Another year has come and gone with it another Chaos Communication Congress. For those of you who don't know the CCC is an annual hacker conference held in Germany. Luckily for me many of the talks are in English.

Videos of the talk have been trickling onto youtube and I wanted to highlight some of the more interesting talks.
