This vulnerability is a result of an interaction between two different ways of handling e-mail addresses. Gmail ignores dots in addresses, so bruce.schneier@gmail.com is the same as bruceschneier@gmail.com is the same as b.r.u.c.e.schneier@gmail.com. (Note: I do not own any of those email addresses -- if they're even valid.) Netflix doesn't ignore dots, so those are all unique e-mail addresses and can each be used to register an account.
I received a very nice email this week: Congratulations, your nomination has been accepted to the Microsoft Regional Director program! I am pleased to welcome you back to this worldwide community of technology thought leaders and thank you for being a part of this community. Just over 2 years ago, I first became a Microsoft Regional Director. This is a role that has meant a great deal to me over that time; it's not one you can sit an exam for and no amount of money will buy you one either.

It is strange to think that Google Glass – once the very definition of innovation – is already starting to fade into the collective tech memory. Now off the shelves and overtaken by increasingly advanced AR/VR offerings, it would be forgivable to consider Glass just a short blip in the history of our connected world, but in fact, its history, and its legacy, extend far further than that.
How many people would you trust with your house keys? Chances are, you have a handful of trusted friends and family members who have an emergency copy, but you definitely wouldn’t hand those out too freely.

“Trust but verify” is a Russian proverb President Reagan used as doctrine for nuclear disarmament between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. in the mid-1980s. Its application was instrumental in ending the nuclear arms race and the threat of war. Today, the same doctrine can be applied to enterprise applications and data that is being threatened by a complex dynamic of attack vectors.
In a recent study, IDC found that 64% of organizations said they were already using open source in software development with a further 25% planning to in the next year.
