02 The Affiliate Myth
Once upon a time, the online world known as the internet
was such a new idea that very few people knew it even
existed. People used it to publish and share important data
and communicate between computers. Then, some bright
computer developers invented software that would make it
easy for everyone to use the internet -- and then others
invented ways of putting pictures on the internet. By the
early 1990s, the internet was a fabulous world of visual
communication that connected people all over America. Then
someone said : 'let's use the internet to SELL STUFF' !' and
the internet changed forever.

11 Board of Directors think they are 'above' IT Security
A survey of 300 IT Security professionals has revealed that
board of directors are most likely to ignore or flout security
policies and procedures, with 42% cited as frequently
ignoring them. That's according to a survey released today
by Cryptzone, Europe's IT Threat Mitigation specialists, who
found that rather than setting an example, over half of
respondents were convinced that senior management believe
that "the rules don't apply to them" when it comes to
respecting IT security policies and procedures. Download the
