Wow, this has been a crazy busy week.
My apologies for not taking the time to get the daily bits posts out the door. However, don't despair. I have a bumper crop for you today because I have been keeping my eye on things.
Unfortunately you will have to do without my pithy (or so I'd like to believe) comments today. 🙂
Also, RSA Europe 2009, where I'll be speaking, is right around the corner along with some vacation time, so you will see fewer bits posts over the next couple weeks and they will probably be like this one.  I will be back in full gear after the conference. I will blog when I can on what I see at RSA though.
Anywho, here are today's (this weeks) Interesting Information Security Bits from around the web.
