There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

A team of Georgia Tech researchers have developed a security system — dubbed LatentGesture — that monitors how a user taps and swipes a mobile device. If the movements don’t match the owner’s unique touch signature, the system recognizes the differences and can be programmed to lock the device.
