I search mail for "ted stuxnet" and came up blank, so maybe people have not
seen this one yet:

Ralph Langner: Cracking Stuxnet, a 21st-century cyber weapon
http://www.ted.com/talks/ralph_langner_cracking_stuxnet_a_21st_century_cyberweapon.html

Oh, and if anyone wants a Google+ invite, ping me here or on gmail -
pirkster at gmail.
It is only available to gmail addresses at this time, Apps users and
business listing will come soon...
