RSA: Chaos In the Security World, And the Situation Is Perfect
Right on queue this week, the anarchic hacking collective Anonymous stepped up and grabbed the story line away from the lions of the IT security industry.
With the Conference set to begin, the whistle blowing site Wikileaks released the first of some five million e-mail messages stolen from the security intelligence firm Stratfor. Ever sensitive to the fickle attention of the media, Anonymous inserted itself into the story, claiming responsibility for leaking the data and pointing a finger of blame at Stratfor and its media, private and public sector customers, which Anonymous accuses of spying and other dark offenses.
Coming just a year after a similar hack at HBGary Federal, the leak of the Stratfor e-mails was an unwelcome reminder for the folks here at RSA that, despite some high profile arrests, little real progress has been made in fighting back against Anonymous and other hacktivists groups, or stemming their activities.

Legbombing: Angelina Jolie Oscars Right Leg Pose Inspires Hilarious Meme
Angelina Jolie's eagerness to show off her toned leg at the 2012 Oscars on Sunday resulted in almost instantaneous ridicule, and now it has its own meme. "Legbombing" is a Jolie-specific version of photobombing with Angelina's bare and high-heeled leg peeking into iconic photos, apropros of nothing.

Judge Dismisses Organic Farmers' Case Against Monsanto
A New York federal court today dismissed a lawsuit against agribusiness giant Monsanto brought by thousands of certified organic farmers. The farmers hoped the suit would protect them against infringing on the company's crop patents in the future.
The Organic Seed Growers and Trade Association and several other growers and organizations do not use Monsanto seeds. But they were betting that the judge would agree that Monsanto should not be allowed to sue them if pollen from the company's patented crops happened to drift into their fields.
Instead, the judge found that plaintiffs' allegations were "unsubstantiated ... given that not one single plaintiff claims to have been so threatened." The ruling also found that the plaintiffs had "overstate[d] the magnitude of [Monsanto's] patent enforcement." Monsanto brings an average of 13 patent-enforcement lawsuits per year, which, the judge said, "is hardly significant when compared to the number of farms in the United States, approximately two million."

Martin Scorsese’s Film School: The 85 Films You Need To See To Know Anything About Film
Interviewing Martin Scorsese is like taking a master class in film. Fast Company’s four-hour interview with the director for the December-January cover story was ostensibly about his career, and how he had been able to stay so creative through years of battling studios. But the Hugo director punctuated everything he said with references to movies: 85 of them, in fact, all listed below.
Some of the movies he discussed (note: the descriptions for these are below in quotes, denoting his own words). Others he just mentioned (noted below with short plot descriptions and no quotes.) But the cumulative total reflects a life lived entirely within the confines of movie making, from his days as a young asthmatic child watching a tiny screen in Queens, New York to today, when Scorsese is as productive as he’s ever been in his career--and more revered than ever by the industry that once regarded him as a troublesome outsider. Hugo leads the Academy Award nominations with 11 nods, including Best Picture and Best Director. Several Oscar pundits believe he’ll nab his second Directing win. If so, he owes a lot to movies like the ones below.
