Steven Rambam
64kbps (Part I), 64kbps (Part II)

Hopefully there will be no surprises this year. In 2006, privacy expert Steven Rambam’s two hour panel was disrupted by federal authorities who arrested him at the conference just prior to its commencement. In the end, he was completely vindicated and went on to finally give his talk several months later to a packed house at a local university. This year, Steven will be on for three hours, in part to make up for what you may have missed last time, but mostly because what he says about the state of privacy in our society will captivate you.

The “world’s most dangerous hacker” and subject of our documentary Freedom Downtime (along with many other more sensationalist pieces over the decades) gives us an update on what’s been going on in his life since the last time he was here in 2004. (A severe case of food poisoning in Colombia forced him to cancel his HOPE Number Six appearance - which may be one of the stories he tells this time.)

The human brain is an incredibly complex and advanced central processing system. Interestingly enough, in spite of its uniqueness in several respects, it has many qualities in common with modern computer systems. Like modern computer systems, the brain and ultimately the mind can be predictably influenced and even exploited. This talk will cover the basic nature of the brain in relation to computer systems and will discuss the relevance, the advantages, and the dangerous implications of this topic.
