Avi Rubin: All Your Devices Can Be Hacked

My techno-thriller INTERFACED will be out in a few days, so I figured this was an appropriate TED TALK to post.




Paranoid much?


Will KNOCKDOWN become a household name?

RNA interference stock buzzes.

FROM ALNYLAM'S WEBSITE...ANLY released positive clinical trial results. Alnylam Reports Positive Clinical Results – with up to 94% Knockdown of Serum Transthyretin (TTR) – for ALN-TTRsc, a Subcutaneously Delivered RNAi Therapeutic for the Treatment of TTR-Mediated Amyloidosis

What does 94% knockdown mean?

It means the stock is up. And RNA interference seems to have a future.

And yes, I own the stock. Not much--I am of modest means--but it's still fun to pretend I'm clairvoyant.
