Hitler cloud sec

You may or may not be aware of the mass of "Hitler rant" videos on YouTube. These take a clip (from the movie "Downfall") and subtitle it with a rant from Hitler about everything from college football to the iPhone to Facebook accounts to ... well, anything at all.

Some items of this were given in a story in the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/29/technology/29spy.html ). There is also related work in a report out of Cambridge (http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/techreports/UCAM-CL-TR-746.html and full report at http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/techreports/UCAM-CL-TR-746.pdf )(which, like everything else Ross Anderson has written, is worth reading regardless of your level of interest).
