If you follow us on Twitter, you may have noticed that we were live tweeting at the NAB Conference in Las Vegas this past week. There was plenty going on, and 98,000 people attending from 150 different countries. Weren't able to make it out to Las Vegas this year? We've compiled all of our tweets from this past week, to get you up to date on what was talked about at NAB this year. Read our Twitter stream to follow the events and talks over the past week. Enjoy!

If you're attending SOURCE Boston, there's a discussion Thursday at 11 a.m. you should attend. It deals with a subject we've been working hard to address at Akamai: burnout in the security industry, and how we can make things better by tapping into the better angels of our nature.

It was only six months ago that Akamai opened its core technology, revealing the Open Platform Initiative strategy. The main idea was to enable everyone; every developer, every customer and every partner, to access Akamai technology and benefit from its amazing power. You may arguably say that this was a small step on a long path. But let's look back and see how much we walked, using the evolution of technology as our context.

As technology has evolved, there were milestones that changed the way we use it in our lives, milestones that changed and improved things forever. More importantly, technology plays a key role in the way we all behave, communicate, learn, share and spend our leisure time. Technology is now part of our lives, as it was never before.

Attention, SOURCE Boston attendees: If you or anyone you know needs a job, come by our booth. Recruiters are on hand, and they have several positions to fill, including:

Akamai CSO Andy Ellis wrote about how we're protecting customers from the much-publicized Heartbleed vulnerability OpenSSL fixed in an update Monday. At SOURCE Boston 2014, there's plenty of personal proof that this bug is a big deal. You could say it ruined the first day of the conference for some.

Update 2014-04-11: Updated information on our later analysis here.

We're getting a lot of questions about the OpenSSL Heartbleed fix. What follows are the most commonly asked questions, with our answers.

The Heartbleed bug affects a heartbeat functionality within the TLS/DTLS portion of the library. It allows the attacker to -- silently and without raising alarms -- dump portions of the servers memory to the client. This can allow the attacker to walk through the memory space of the server, possibly dumping private SSL keys and certainly exposing important secrets.

All versions of the OpenSSL library between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1f contain the Heartbleed bug and should be updated to 1.0.1g as soon as possible. (The vulnerability researchers have posted their analysis, and an excellent analysis is up on Sean Cassidy's blog.

A fix is now available for a serious Open SSL flaw known as Heartbleed. The vulnerability, covered in CVE-2014-0160, affects OpenSSL 1.0.1 through 1.0.1f with two exceptions: OpenSSL 1.0.0 branch and 0.9.8.

SOURCE Conference 2014 runs tomorrow through Thursday at the Marriott on Tremont Street, Boston. Akamai is a platinum sponsor of the event and we hope to see you there. To help attendees acclimate, we're sharing the following talk descriptions, which are also available on the conference website.

After yesterday's post on booth babes, I heard from a lot of people who agree vendors need to find other ways to attract attention during security conferences. One reader correctly noted that this unfortunate phenomenon isn't the result of bad intentions. It's just that some marketing teams don't know any better. They assume the booth babes work because they see others using them.
