POLL: US Presidential Candidates + Advance of Technology

By theReformed 1 Comment
Categories: government, politics, poll, technology and thereformed

What do you think? Which candidate do you believe, if they gain office, based on their record, council and understanding of the “cyber-threats” facing our aging infrastructure, invasive privacy practices and stagnant electronic security evolution will have the most profound effect on the development of technology in both the United States and the global industry as a whole during their term in office. We ask that you look at this in a non-partisan, objective light. A by-the-issues, unbiased review of each candidate can be found at Vote Smart .

Of US Presidential candidates, who will advance more the development of technology during term?

  • Barack H. Obama, Jr. (43%, 3 Votes)
  • John S. McCain, III (29%, 2 Votes)
  • Ralph Nader (14%, 1 Votes)
  • Charles O. Baldwin (14%, 1 Votes)

POLL: 2008’s Largest Security Upset, So Far

By theReformed 1 Comment
Categories: poll, security and thereformed

We wanted to get a quick gauge of what our readers feel the most significant threat to the security model of our Internet community has been so far this year. Although we don’t support the idea necessarily of one-upping between researchers, realizing that this shouldn’t be a race/competition, but we do realize that there is an end result in impact across the industry and that momentum abroad can be measured.

Security flaw with greatest impact so far this year?

POLL: Dan Kaminsky’s DNS Poisoning Bug

By theReformed 1 Comment
Categories: briefs, internet, opinion, poll, thereformed and vulnerability

More than a week later, we mull over Dan Kaminsky’s recent finding that has directly impacted the Internet and it’s support industry, vendors and consumer and stirred controversy that has led some to speculate whether he is only looking for exposure before his talk at the BlackHat briefings this year - we’re posting this poll, referencing his article to see what you think of his disclosure motives or the lack thereof.

You might say, “Why haven’t you written an article on it?” - To be clear, we haven’t blogged about it simply because everyone and their mom has already and we think some of the more provocative ones get to the point here and here.

Dan Kaminsky's DNS bug is...

  • Very Important! (73%, 33 Votes)
  • Moderately Important! (16%, 7 Votes)
  • Searching for 15 Seconds of Fame! (11%, 5 Votes)
  • Not Important! (0%, 0 Votes)

Total Voters: 45
