TechAndComputer (Sep. 10, 2010) Behind every coincidence lies a plan -- in the world of classical physics, at least. In principle, every event, including the fall of dice or the outcome of a game of roulette, can be explained in mathematical terms.
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Light in Erlangen have constructed a device that works on the principle of true randomness. With the help of quantum physics, their machine...

TechAndComputer (Aug. 26, 2010) Many consumers need help recognizing when their privacy is compromised, according to a new study in the Journal of Consumer Research.
"How can we make sense of the contradictory attitudes that individuals display toward privacy -- from the seemingly reckless willingness of some to post personal and even incriminating information on social network sites, to the concern people express over the range of information...

TechAndComputer (Aug. 4, 2010) Nothing beats the feeling of starting up a new computer -- be it a laptop, desktop or a major, custom-designed computing system. A new system is a blank slate with no worry of botnets, viruses or any other cybersecurity hazards.

TechAndComputer (July 7, 2010) Every picture tells a story, but how do you know that a digital photo has not been manipulated to change the tale being told? A new approach to adding an encrypted watermark to digital images allows the an image to be validated against a pass key, according to research published in the International Journal of Signal and Imaging Systems Engineering.
