchal Victorian society, where Nature clashes with monotheist Christianity, and passion clashes with reason. As Jane develops, conflicted with these polarized binaries, Bronte examines the dichotomy between the fire of passion and emotion and the ice of spirituality and rationality. Through Jane's internal conflict with Rochester and Bertha, Bronte employs a recurring fire motif to delineate the vulnerabilities of an unrestrained burning passion, with emotions overpowering the ability to reason and think. Through Jane's internal struggle with St. John, Bronte uses iterations of the ice motif to suggest that the extreme renunciation of self-desires and the embrace of rationality and spirituality shroud corporeal passions that would otherwise kindle warmth and individuality in a frigidly stratified society. By coupling these antithesis elemental motifs with the influences of Rochester, Bertha, and St. John, Brontë explores the balance of passion and rationality as catalysis for the development of identity and ultimately its impetus for the augmentation of humanity and its condition.
Bronte uses a fire motif to portray the burning unrestrained passions of Jane and her conflict with Rochester and Bertha in order to explore how unbridled passion, in the absence of rationality, clouds the perception of spiritual and societal morality. Despite Rochester's "callous" appearance, Jane is attracted by his "pleasurable and genial…face…his presence more cheering than the brightest fire" (Brontë 146).By dichotomizing Jane's enamor of Rochester's "pleasurable and genial face" with his physical "callous" features, Bronte accentuates the extent to which Jane is entranced with her passion of love and blind to his flaws, his "callous[ness]."Rochester is not just her "bright fire" but "the brightest fire." Through Jane's superlative proclamation and fire motif, Bronte also adumbrates at the protagonist's naivety of her "brightest fire" passion. Without fully rationalizing Rochester's special treatment towards her or his subsequent seduction in the garden, Jane continues to "lavish the love of the whole heart, soul, and strength," listening more to her flaming emotions than her logic, the need to "keep to your caste" (162). Likewise, Brontë uses the "brightest fire" motif to show that Jane's inexperience with passionate love obscures her rational judgment of questioning Rochester's motives, smoldering her ability to reason under a conflagration of feelings.
Ultimately, as Jane learns about Rochester's manipulation and secret wife,rationality emerges, and the flames of her passionate love waver. She asserts that "him who thus loved me I absolutely worshipped: and I must renounce love and idol. One drear word comprised of my duty – 'Depart!'" (315). Jane understands that although she "love[s] him," it is logical to "depart," her "duty" to still retain her moral principles of society by not joining in Rochester's immoral corruption. Her "duty" of empowered rationality allows her to logically "renounce" the enslaving power that Rochester asserts and seek a different lifestyle without stifling either passion or moral. Thus, Bronte uses Jane's reentrance of reason in her internal conflict of passion to suggest that rationality instills clear judgment and helps pave way for a more moral, spiritual life.
Additionally, through Bertha, Brontë utilizes the wild fire motif to depict the dangers of an extreme uncontrollable burning passion – Bertha's violent rage against the stifling constraints of a patriarchal society –that obstruct rationality and the moral boundaries."Gurgl[ing] and moan[ing]," Bertha lights Rochester's bed on fire, "tongues of flame darted round…in the midst of blaze" (148). The wildness of the "tongues of flame" and "blaze" illustrates the magnitude of Bertha's madness and her emblematic rage against societal confinement and feminist oppression. Coupled with the blazing fire motif, her "gurgles" and "moans" depict her as an animal, through which Brontë suggests that her state of mind has gone beyond rationality and morality.
Due to this extreme unbalance of passionate ire and rationality, Bertha's savagery literally induces dangers, such as the attempt of burning Rochester alive or the mangle of Mason. Thus, through her blazing incarceration, Brontë underscores these physical dangers as additional extreme vulnerabilities of an unreconciled infernal passion with cold reason.Yet, Bertha's animalistic qualities do not solely pertain to herself; they also reflect Jane's internal features. As Gilbert suggests, "the imprisoned Bertha…is the 'bad animal' who was ten-year-old Jane…emblematic of her mind in its rebellion against society" (5).With Bertha as Jane's darkest double, Bronte portrays an extreme example of the unbalanced unbridled passion, "rebellion against society," and absent rationality to reinforce the idea of the need to reconcile passion with reason.
