Deconstructing The Xbox Security System

Google Tech Talks December 1, 2006 ABSTRACT In late 2001, Microsoft released the Xbox, their first gaming console, to compete against Sony and Nintendo in the living room. As the real money is made with the games and not the consoles, Microsoft had to make sure (as much as they could) that nobody could play pirated games or use the machine for anything other than games. Although the original security design idea was a good one and has been copied a lot since then, Microsoft's inexperienced team made a variety of design, implementation, and policy mistakes. This talk first (re)constructs the design of the Xbox security system from Microsoft's point of view, and then deconstructs it from the hacker's point of view. As a bonus, the talk will feature some insights in the security system of the Xbox successor, the Xbox 360. Michael Steil is the founder and maintainer of the Xbox-Linux Project. He oversaw most of the Xbox hacks and also contributed to hacking, reverse engineering and porting Linux on the Xbox. Enjoy

Tim Berners-Lee father of Internet

Article in wikipedia about "TBL", the man who "propose" the beginning of our actual Internet. A trivial fact: the first web server was setup using Steve Job's NextSTEP machine.

Times - Best Photo of the year 2006

Una buena forma de ver que cosas hay sucedido a la largo del año es mediante las mejores fotos de los periodistas y esta selección del Times.

Claramente este año fue marcado por los combates pero recorriendo las versiones de los últmos años esto se esta haciendo costumbre y comenzamos a tomarlo con mucha naturalidad.

Disfruten de las fotos.... no de la realidad que nos muestra.
