I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sweet! I fly on Delta next week.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

New and scary malware:

badBIOS: airgap-jumping malware that may use ultrasonic networking to communicate - Boing Boing

It appears that its initial vector may be a USB exploit, spreading by memory stick, but after that, it appears that it continues to communicate with other infected machines by ultrasonic networking through its hosts' mics and speakers (!).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Okay, I'm as anti-virus as the next person, but I bet whoever worked that shit out is pleased as all hell with themselves. Because I can't believe it, but it's not April 1st.

What do people here use for wireframe tools? It's another gap in Visio-provided stencils, IMO, but I grabbed some free ones randomly to give a shot. I have used Pencil in the past, and will be re-evaluating them shortly, and I noticed DENIM and Simple Diagrams.

How the heck would the badbios use the microphones and speakers when power was disconnected?

I just watched a review of the iPad Air on WSJ. He said, depending on bells and whistles, the total price for one of these impressive pieces of technology is $900. Uh, what whistles are those? And how many people end up almost doubling the main price? I mean, I want a thinner faster tablet with better battery life, but I can't think of anything that would value it at near a grand.

Our wings are not tired

The top end model with 128 GB of storage with the Cellular connection.

It's an additional $100 for each storage level (16, 32, 64, 128) and then and additional $139 for the model that includes cellular.

That's some tablet. You can buy a first gen Surface with 64GB for $450, including cover. THEN AGAIN, you can pay $1799 for 512MB, at which point...Mac Air is so pretty...

I've seen one Surface around the office, with a pleased as punch user (he likes his Android phone just fine, but he basically wants a small laptop out of his tablet). I should find out which model he's using.

I do wish my tablet had a kick stand...

Now I need to research the top end Android tablet.
