IoT: Why Security Pros Need to Prepare Now
Have you ever heard of the Cullinan diamond? If you haven't, it was the
largest diamond ever discovered: a 3106 carat diamond found in 1905 in
South Africa. What's interesting about the Cullinan diamond isn't so
much the discovery of the stone itself but what happened afterward:
specifically, the cutting of the diamond. The Cullinan diamond was split
into a number of smaller pieces.

Other Shoe Drops in White House Security Breach
Last year's breach of unclassified White House computer systems
reportedly was far more intrusive than initially thought and included
the theft of some presidential correspondence. No classified systems
were compromised, including the servers that control message traffic
from the president's BlackBerry. However, much of the information the
unclassified servers handle is considered sensitive.

Pretty 3D Printing, Eye-Catching Engagement Ring Box, Sturdy Smartphone
3D printing is fascinating. It still seems wild to me that you can
download schematics for anything and have a plastic version of a
physical object in your home a short while later. However, not many
printers can switch up the color or the types of filaments you use in
your creation. The Pallette could change that, with a peripheral to
brighten up that mono-colored trinket you're ready to print.

Treyarch: Black Ops III More Ambitious Than World at War
Activision on Monday announced the launch date for Call of Duty: Black
Ops III -- Friday, Nov. 6. The company is departing from its tradition
of Tuesday releases. Instead of conflicting with school and work
schedules, the Friday release will give players the weekend to dive into
the sci-fi shooter and get a feel for the new gameplay mechanics.

Can Microsoft Take Back Momentum From Google and Apple?
Microsoft is holding its Build event this week, marking the beginning of
its major push to launch Windows 10. Build is in San Francisco this
year, which effectively puts it right in the back yard of both Apple and
Google -- a nice "in your face" move. I was the featured launch analyst
for Windows 95 two decades ago and there, Microsoft ripped Apple a new
rear orifice.
