1.An Astonishing Collaboration
By Dan Kaminsky
Wow. It's out. It's finally, finally out. Sweet!

2.Bad-Code Blues
By Don Parker
The current state of secure software development by corporations both large and small is a mess. We are still cursed with half-baked software, and as a result, a never ending stream of vulnerabilities. Secure coding practices and active quality assurance (QA) efforts are now more mainstream, but that still hasn.t made much of a dent.
