The world's first human trial of pro-vitamin A-enriched banana, expected to lift the health and well-being of millions of Ugandans and other East Africans will start very soon.

Researchers at MIT's Decentralized Information Group (DIG) are developing a new protocol they call "HTTP with Accountability,” or HTTPA, designed to fight the "inadvertent misuse" of data by people authorized to access it.

Every time the server transmitted a piece of sensitive data, it would also send a description of the restrictions on the data’s use. And it would also log the transaction, using the URI, in a network of encrypted servers.

The lawyers behind the "porn trolling" operation have already been ordered to pay more than a half-million dollars in sanctions in various cases, and two judges have asked law enforcement agencies to take a look at Prenda's activities.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) tore into major U.S. tech firms Wednesday for their opposition to a House surveillance reform bill that many internet industry leaders have denounced as too weak.

You can’t easily encrypt documents using the net’s biggest file sharing services, including those from Google, Microsoft, and Dropbox.

For the truly paranoid, the best solutions is to use open-source software to encrypt the file on your computer before it’s uploaded to Google or Microsoft’s networks. That way, if someone — the NSA perhaps — compromises Google’s network, it still can’t read your stuff.

Imagine Google Drive with no search capabilities, or Dropbox with no preview. None of those features would work with encrypted files, because they’d be unreadable by Google and Dropbox’s server software.

Most of us, at some point in our careers, have experienced a bad boss. These terrors demoralise employees, walk around with an ego the size of Russia and make colleagues cringe as soon as they in the room or bellow down the hall.
