The solution is for white hat hackers to hack these cameras for the sole purpose of disabling them. People keep saying the cameras can't be updated or patched to fix the DDoS vulnerability, so they should be hacked to simply make them inoperable. If a device is insecure, it doesn't deserve to be allowed on the public network.
It's actually a pretty interesting idea but I think without government legislation on the matter a lot of white hats will run afoul of existing laws and end up serving very long sentences.
Holy cow, that looks like cut out of some alien abduction film..creepy shit..
Not it's not related to that. From what I understand, it transmits the force directly, not using a physical "robot-hand", but pressure I think. Maybe I was fooled, because as miahi said, it's not really clear from the article.. Nonetheless if it's what I think, then it's a worthy news. Funny I didn't think of Star Wars, but that's as close as it gets I think
An interesting confirmation of this theory is explained in the recent Washington Post article entitled, "What killed BlackBerry? Employees started buying their own devices." That article basically explains how the smartphone market shifted from a business market to a consumer market, where consumers wanted the superiority of non-blackberry devices. While not dealing with the modularity issue, the article supports the different values in those two market perspectives (they're really not segments). http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2013/09/20...
This might be the most illogical and unsupported assertion, ever: "Given that the human face recognition performed by the check-in agents did not keep the hijackers out, there is no reason to think that computer face recognition would help."
