Two breaking news items today that relate to security -- or a frightening lack thereof -- at US government-run nuclear labs Sandia and Los Alamos. First, an item from my Wired News colleague Noah Shachtman, on Defensetech blog:

Los Alamos National Laboratory director Pete Nanos shut down the country's leading nuclear weapons lab on Friday, after a set of classified computer disks disappeared, and a student was hit in the eye with a powerful laser beam -- all in the space of a week.

"As of today, Director Nanos has suspended all Operations at the Laboratory," an internal e-mail obtained by Wired News read. "This is a very serious step."

"This willful flouting of the rules must stop, and I don't care how many people I have to fire to make it stop. If you think the rules are silly, if you think compliance is a joke, please resign now and save me the trouble," Nanos added in a separate e-mail to Los Alamos employees.

And separately today, this press release was issued by Sandia National Laboratories:

Sandia National Laboratories has located a floppy disk that had turned up missing in a recent inventory. The floppy disk, which had been marked classified, was found about 1 p.m. today (Friday). Sandia had reported the disk as missing June 30 in a wall-to-wall inventory. (...)

Sandia Corporation President and Laboratories Director C. Paul Robinson said: "We are relieved the disk has been found. But in my mind, the nature of the near miss of this recent incident is far too close for comfort. We must find better ways and procedures for ensuring the protection of such material."

Susan Mernit has some good ideas on how it might work. Example: Combine the NY Times or Washington Post with Technorati and Feedster. She asks:

"Why don't we see a major media outlet that will file lots of stories during the election find a way to work with Technorati or Feedster so they can have almost real-time links reflecting people's comments on--and links to--the stories--right on their web site?"

Energy Dreams and Energy Realities

Energy Dreams and Energy Realities 06/19/2004 03:13 PM
Interesting dissection of US energy/environmental politics and policy along conservative/liberal lines: "We are, it seems, always in some kind of energy crisis, real or imagined. Some worry that our major sources of energy are about to run out. Some despair that our energy-hungry civilization is destroying the natural world. Some believe our quest for energy is driving us into unnecessary wars and unsavory alliances. And some lament that excessive regulations on energy development are crippling the American way of life. When it comes to energy politics, there is no shortage of alarmism, conservative and liberal alike." The conclusion was sorta weak tho, I thought :D [via J. Orlin Grabbe - NSFW!]

In-Stat/MDR reports that more embedded Wi-Fi cards were sold than removable PC cards last year: More than 49 percent of Wi-Fi adapters last year were embedded in computers, compared to PC cards which amounted to nearly 40 percent of adapters. Last year, 55 percent of all notebook PCs contained Wi-Fi adapters. More embedded cards logically leads to more Wi-Fi use, as non-geeks become more likely to use Wi-Fi because they don't have to make an extra purchase or take an extra step. The report also showed that for the first time the Wi-Fi hardware market surpassed $1 billion in quarterly revenue during the fourth quarter last year....
