Security requires a particular mindset. Security professionals — at least the good ones — see the world differently. They can’t walk into a store without noticing how they might shoplift. They can’t use a computer without wondering about the security vulnerabilities. They can’t vote without trying to figure out how to vote twice. They just can’t help it.

Schneier on Security: The Security Mindset

This machine is a party in a box has everything you need to have a great party with out all the wiring and work.

The machine comes as a large, non-suspicious looking flightcase. Internally, it is equipped with cutting edge radar sensing technology, an ear blasting state of the art 600W sound system, tons of psychedelic light and laser effects, and even a professional grade fog machine.

Wonderful storytelling.

I am done with NBK. They may have been the best bank in Kuwait when it comes to online banking, but those days are long gone. I made the switch to CBK a couple months ago after my last issues with NBK. Yet still been keeping NBK as my primary bank, well no more. They can go screw themselves.

So far it has taken me 20 minutes to login to my NBK due to them disabling my password, and now that I am in I can’t do any transfers or anything unless I request and e-pin and that will take another couple days. So they have just wasted my time.

I should have switched back in 2006 when they told all Mac users to simply go buy a PC since Internet Explorer is more secure than Firefox.

Well I am sick of it and finally doing something about it and so should you.

Here is a site that has a bunch of the world’s bank logos. They got a very nice collection sadly all are in black and white.

Kuwait is duly repesented with the classic logos of Burgan Bank, Ahli Bank and Commerical Bank.

I traveled to Netherlands and Belgium over the National day break and took my Nokia N82 as my only camera. I took a bunch of pictures but made sure that all of them were geotagged with the phone’s GPS.

The cool part of this is that I dont have to guess where I took the pictures anymore or try to remember where I ate or shopped. I simply just take a picture and all that information is saved. Overall I am really impressed with the N82 the phone works great, camera quality is fantastic. There are times where I am pining for my old SE P990i, yet I dont see myself running back to it for those reasons.

I might write a full review of my N82 since I’ve gotten it in Dec. sometime soon.
