• Just How Vulnerable To Attack Are U.S. Drone Operations? | Digital Dao – The most important outcome from Iran’s capture of the RQ-170 should be an indepth vulnerability assessment of both U.S. intellectual property and operational vulnerabilities of our Unmanned Aerial System aircraft. This must include an international analysis of partnering companies like Boeing – Mitsubishi, Lockheed Martin-BAE, Insitu-ADASI, and many others. The worst outcome is blind denial that Iran or other U.S. adversaries is capable of compromising U.S. drone operations

• slight paranoia: Commerce Dept: export licenses for intercept tech have “exploded” over last 2,3 years– Earlier this year, the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security held a two-day Conference on Export Controls and Policy. It included a workshop specifically focused on the rules governing the export of encryption technologies (which include intercept equipment). The full transcript can be found here: part 1 (pdf), part 2 (pdf).As a non-lawyer, and non-expert in export control regulations, I was pretty surprised to learn that the government already strictly regulates the export of covert communications surveillance technology. What this means, of course, is that the Commerce Department already has a list of every foreign buyer of US made covert surveillance technology. Unfortunately, they won’t provide this information to the public, and as far as I know, they won’t provide it in response to FOIA requests.

• Luxury Real Estate: Embracing Old Shanghai in a French Concession Lilong – WSJ.com– At work,Melissa Lam, general manager and chief financial officer of language-training company English First, has been busy coordinating the firm’s move to its quirky, Western-style China headquarters. The offices have meeting rooms shaped like birdcages and a beanstalk-like pole that punches through leaf-shaped holes to connect three floors.At home, Ms. Lam and her husband, Steven Bourne, tried to do the opposite, buying and renovating a traditional “lilong” house that was built in 1936, when Shanghai’s financial and artistic influence was at its peak.
  The couple paid $875,000 in 2006 and spent a further $170,000 on the renovation. Real-estate agents say smaller versions of the couple’s home, at around 1,600 square feet, might go for $1.5 million, while larger ones fetch more. A renovated, 3,455-square-foot house in this row is currently listed at $3.9 million, according to Oliver Holl Sun at SHPlace, a Shanghai-based real estate agency.

Although I have personally not had a chance to post as many updates, this years has seen non stop activities around different shipyards.
