(AP) -- Pablo Soto's story may be every computer whiz kid's dream - or nightmare. After leaving school at 16 to support his family, he managed to eke out a living doing what he loves most: designing computer programs. http://www.physorg.com/news163763858.html Technology Tue, 09 Jun 2009 10:59:21 EST news163763858 Researchers at the McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science at Northwestern University have identified a new "guilt-by-association" threat to privacy in peer-to-peer (P2P) systems that would enable an eavesdropper to accurately classify groups of users with similar download behavior. To thwart this threat, they have released publicly available, open source software that restores privacy by masking a user's real download activity in such a manner as to disrupt classification. http://www.physorg.com/news158419063.html Technology Wed, 08 Apr 2009 14:18:18 EST news158419063 The possibility of remote monitoring for chronically ill patients will soon become a reality. Now, researchers in South Africa and Australia have devised a decentralized system to avoid medical data overload. They describe the peer-to-peer system in a forthcoming issue of the International Journal of Computer Applications in Technology. http://www.physorg.com/news155810080.html Technology Mon, 09 Mar 2009 09:35:15 EST news155810080 Could a concept from information technology familiar to online file sharers be exploited to reduce road congestion and even traffic accidents?
