CCC | Chaos Computer Club breaks Apple TouchID

“We hope that this finally puts to rest the illusions people have about fingerprint biometrics. It is plain stupid to use something that you can´t change and that you leave everywhere every day as a security token”, said Frank Rieger, spokesperson of the CCC. “The public should no longer be fooled by the biometrics industry with false security claims. Biometrics is fundamentally a technology designed for oppression and control, not for securing everyday device access.”

women of mythology – brigid

she is the celtic three-fold goddess, mother of ireland, divine and exulted, worshiped by many names in many forms, myths and legends surround her. mother of warriors, wife of a king from a warring tribe she sought to bring peace and unity to her lands with her compassion and goodness. brigid.

she is fire and flame. inspiration to poets and scribes, to those that pen the written word to paper and parchment. she is the hearth, patroness of healing and fertility, giving protection to mothers during pregnancy and child birth, caring for the little ones. she is the forge, skilled with weapons and how to make them, teacher of the martial arts, a warrior with hair the same colour as the fire that she symbolizes.

but with that knowledge of weaponry and battle, comes a desire to bind those that she loves together, to protect them and ensure their happiness. for war is not to be taken lightly, and the deaths that are the result steal the very things she sworn to care for away.

THANK YOU!

A huge thanks everyone who helped me out and told Amazon to make my book free. Special thanks to theharlequinfromutopia, the winner of a print copy of My Babylon Compete. Your book is on the way.

As of today My Babylon – Book One: Body is FREE on Amazon!

Can you do me one more favor? Go and download it from Amazon. Download it as many times as you want. Every download moves me up the charts and makes my book more visible.

As an indie author, I totally depend on people like you to get the word out. Once again, in appreciation, I will send an electronic copy of My Babylon – Book Two: Rose (or any other volume in the series) to anyone who downloads Book One from Amazon, reblogs this post, and sends me their email via ask. Please include your preferred format (mobi, epub, pdf, doc).

On October 13th, I’ll pick one person at random to mail a print copy of My Babylon Complete.

Thanks again for helping my dreams of being a successful writer come true.

Part three, however more of a table than anything else. Surprisingly not taking from a thelemic based source, fairly sure these came from some icelandic mob.

Also has more on ‘runes’, and reminds me that I need to stop labeling things as “asdsadsafasdsa1.jpg”
