Jiya Re – Jab Tak Hai Jaan (Cover by Alaa Wardi)
An A.R.Rahman cover made by voice, mouth and body only, from Yash Chopra’s last film “Jab Tak Hai Jaan”, lyrics by Gulzar and sung by Neeti Mohan.. This song is also my best part of the movie, starring Shahrukh Khan and Anushka Sharma.. Would like to think of it as Yash Chopra’s last message to earth: Jiya Re :)

Paul Erdős – N is a number – The man made of maths
This guy was deeply plugged into the machinery of the universe. Long documentary, but worth it.
Paul Erdős (Hungarian: Erdős Pál, pronounced [ˈɛrdøːʃ ˈpaːl]; 26 March 1913 — 20 September 1996) was a Hungarian mathematician. Erdős published more papers than any other mathematician in history, working with hundreds of collaborators. He worked on problems in combinatorics, graph theory, number theory, classical analysis, approximation theory, set theory, and probability theory.
He is also known for his “legendarily eccentric” personality.
“When asked what the really important things he wants to do with his life, he often says to him it is to find new results and try to prove them. Of course he has a side comment here, which is a running joke, which he calls the SF, by that he means ‘god’ or whoever is watching down, and he has a perverse view of the almighty, feeling that its gods job to try to make people unhappy. So, to get even, it’s part of his mission is to try and annoy what he calls the SF, the supreme fascists. The Significant Few.”
Erdos was without a doubt one of the most prolific mathemeticians of the 20th century, and curiously a nearly daily user of methamphetamine, which he rarely publicly admitted for fear of proliferating the idea that drug use is acceptable. He was still going strong well into his later years, even though most great mathematicians loose their abilities around the age of 40 or so. His friends made a bet with him for $500 that he couldn’t quit meth for 30 days, he won the bet, but later remarked that they had set the progress of mathematics back a month.
BlackHat USA 2011: SSL And The Future Of Authenticity
Speaker: MOXIE MARLINSPIKE
In the early 90’s, at the dawn of the World Wide Web, some engineers at Netscape developed a protocol for making secure HTTP requests, and what they came up with was called SSL. Given the relatively scarce body of knowledge concerning secure protocols at the time, as well the intense pressure that everyone at Netscape was working under, their efforts can only be seen as incredibly heroic. But while it’s amazing that SSL has endured for as long as it has, some parts of it — particularly those concerning Certificate Authorities — have always caused some friction, and have more recently started to cause real problems.
This talk will provide an in-depth examination of the current problems with authenticity in SSL, discuss some of the recent high-profile SSL infrastructure attacks in detail, and cover some potential strategies for the future. It will conclude with a software release that aims to definitively fix the disintegrating trust relationships at the core of this fundamental protocol.

“BOTANICUS INTERACTICUS”: Interactive Plant Technology
Botanicus Interacticus is a technology for designing highly expressive interactive plants, both living and artificial. The technology is driven by the rapid fusion of our computing and living spaces. Botanicus Interacticus an interaction platform that takes interaction from computing devices and places it anywhere in the physical environment. In particular we are targeting living plants.
Botanicus Interacticus has a number of unique properties. This instrumentation of plants is simple, non-invasive, and does not damage the plants. It requires only a single wire placed anywhere in the soil. The interaction with plants goes beyond simple touch and allows rich gestural interaction. Examples include: sliding fingers on the stem of the orchid, detecting touch and grasp location, tracking proximity, and estimating the amount of touch contact between user and a plant.
Botanicus Interacticus also deconstructs the electrical properties of plants and replicates them using electrical components. This allows the design of a broad variety of biologically inspired artificial plants that behave nearly the same as their biological counterparts. The same sensing technology is used with both living and artificial plants.
A broad range of applications are possible with Botanicus Interacticus technology: designing interactive responsive environments and new forms of living interaction devices as well as developing organic ambient and pervasive interfaces.
