What Star Wars Teaches Us About BYOD and IT Security
The clip of the intro was good, too. (It is at the end of the
article.)

These aren't the droids you could have stopped a princess who shall
remain nameless from shipping off-site at the start of the movie, and
avoided all of that trouble...

A point made there and also when the British TV situation comedy
_Spaced_ reviewed the films (one of the times). I suppose it's
a commonplace, although I don't remember whether the comics series
"Star Wars Infinities", which portrayed alternate outcomes to
events in the Star Wars story, covered that one.

Generally, Device; specifically, Droid. Though IIRC Leia got the
data onto a handheld device first and fed that into R2-D2,
thereby making it mobile.

And apparently only had the time to make one copy, making the Empire's
problem considerably easier to solve. Most of the time when you're
chasing data that's gone walkabout, you have NO way of knowing if you've
gotten all the copies, or even if it's going to pop up on the net...

I was kind of disappointed by the video. The rewritten scroll was
amusing (especially the tag-line), but I wanted to hear the talk.

Apparently he's touring it. That was Toronto, this is San Francisco:
<http://kill-hup.blogspot.co.uk/> (UK? That's probably at my end.)

<http://ca.linkedin.com/in/kellman> has some of the previous dates.
Maybe he'll be in a town near you soon!
