Hi all,

Bruce Schneier, the security god,  writes on his blog
(www.schneier.com/blog/) in an article on software problems
with a breath-alcohol detector

"This is an excellent lesson in the security problems inherent in
trusting proprietary software"

I am really interested at the moment in these issues, I know it isn't as
much fun as bashing out code, but I was thinking about these 'cloud'
computing offerings (from amazon and google et al) and the
security/privacy issues they bring up....