Through Jane's internal struggle with St. John, Bronte utilizes an ice motif to examine the surrender of passion to cold rational piety and the consequential unhealthy depravity of the individual's condition.Observing St. John, Jane notes the "cold cumbrous" aurathat he possesses yet strongly asserts that he is "a good man," doing "what was good and great, certainly" (393). Through passionate judgment, Jane recognizes the "cumbrous" coldness that underlies St. John's character. However, her reason, influenced and almost inculcated by St. John, overpowers her emotional examination. She rationally yet too simply connects that St. John's unwavering Christian devotion makes him "a good man," and thus concludes that he is only capable of doing the "good and great," the moral.Through Jane's early disregard of her instinctual passion of fire and embrace of logic and – unknowingly – rhetorical fallacy, Brontë utilizes the initial "cold cumbrous" imagery of ice to foreshadow the impending snowstorm of anguish that Jane obliviously enters.
As Jane endures St. John's tasks of learning Hindustani and rationally obeys, she experiences "icy kisses…freezing spells" and ignores the turbulent passion that inwardly shouts of the inequities of "disowning half my nature, stifling half my faculties" (397-398). By employing the ice motifs of "icy kisses" and "freezing spells" that "[stifle] half [of Jane's] faculties," Bronte evokes a sense of arctic frigidity that barricades and internally pains Jane in an icy prison of control. Brontë further suggests that without passion, "half my nature," Jane is semi-aware of the patriarchal dominance that St. John exerts through his "spell" of control and Divine Providence.His freezing spells "appear to cloud and obscure [Eyre's] judgment" (La Monaca 3).Subduing emotional passion for the logical follow of St. John and thus God's will, Jane continues to wish to please him, but eventually "[awakes]…trembling and quivering…the convulsion of despair" (Brontë 367) and exclaiming that "to burn inwardly…would be unendurable!" (408). Through Jane's "convulsion of despair," Bronte uses her boiling anguish right after the usage of the ice motif to illuminate the extreme degree of Jane's depravity and highlight the unhealthiness of an unbalance between passionate self-indulgence and cold rational self-restraint. Additionally, Jane's suppressed passion "awakes," empowering her to emotionally melt the "unendurable" dehumanizing ice of frigid female oppression imposed by St. John. Thus, Bronte uses the ice motif and Jane's internal boiling conflict with St. John to examine that passion rekindles the flames of spiritual healthiness and ultimately feminism strength.
As Jane returns to the debilitated Rochester as a new enlightened woman, Bronte uses Jane's strengthened individuality of independence and compassion to lastly exemplify reconciliation of blazing passion and frozen rationality as an enhancement to the human identity. Blind and crippled, Rochester is moved by Jane's "affectionate heart and generous spirit…[of] sacrifices" and more than ever attracted to his little "fairy" and her newfound "independence" (434-435). Emerging from her various previous internal conflicts, Jane has learned to balance the "heart" or passion with "spirit of sacrifices" or principled rationality, metaphorically transforming into Rochester's true "fairy."As a "fairy," Jane symbolically carries wings of freedom. As Gilbert suggests, Jane is freed from the chains of Rochester and St. John, no longer the "slave of passion" or the oppressed under the "iron shroud of principle" (6). It is through the reconciliation of elemental passion of fire and rationality of ice that Jane breaks the confinements of St. John's and Rochester's patriarchal control and ultimately discovers"independence" and compassion without losing spiritual morality, unlike Bertha. Yet, despite Jane's retained autonomy and her decision to remain with Rochester, ambiguities of their relationship continue to pervade even at the ending. By choosing Rochester and her overly sentimental pleasure for him, Jane leans more to passion than rationality, and as Jane reads St. John's letter, she cries "human tears…filled with "Divine joy" (452). Brontë uses Jane's tears to show that dissonance in Jane's 'balance' between the Byronic fire Rochester and "Divine" ice St. John still continues. However, even so, Bronte utilizes Jane's unity with Rochester to show the empowerment of a balance between passion and reason, even though not entirely perfect.
Thus, Bronte uses a dichotomy of fire and ice motifs to not only portray the internal conflicts that Jane faces with Rochester, Bertha, and St. John but also further explore Jane's ultimate development of her psyche through the reconciliation of passion and rationality. Through Jane's convergence of rationality and passion into a healthy but not completely perfect balance, Bronte examines the overarching equilibrium of the two as an enhancement for the human condition, where passion instills compassion, and rationality unfolds spiritual morality. Jane Eyre's ultimate development of individuality and identity illuminates humanity's possible path of empowerment through the balanced preservation of passion and rationality.

