Politics is by no means our idea of entertainment when it comes to our blogs, however to see such a strong candidate pick a “technological bi-polar” candidate as the potential VP, it makes you wonder if McCain is already a winner.
Joe Biden was picked as Obama’s VP candidate if they are to take the White House this upcoming election. Apparently his views towards net neutrality, the RIAA, and anti-encryption are a little skewed over the past few years. I’m sure the EFF doesn’t think too highly of him either. Although he may have experience in foreign policy, how does that protect our rights here in the U.S. as he was a key player when it came to the Patriot Act amongst many other laws that passed through the Senate.

So the Air Force, which prides themselves for being the most technical branch of all the armed forces, has decided to suspend its efforts on building their latest Cyber Command. Not sure if any of you recall the latest AF recruitment commercials geared around cyber security, but it would be safe to say that those will not be airing until the Air Force works out some kinks.
“The Secretary and Chief of Staff of the Air Force have considered delaying currently planned actions on Air Force Cyber Command to allow ample time for a comprehensive assessment of all AFCYBER requirements and to synchronize the AFCYBER mission with other key Air Force initiatives,” the service said in a statement released Thursday.
Makes you wonder why ample time wasn’t dedicated in the first place for a “comprehensive assessment.”
I could spend hours talking about how much of a good time Chris Mills and I had at DC16 or I figured you all could just tune in for EP8 which we’ll be recording tonight. There are a lot of people we need to thank for their hospitality as well as the free beer! We made all kinds of new friends and it was great finally being able to put names to faces. While you’re waiting for the live show tonight, follow the links below for some pics of the Podcasters Meetup as well as the live show recorded live from DC16!
I’m going to be installing wiki software and recruiting some folks to help us do proper full show notes for each episode. We’re also looking for people to help out with the forums, IRC, and research for technical segments. If you can contribute in any way we’ll make sure you get recognized.
Remember to hit up the T-Shirt and Sticker page. Soon I will remove the T-Shirt donate link as I will be shipping the box of T-Shirts to Jay to take with him to Defcon. Hit us up on the forums, or at irc.freenode.net #securabit. Thanks for listening!
