<blockquote>
<blockquote><p>At Natanz, for almost 17 months, Stuxnet quietly worked its way into the system and targeted a specific component &#8212; the frequency converters made by the German equipment manufacturer Siemens that regulated the speed of the spinning centrifuges used to create nuclear fuel. The worm then took control of the speed at which the centrifuges spun, making them turn so fast in a quick burst that they would be damaged but not destroyed. And at the same time, the worm masked that change in speed from being discovered at the centrifuges&#8217; control panel.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok, I know the Vietnamese culture a little now and lets just say, a little bit of showing off (in moderation, of course), or &#8216;bragging rites&#8217; or even call it &#8216;gaining face&#8217; (never have liked this term, sound like a symptom for some weird tropical disease) is not frowned upon. There is , however, a dark menace lurking in the shadows of Ho Chi Minh City that is pushing it&#8217;s way towards the mainstream. It all looks like a bit of fun. A bit of a laugh. Being raised &amp; spending most of my life in Romford, Essex, I can give a first hand account of how this can be one of the building blocks that is used to bring the modern world into a state of anarchy. Actually, even worse, a state of lethargy. What, you ask? well&#8230;</p>

<p>Seems perfectly innocent, doesn&#8217;t it? A company CEO needs a limo, It&#8217;s what he&#8217;s accustomed to, some one is providing the service in Ho Chi Minh City as well. Nice idea, found a niche market and they are simply &#8216;supplying a need&#8217;, right?&nbsp; No harm in that, right?&#8230;</p>
<p>WRONG</p>
<p>Let me begin with what his company have to offer our businessman. You&#8217;ve just got of a 12 hour flight so you are feeling a bit shit, but&nbsp; this is an important manufacturing link in Vietnam so yu need to make a good impression. Disregarding the fact that you were in first class, and were sleeping on a bed that 80% of the worlds population can only dream about having a quick five minutes kip on before security throws you out back into the gutter, you are feeling a bit crappy. Poor Diddums. You need a nice relaxing enviroment to get your stuff together to impress these people. A nice, somber space that i can stretch out and go through the presentation that I need to&#8230;