Can documenting and sharing moments of happiness actually make us happier?
Happy people are healthier and live longer. They are more likely to help others. And there is a direct correlation between happiness and better problem solving. In light of that, if we could identify and reflect on moments of discrete happiness, is it possible that could change our behavior so that we're actually happier?
My Role
UX Designer. With time running out and the final documentation delivery deadline quickly approaching, I joined the project to fix unresolved interactions, reduce friction points, design unfinished screens, and create documentation.
The client, a top healthwellness creative agency, initially spec'd the native iOS app as a way to catalog and document moments that brought personal happiness. The second version of the requirements included new functionality — social networking to add the ability to share with others. Additionally, it increased the number of types of happy moments to include "ephiphanies", "music","landscapes," and others. I had a week to design new components and deliver high-fidelity documentation.
Design Decisions
One of the challenges was reconciling the friction point created by requiring users to categorize the type of their happy memory (person, place, thought, etc.) with the benefit of being able to view happy moments by type. While feedback indicated that the latter was a nice way to view posts, there was not sufficient user data at the time to determine whether it actually made the experience better or was unlikely to be used. As a result, all of the additional post types that were requested were removed from the spec for this version.
An additional challenge was the design of the 'happy wall' – a visualization of the user's posts. The requirement was to allow a user to view their posts and friends' posts and sort them by type, level of happiness, newest, and nearest. I believed the number of options would create confusion and dilute the experience rather than improve it. The stakeholders agreed and the additional sort filters were removed for the initial release.
With a bevy of social media apps already available, user adoption of this app depended on providing a meaningful yet different social interaction and delivering that in an easy, pleasant and straightforward experience. Both of these could benefit from continued refinement.
Through feedback and process, a lot of complexity was removed, and stakeholders deserve credit for flexibility and adjusting business requirements, but more simplification would be beneficial. Additionally, the tight timeline affected ability to collect feedback or meaningful data to present to stakeholders.

Symantec Antivirus Library Remote Heap Overflows Dec 20 2005 01:58PM
list rem0te com
December 20, 2005
The Symantec Antivirus Library provides file format support for virus analysis. During decompression of RAR files Symantec is vulnerable to multiple heap overflows allowing attackers complete control of the system(s) being protected. These vulnerabilities can be exploited remotely without user interaction in default configurations through common protocols such as SMTP.
Successful exploitation of Symantec protected systems allows attackers unauthorized control of data and related privileges. It also provides leverage for further network compromise. Symantec implementations are likely vulnerable in their default configuration. In default configurations users are likely vulnerable regardless of whether they choose to open or read the email.
Affected Products
Due to the libraryâ??s modular design and core functionality; it is likely this vulnerability affects a substantial portion of Symantecâ??s gateway, server, & client antivirus-enabled product lines on most platforms. In fact, the scope of this vulnerability is likely similar to the one described in the following link and also includes more current versions.
Further, this library is also licensed to a substantial number of venders with products/services that are likely affected. A small sample of these vendors can be found in the following link.
Disable scanning of RAR compressed files until the vulnerable code is fixed.

It's a promo picture for the Jill Stuart Spring 2012 collection.
What I found really interesting is the mix of peach cheeks and pink lips, as the usual "rule" is to match your lip and cheek wardrobes. Well, what are makeup rules for, if not to be broken?
I decided to give this particular look a try.
Due to extremely cold weather, foundation is currently Illamasqua Cream in 133, applied with a Real Technique stippling brush.
I started with Nars Sex Appeal on the cheeks but it wasn't showing up enough for my liking, so I added a bit of Illamasqua Lover on top.
The eyeshadow is... my Givenchy Lune Rosee Glow Blush! I don't own pink eyeshadows anymore, I don't find they're very flattering on me. I used Mac Typographic as a liner. The pink gloss is a random one. I don't have strawberry pink lipglosses in my collection, really.
Not too sure about the pink eyes, I decided to try a different warm/cool combination. This one was actually inspired by Jennie over at Sailboat.
Same foundation, same peach blush, but on the eyes I'm wearing Nars Etrusque, Illamasqua Bronx, and Bobbi Brown Chocolate Shimmer Ink liner.
The lipstick is Mac Lickable.
I must say that I am much more comfortable with that second version, I find the warm eye and fuchsia lip much easier to wear than a pink lid.
Do you mix warm and cool shades in the same look? What are your favorite combinations?
