When Hollywood Hack-tually Comes True





Without hardware-based security, the rise of connected devices can make big screen breaches a reality. From traffic lights to ATMs to toys, it is becoming increasingly clear that embedded system insecurity affects everyone and every company. The impact of this insecurity can be very personal like theft of sensitive financial and medical data. For a company, the effect can be quite profound. Products can be cloned, software copied, systems tampered with and spied on, and many other things that can lead to revenue loss, increased liability, and diminished brand equity.

Massimo Banzi: How Arduino is open-sourcing imagination



http://www.ted.com Massimo Banzi helped invent the Arduino, a tiny, easy-to-use open-source microcontroller that's inspired thousands of people around the world to make the coolest things they can imagine -- from toys to satellite gear. Because, as he says, "You don't need anyone's permission to make something great."

Intentionally Shattering Wafers | Inside the Fab | Intel





Meet Ryan Parrott, Packaging Engineer at Intel. His job is to design and test the custom packaging solutions used to ship silicon wafers all over the world. In order to learn which solutions work, Ryan has got to push expensive wafers potentially containing thousands of processors to their breaking points. 

The packaging used to ship wafers is called a Front-Opening Shipping Box, or “FOSB”. Each of these specially-designed boxes contain 25 glass-like, silicon wafers totaling $250,000 to multi-million US dollars per box depending on product. Each wafer is incredibly fragile, and it’s Ryan’s job to insure that each FOSB makes it to its destination with all wafers intact. 

Check out Ryan's story, and stay tuned for more stories "Inside the Fab" at Intel.
