The migration is complete. The Hanselman Family has moved to Google Apps. Why? Here’s why:
- I trust them (more or less)
- I’m smart (I think), but I’ve recently lost 3 years of a family member’s email. Backups are hard
- It’s clean and easy
- Family members now have 10 gigs of space vs their previous 50 megs
However, we had a complex setup, as I assume most families do. Or at least, most Geek Families. This includes not just my wife, but also parents, brothers, cousins, in-laws, etc. Being IT for the family is hard. I’ve changed the names to protect the innocent, but all the tech is real — via Scott Hanselman

Botnets, networks of thousands of computers working in tandem, have become one of the most pervasive threats on the Internet – a tool used by criminals for extortion, spamming and identity theft – but also by hacktivist groups that want attention.
Anonymous has taken a different approach with Operation Payback, the name it has given its bid to avenge efforts to shut down WikiLeaks. It is building its own home-grown voluntary
botnet, attracting people to put the botnet software on their own computers. About 2,200 or more people have done so by one count — via redwolf.newsvine.com

As a part of a student project, Kau was asked to push the boundaries of current upper-limb prosthetic design
. Powered by a small motor and a set of cables, the tentacle shaped prosthetic arm curls its claw to grip objects — via DVICE
The Smooth Building is located in a residential area called San Pedro Garza Garcia in Nuevo Leon, Mexico, a place of beauty with an excellent location that gives a gorgeous sight of the Sierra Madre Oriental at its South facade. The challenge of this project was to design an office and a house in the same lot taking advantage of the maximum space of every single area. For this reason it was necessary to mix the uses of house and office between the four levels, obtaining the best location for each space inside of the building — via ArchDaily
Like the face of the watch (will come to it in no time,) the DW 8014 movement features beautiful art-deco-style decoration with Cotes de Geneve motif. Its surfaces are satin-brushed, circular grained, polished and beveled.
