MD5 considered harmful - SSL to be considered broken?

A team of researchers (including one Norwegian) has managed to break the technology that issues trusted certificates for secure websites (SSL). As a proof of concept they executed a practical attack scenario and successfully created a rogue Certification Authority (CA) certificate trusted by all common web browsers.

RootCandy - Drupal administration theme

Rootcandy screenshotOne of the biggest drawbacks with Drupal is the admin section, at least that's what most my clients says. It's hard to navigate, it looks just like the rest of the site, and don't have the "you're in the admin section" feel to it.
This has changed with the the RootCandy theme for Drupal 6.x
