The Danish Sugar Beet Auctions
http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/ST/PEC2011/presentations2011/toft.pdfFascinating: trading rights for Danish sugar beet production in a double auction, using encrypted bids which are never decrypted. The computation for the trading price is performed directly on the encrypted data using "secure multiparty computation", which sounds similar to, but isn't, homomorphic encryption.

Wireless Power Charger!
http://www.instructables.com/id/Wireless-Ipod-Charger/?ALLSTEPSwireless charging is pretty simple: basically a long-distance transformer. On the receiving end you need a rectifier (ac->dc), regulator (->5v), and a capacitor to even out the charge. That's basically it.
The Man Who Loved Only Numbers
http://www.nytimes.com/books/first/h/hoffman-man.htmlErdös. He was twenty-one when he buttered his first piece of bread, his mother or a domestic servant having always done it for him. "I remember clearly," he said. "I had just gone to England to study. It was teatime, and bread was served. I was too embarrassed to admit that I had never buttered it. I tried. It wasn't so hard."

images - Alternative for Graphviz with better automatic node placement for large graphs? - Software Recommendations Stack Exchange
http://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/questions/40/alternative-for-graphviz-with-better-automatic-node-placement-for-large-graphsIt's pretty hard and there are no good alternatives. But suggestions from a GraphViz dev: "If "large" means maybe hundreds of nodes, try neato -Goverlap=false (to avoid node text label overlap) and possibly -Gmodel=subset to try for better clustering."

Bypass Antivirus Dynamic Analysis
http://packetstorm.foofus.com/papers/virus/BypassAVDynamics.pdfAll pretty basic techniques. Interesting paper. My two favourites are: simply use a lot of resources, because AV dynamic analysis doesn't have much time to spare; and rely on an OS call failing (e.g. EEXIST for the mutex), because AV sandboxes are designed to emulate the system's "good case".
Vincit qui se vincit | Latin D
http://latindiscussion.com/forum/latin/vincit-qui-se-vincit.7061/Two interesting notes about my old high school's motto: 1) the full quote is "bis vincit qui se vincit in victoria", which completely changes the meaning ("He conquers twice, who conquers himself when he is victorious" -- i.e. first you conquer others, then you conquer yourself, rather than the reversed temporal ordering implied by the short form); 2) It could also mean "he who shackles himself wins".

Why Genius may struggle to annotate the world | MASSOLIT
http://themassolit.wordpress.com/2014/08/19/why-genius-may-struggle-to-annotate-the-world/"once you get to texts that don’t go out of their way to be clever and allusive – which is most of them, by the way – the appropriateness and usefulness of annotations declines rapidly." Basically, rap is highly intertextual, most other things are not; annotations therefore work for rap; annotations aren't so good for other genres. Also one of the co-founders is a dreadful person.
