NSA Whistleblower: The Ultimate Insider Attack


When computer security companies release their annual reports about hacking and breaches, they take pains to point out that the insider threat from someone with internal access to data is a far greater risk to a company than an outside hacker.

The more than a million government documents leaked by former Army intelligence analyst Bradley Manning showed this to be true.

Natural Lighting: Grow Your Own Glow-in-the-Dark Plants


What started as a Glowing Plant campaign to raise just sixty-five thousand dollars has now ended with ten times that much in funding, all toward one purpose: naturally-glowing, biologically engineered plant life. The seed funding, in both senses, has been secured.

Glowing plants are not new, but crowd-funding the research and gene splicing, aiming for sustained bioluminescence, and distributing the resulting plants all push into new (and apparently fertile) territories. The project team will start small, with household plants including glowing roses, and work up from there.
