Perfect for dipping in seasoned olive oil, spreading with fresh cultured butter, or slicing in for a wonderful Banh Mi sandwich using the left over Char Siu Pork .

I am at a loss for words. As the reality of the Intel bug settles in, the tech community has been shaken. For years we have falsely assumed the security of virtualization technologies. The convenience and ease of ‘spinning up’ and ‘blowing away’ vms (virtual machines) in server farms has become standard practice across the globe. Even McAfee Media Solutions utilizes virtualization to manage our web and vpn servers; helping us reduce costs and insure greater up times. However, with the introduction of today’s security patches, we have learned a terrible lesson. Not only are virtual servers on Intel systems insecure, the only fix may cause literal crippling reductions in speed. Some independent testing is reporting as high as a 20-30% reduction in speeds. And this doesn’t just affect servers. Users of any Intel chipsets produced in the last decade will be effected. This includes any Apple laptop, desktop, or server produced since 2005, all Intel based Windows systems, and all Inte

As bloody protests continue in the Islamic Republic of Iran, Iranian officials have blocked internet access to Facebook, Instagram, and other social media websites. Amid the protests, the US Undersecretary of State Steven Goldstein has voiced concern over the behavior of Iranian officials and encouraged Iran to stop limiting external access to the countries users. “They are legitimate avenues for communication,” Goldstein said. “People in Iran should be able to access those sites.” Iranians seeking to evade the blocks can use virtual private networks, Goldstein said. Known as VPNs, the services create encrypted data “tunnels” between computers and are used in many countries to access overseas websites blocked by the local government. This comes as a surprise to many anti-surveillance advocates, as the Federal Bureau of Investigation had successfully lobbied for warrantless government hacking of computer systems anonymized with VPNs under the controversial "Rule 41"
