Starbucks caught storing mobile passwords in clear text
2014-01-15 17:52:09| InfoWorld: Top News
The Starbucks mobile app, the most used mobile-payment app in the U.S., has been storing usernames, email addresses and passwords in clear text, Starbucks executives confirmed late on Tuesday (Jan. 14). The credentials were stored in such a way that anyone with access to the phone can see the passwords and usernames by connecting the phone to a PC. No jailbreaking of the phone is necessary. And that clear text also displays an extensive list of geolocation tracking points (latitude, longitude), a treasure trove of security and privacy gems for anyone who steals the phone.

In 1999, Chris Baty was looking for inspiration to write a novel. He got together with some friends in coffee shops and started writing, with rewards of coffee for those who reached their word counts. It was the birth of National Novel Writing Month, which the following year would become NaNoWriMo, a Web-based community of writers who commit to writing a 50,000-word novel in 30 days.
Worlds first wireless molecular network uses rubbing alcohol to send text messages

Researchers in the UK and Canada have succeeded in creating the world's first text message via a molecular communication. The messages are encoded in molecules of alcohol, which are then wafted across the room to a receiver, which sniffs the molecules out of the air and decodes the message. Molecular networks are an area of interest for applications and environments where the usual method of wireless communication -- electromagnetic radiation -- can't be used, such as underwater, underground, in oil pipelines, or inside your body.
