Websense vs Spammers - they can't hide

Websense Security Labs has discovered that Google’s popular web mail service Gmail is being targeted in recent spammer tactics. Spammers in these attacks managed to created bots that are capable of signing up and creating random Gmail accounts for spamming purposes. more...

This aggressive approach to "marketing" should wake up a few. For the rest of us, it puts a damper on using WEB 2.0 (Google's additional services) tools.

Firefox: Yes we do have a option....

At the Southern California Linux Expo, (SCALE) Chris Blizzard of Mozilla provided insight into the future of the Firefox web browser. Firefox's mobile potential - caught my eye. Thanks again to the people @arstechnica.com for providing this update.

As the Mobile World Conference kicks off in Barcelona Spain (Feb 11-13) we need to take a step back an view one small application that continually is over looked - browser. Microsoft has taken every advantage to secure that and ensure (like PCs) you don't have an option. Apple - took care of iPhone, but what about the new players hoping to enter this market. In our opinion, if Mozilla continues to just rely on downloads, Open Source will miss another opportunity to move forward in today's enterprises. Google I hope your reading this, someone has to challenge Microsoft on all fronts, Mobile units are the platform that needs something other than MS solutions.

Distribution of content also entails portable devices, i.e. USB Flash Drive

As a duplicator we get many different request(s) and manufactures are always on the look out for new markets. Supporting their VAR Channel Market first of course.

Microboards, Minneapolis, MN takes a page out of the NEC Sales Manual. Pricing and Availability April 2008. Create the demand prior to shipment and pre-sell everything. With the explosive use of USBs which at times can envy James Bond. MB looks to catapult themselves ahead in this potential market. But what about security of the data?

Welcome in IronKey, what I like is the companies path of
first standardizing your portable media, then secure it. Many CIOs get a rude awakening when they see 5 different types of portable media carrying a companies{or some case personal} information, knowing full well (2) of those units have only the protection of someones pocket.

2008 is the year of mobility, atleast for us. Wireless Virtual World is upon us. Hopefully in the coming months some core issues of mobile work force or working from "any location" can make great strides in the work place. Old school sometimes has this brick and mortor it just cannot shake. The real problem is the people, who can and who cannot.

Flash drives have attacted themselves. We have gone from transfering data between units, too online access. Truthfully I prefer online access, my dream situation:

Lake Winnebago, Wis - Western shore line, late May. Wife hunting her bluegil or perch while I look for Walleye. Notebook, Wireless, SmartPhone just off shore from a bar/grill that is actually a "Hot Spot" for more than
fish. Camera on the Notebook, SmartPhone, heck Camera is in the boat just haven't figured how to relay the signals and go live.

Get paid hundreds for a job interview (no, really)
Time is money, right? A startup called NotchUp says that
principle is motivating 15,000 professionals a day to sign up
for its as-yet-unpublicized service that will let users
negotiate an appearance fee of sorts with would-be employers.
Debuting at Network World's DEMO 08, the founders say the
service will produce a better pool of candidates and faster
hires for employers by enticing those not actively in the job
market. They also say 10,000 software engineers "working mostly
for top companies" have already signed on.Read more...

2008 brings new challenges.........

Recent survey of CIO priorities: build business skills in IT Department...
knowing a technology then having the skills to apply them within a business. Provoked these top job skills for IT people in 2008:

• Project management skills and certifications
• Security experience
• Business process understanding
• Communication skills, especially writing and teaching expertise
• ability to manage remote workers and virtual teams

The last 2 will be my focus for 2008. This blog, an others, support that effort. Virtual teams need Web 2.0 tools, this blob has helped me identify those tools.

Like all new beginnings, first out of the box is the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Vegas coming up. Press releases are already filling the wires. New gadgets is the theme. Polaroid's mobile Zink photo printer. {glad to see the digital age did not destroy a US land mark}Zink stands for Zero ink.

Why posting the HD-DVD key could land websites in big trouble

EFF attorney Fred Von Lohmann explains the legal arguments AACS would make regarding the posting of the key. Just shows how the DMCA can be, they probably have a case against Digg and any other site that published the code. But we knew this was coming...
