Dedications

For the years of sacrifice and patience with me, nothing I have ever done would be possible without the support of my mother. For my niece Alexa: May she grow up in a world that continues to cherish privacy.

Gary Bahadur

To my mother and sister, for all their love and support, and in memory of my father, for all his love and sacrifices.

William Chan

To my mom, dad, and relatives for believing in me. To Anne and our friends for understanding my passion for computer technology and for sharing years of good surfing.
