Pre-Weekend Summary (2009-11-13)

Have a good weekend.

Summary
This week Schneier taught us that thieves prefer black luggage, that anti-virus is still a good idea (despite it's moderate effectiveness), and that there are new access control mechanisms as well as methods to mitigate rootkits.

Reddit was full of cappuccino drawings (e.g., Saturn, a dragon, and the Mona Lisa). Speaking of coffee, Matthew Inman taught us some interesting facts about its origins and how it works.

XKCD was sympathetic and political; Wondermark was apiarian; Abstruse Goose was psychological.

Lukas Mathis explained why people don't realize their camcorders have touch screens, and Techdirt exposed Murdoch's ridiculous, not-connected-to-reality thinking.
