Steampunk Spacestation

Another week gone, and a glorious, sybaritic weekend laid out in front of us like a wanton professionally-companionable person. Naturally, you wouldn’t want to head into such a liason without a full complement of news bytes from around the Cryptosphere, right? Nothing says “pillow talk” like breathy whispers of ISIS, Torrentlocker, Yahoo, encrypted telephony, and forensic accounting.

No? Just me, then? Ho-kay.
