Located in the Indian Ocean the Seychelles consists of about 155 islands this archipelago is one of the unspoilt tourist resources with rich traditions and untouched nature. Found to the north east of Madagascar and about 1600 km to the east coast of Africa. The Seychelle islands have always been one of the most popular exotic destinations throughout the year thanks to the peace and serenity that reigns within them. The ideal holiday in the Seychelles is surely to stay in a private house near the beach and maybe allow you to enjoy nature and tranquility inherent in these places.

Places to visit in the archipelago are many each of which is worth a visit en route to take advantage of all that these fantastic islands can offer, from the views of the delights of restaurants offering fresh seafood from the unmistakable quality.

The culture of the Seychelles is a typical traditional mind, based on matriarchy, so that in many cases families are formed by single mothers, children who grow up independently. Precisely for this major cultural events of these islands are based on the predominance of the female figure whether engagements, presentations, collections of fashion or social events in general. It’s not only the traditions that have influenced the culture in general and the history of the Seychelles Islands. The dual French and English rule has meant that these two types of culture will merge into a unique mix also influenced by the Kenyan tradition. In fact, despite the school structure is based on the English system the French influence is detectable in many levels of education so that in many processed Anthropological Society of Seychelles has been called “essentially English but emphatically French.”

In addition to these cultural differences, however, that alone are worth a view of the archipelago, there are many natural beauties that you can find. There are many forests in the various islands and there are many tree species that can be seen as the Coco de Mer is only present on the islands of Praslin and Curieuse, or the wonderful species of wild orchids. But even animals do not leave much to be desired just think of the giant tortoises of Aldabra, or the numerous colonies of sea birds that find refuge here during migrations is that throughout the year.

Apart from relaxing in the Seychelles, however, you can play many sports especially diving or snorkeling activities widely practiced by both tourists and explorers from marine life. Of course, view the beautiful marine life here in this deep sea fishing is prohibited even if the fishing on the surface is a major resource for the sustenance of the indigenous population.

Some people at the Security and Cryptography Lab at Switzerland’s EPFL have managed to capture the EMF (Electro-Magnetic Radiation) comming from wired computer keyboard. OK, we all know that if we used a wireless keyboard that any old FBI Agent – or hacker could easily catpure the signals being transmitted by the keyboard. But now they have figured out how to capture the pressed keys from a wired keyboard.

What next? They’ll be able to see what I’m doing on my screen too? It’s not that far fetched.

The tests were run in a fairly EMF free zone (There were no other devices around such as monitors, mobiles and other devices that give off strong electromagnetic waves), they were also, but the looks of it were using a unidirectional antenna (A “Tunnel Vision” antenna).

The expirement was tested on laptops with the embedded keyboards, and external USB/PS2 keyboards. They have so far managed to work out 4 different ways to grab our data fom a range of approximately 20 meters.

I believe this is just the start of this sort of technology. Hmmm… this gives me even more of a reason to live inside a faraday cage…
