It was a fairly slow news day yesterday. So, today we lead off with a post on the Chromium blog, announced the integration of the physical web into Chrome for iOS. Algorithmia talks about mining Product Hunt and detecting voting rings. Collin Mulliner talks about how the Hacking Team used open source software that he wrote as a basis for some of their tools. Yes, sometimes open source software can be used for evil, or at least nefarious purposes.

As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
