Friday, TGI Well, things are pretty calm today, although a just-published BuzzCut by Jeff Forristal warrants some attention. It's an expansion upon an idea he started in last week's security newsletter, regarding a research paper on "crackability" of 1024-bit keys.

Hot dog, it's Amiga time! -- Yes, it appears that Microsoft has ceased forward motion and is now focusing on retro-ware. Much to the delight of millions of thirtysomethings, Amiga Inc.
