How secure is your company online?
Imagine losing millions worth of proprietary files or corporate information assets without your knowledge. Your computer may be capable of storing a truckload of data, but a click of a finger can unleash a virus that can erase every document, every spreadsheet, and every file.
Watching IT
A common thread that connects almost all sci-fi stories, from the blockbuster movies, such as the Star Wars and the Startrek series, to the least read compilations, is man’s fear or distrust of technology. Computers becoming sentient and more intelligent than their creators, robots turning against their makers, or any other new technology that becomes too big to handle or turns into something sinister, endangering the health and hide of humanity. These have become staples of a good number of movie plots, turning man’s innate fears into unfailing sources of box office revenues.
Video game maker target teens with cancer
Cigna Corp. said on Wednesday it will offer HopeLab's "Re-Mission" video game, which lets teens and young adults blast cancer while learning how to improve the odds of beating the disease, free of charge on its Web site.
Blog-O-Rama
I made a post about "The Unofficial Etiquette Guide to Bloggers' EBs" over my personal blog which elicited a few Diggs and reader reactions. EB has evolved into the accepted slang for that act of finally seeing someone or some people you've only corresponded with through email, text or any other electronic medium. Hence, the informal use of the word "eyeball" or eye-to-eye. According to blogger Tito Basa, the word eyeball became popular in the 90s, when amateur radios (2 meter) ruled the airwaves in the absence of phones (both landline and mobile). "Radio users chat using the radio looking for someone to be with in those days before the internet became popular locally," said he.

Watching IT
I have always loved technology. I truly believe that technology plays a most significant role in improving our lives. Look at what we as a species have accomplished as far as technology is concerned. Humans have been to the moon and back; man-made vehicles have visited Mars and photographed other planets in and out our galaxy.
Java champion's corner
Not too long ago, I wrote about various sources of news and tutorials about Java technology but I missed out featuring the podcasts and vodcast/video podcasts. For those of you who fancy hearing technology related news and commentaries on your favorite portable media device, then here’s a short rundown of what’s available on the iTunes store.
Open Notes
Run for your files! It’s time to move on. Microsoft’s proprietary file format had been losing out to the OpenDocument format. It seems a bright "vista" is not in Microsoft’s long term future. Their grand scheme for world domination that involves achieving sole control of file formats is slowly becoming futile. In fact, I would predict that if Microsoft does not embrace open standards soon, their precious MS Office suite will soon join the ranks of washed-up has-beens WordStar, VisiCalc, Lotus 1-2-3, dBase, and other former office leaders. Anything’s possible.
Digital Citizens: When Two Worlds Collide
They thought it would never happen but it did. At the All Things Digital conference (D5) in San Diego, Mr. Mac Steve Jobs and Mr. Microsoft Bill Gates shared the stage for the first time in more than two decades. Technology buffs who attended and witnessed the event said that the meeting was long overdue and they were expecting a head-to-head technology discussion between two of the greatest minds of the industry.
Of Macs & Tux
Last week, I retrieved my 2.33GHz Core 2 Duo 15.4" Macbook Pro from one of the Apple authorized service centers, as replacement for my defective Macbook Pro. The first thing I did was to do my usual ritual (which I shared with you a couple of weeks ago). Nothing beats a freshly installed Mac in terms of speed - not that it behaves like Windows, i.e., the more you install software, the slower it goes - but at least you do not get some wasted space from all those applications that you have tried out before.
