Posted by John KellerThe administration of Barack Obama is orchestrating an arms embargo of sophisticated military weapons against the only reliable U.S. ally in the Middle East -- Israel.How much sense does this make at a time when nearby Iran is nearing development of deliverable nuclear weapons and is belligerent as ever?

"WIRELESS: 'Silicon DNA' secures RFID tags"
Cloning radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags permits counterfeiters to fool security systems by responding to authentication challenges with exactly the same response as genuine tags--but not if they include unclonable silicon DNA inside. Look for RFID tags to proliferate into mainstream consumer applications, such as transit passes, now that an unclonable technology is available to secure them. R.C.J.Counterfeiters today copy radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags by "cloning" the chips...

Where Have All the RTOS Vendors Gone?
I'm pleased to report that the Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) is alive and well here in Boston this year. This success is despite the recession and industry trends that have caused some other technical trade shows to fold this year. (That's right, I'm talking about you Software Development Conference.) There's even apparently going to be an ESC Chicago in 2010!However, the RTOS vendors are largely and notably absent from this year's event. Of the major players, only Enea and Green Hills have...
