People Trusting Uniforms.
An improv group in New York dressed similarly to Best Buy employees and went into a store, secretly video taping the results.
My favorite part:
Security guards and managers started talking to each other frantically on their walkie-talkies and headsets. "Thomas Crown Affair! Thomas Crown Affair!," one employee shouted. They were worried that were using our fake uniforms to stage some type of elaborate heist. "I want every available employee out on the floor RIGHT NOW!"
Since the people did not actually try to impersonate Best Buy employees, could they be charged with any crime? [Schneier on Security]

Archiving Made Easier
The Internet Archive has
released new software, called Archive-It 1.5, that lets colleges
and museums create their own searchable catalogs of data and
multimedia. The software -- available for an annual fee of $10,000 --
allows institutions to manage digital collections comprising as many as
10 million items as part of the archive's main project, a comprehensive
online library showing the evolution of every site on the Web. (CNET
News)
A number of colleges, including the University of Toronto and Indiana
University at Bloomington, have signed up for the service, the archive
said.
