Instruments in smart phones such as the accelerometer, gyroscope and proximity sensors represent a potential security vulnerability, according to researchers. Sounds like they just pressed '3', now feels like a '9', now they've dropped it

MyLiFi is a lamp that provides a secure, wireless, radiowave-free internet connection to nearby devices, all through the data-transferring power of LEDs. Whoa, man. Look at the strobes!
Yeah, "invisible LEDs". I'm betting on headache-inducing flickers.

Morse Code or Semaphore anybody?
And I'm sure that some enterprising AD Service will figure out a way to subliminally advertise by finding some weakness in this.

As if the Meltdown and Spectre bug affecting millions of processors was not bad enough, the patches designed to mitigate the problems are introducing issues of their own. I guess this might be late news for some of you (sorry), but maybe it will save some

It’s been just two days since The Register first reported that all Intel x86-64x processors were subject to a severe security vulnerability, and already Intel has been hit with at least three separate class action lawsuits related to the vulnerability. Only three?

You'd think there would be at least 86.
