04 Cyber Security -- Paypal hack, Microsoft, India and more
We continue to be amazed at how stupid the people in charge are.
Like the judges that decided the PayPal hack wasn't that bad after all
and plea bargained! And the "heads-in-the-sand" media is ignoring
India's move to take control of the internet. Nobody will even make a
whimper until the net goes down -- but then it's too late! Keep your
self protected and help your neighbors get more aware of the risks
they take! Here's where we watch future history unfold...

11 Quotes: Achieving goals
The greater danger for most of us is
not that our aim is too high and we miss it,
but that it is too low and we reach it.
--Michelangelo
It is for us to pray not for tasks equal to our powers,
but for powers equal to our tasks,
to go forward with a great desire forever beating at the door of
our hearts as we travel toward our distant goal.
--Helen Keller
