"The Kerberos authentication protocol relies heavily on all participants agreeing on what time it is (with some slop tolerance). If somebody manages to fool the client into synchronizing its time against a rogue server (for example, by using a DNS poisoning attack), the attacker can use that invalid date (typically a backdate) as a foothold for the next level of attacks."

Nice photo. Some days I wish I lived in a place with mountains.

"Dear Sir: your work is sh**. Nobody is going to 'steal' it from you." I love reading jwz's blog.

"The MedDrop box is aimed at reducing public safety and public health problems presented by keeping unwanted drugs in family medicine boxes. Environmental problems, particularly lake pollution, caused by flushing drugs down toilets should also be alleviated." This is pretty cool. Flushing your drugs is an increasingly bad idea.

Brian's summary of "I'm not going to hold my breath on this, but it would be cool" is pretty much right. I'd bet money that Apple isn't going to do virtualization of any sort, ever. None of this makes enough money for them, and they couldn't care less about the enterprise, enterprise desktops, etc.

Seriously, if you are an Apple customer running something enterprise-like of theirs, I'd be looking to be off of it soon. They don't sell enough of any of it to make it a focus for them, and they're going to kill those product lines (no matter what they say right now).

Stephen's stance on & opinion about embargoes is about the same as mine. I'm the kind of guy that doesn't want to re-publish a press release or slides, I want to ask questions and get a good understanding of what I'm being told. Then I'll publish it after the embargo is lifted, or when the vendor breaks their own embargo. VMware is a good example of a company that knows how to do embargoes, and I've been really happy with the respect and trust they show to bloggers when new products are coming out.
