Friday Squid Blogging: Chromatophores
Neat:
Chromatophores are tiny color-changing cells in cephalopods. Watch them blink back and forth from purple to white on this squid’s skin in an Instagram video taken by Drew Chicone…
It’s completely hypnotic to watch these tiny cells flash with color. It’s as if the squid has a little sky full of twinkling stars on its skin. This has to be one of the coolest looking sea creatures I’ve seen.
As usual, you can also use this squid post to talk about the security stories in the news that I haven’t covered.

Is anyone here at Schneier following this case?

I still find it unbelievable that something like this is happening in Australia. We’re not talking about Iran or Libya or any other country ran by a deranged despot, this is what now passes for reasonable/enforceable “law of the land” in a five-eyes country.
How insecure do you need to be to even consider prosecuting this case?
Logic is clearly playing no role in this decision process, it’s game-on and their first move is a stumble, drop the ball and turnover possession.
