„Just a month ago, I bought a 256mb Secure Digital memory card. After all, I'd just bought a new Pocket PC and they take SD cards. Prior to that I'd picked up a couple of extra sets of NiMH AA batteries. They were a good deal and we always need AAs, right?“

„Why Digital Signatures Are Not Signatures When first invented in the 1970s, digital signatures made an amazing promise: better than a handwritten signature -- unforgeable and uncopyable -- on a document. Today, they are a fundamental component of business in cyberspace.
