TelcoSecDay @ Troopers looks pretty awesome. Too bad that I can't go because of the 100% overlap with CanSec. Sadly this seems to be a new trend that a number of top conferences overlap or are so close to each other that it is impossible to attend both.

Somebody is selling fake versions of the Android Hacker's Handbook on Amazon. Indicators are missing pictures or the white book backside (original one is black).

We recently presented BabelCrypt at Financial Crypto. I would love to see a usable implementation of this. Unfortunately I don't have the time to make this happen. I would pay money for this app.
