Excerpt: "Zero-day exploits are valuable because they can be used to sneak software onto a computer system without detection by conventional computer security measures, such as antivirus packages or firewalls. Criminals might do that to intercept credit card numbers. An intelligence agency or military force might steal diplomatic communications or even shut down a power plant."

Interesting Technology: First there was the Flexible Display. Now Comes the Flexible Speaker

Fujifilm Corp developed a film that can be used as the diaphragm (vibrating plate) of a speaker. By using the diaphragm, which Fujifilm calls "Beat," it becomes possible to realize a speaker that can be bent and folded. The new flexible speaker was unveiled at a tradeshow in Tokyo held earlier this month.

 It's been noted that Apple has an interest in flexible displays to a certain degree, but this type of flexible speaker could be more attractive to companies like Samsung and Microsoft who have more specific patent pending flexible display designs on tap for future mobile devices. But it's earlier in this future category and you never know which company will be first to launch a true roll-out style mobie device. Time will tell. For now, Fujifilm has demonstrated the world's first roll-out flexible speaker.
