You Can't Have Iron Man Without IT

Posted on May 15, 2008Feb 1, 2022 by Ken Gagne

It's summer blockbuster season, which means it's time again for a dynamic duo team-up. No, not Batman & Robin — Angela Gunn and I have joined forces to review the technology in yet another explosive film. As we did last year with Live Free or Die Hard and The Bourne Ultimatum, we now turn to…

My Secret Identity

Security Goes to the Movies

Posted on Jul 4, 2007Feb 1, 2022 by Ken Gagne

Happy Fourth of July! Celebrate America's independence with my review of Live Free or Die Hard, currently playing at Computerworld.com.
