Secrets of ENIAC.
The Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC) was among the very first computers—some say it was the first, though there are competing claims. Built at Penn from 1942 to 1946, its work was the most prosaic imaginable: calculating missile ballistics and later helping with the design of the hydrogen bomb. Looking back from today, with every facet of society permeated by super-fast, ultra-miniaturized, all-but-invisible computers, the ENIAC seems ludicrously clunky and primitive. But this is where it all began.

Un dels que he trobat més interessants és el vídeo Intro to TrueCrypt.
TrueCrypt is an open source encryption package for Windows and Linux, with plans to port it to other systems as well. It allows you to create file systems that transparently encrypt the data stored to them. Since it is open sourced it has been well reviewed and can be ported to new platforms, not something that can be said for Microsoft’s EFS. Another cool feature of TrueCrypt is “plausible deniability” encryption. A hidden volume can be stored in a standard volume using a different password, allowing the user, if forced, to giveaway the outer volume password while keeping the hidden volume password secret.
