01 The Cyber Threat : Planning for the Way Ahead
Denial of service attacks, network intrusions, state-sponsored
hackers bent on compromising our national security: The cyber
threat is growing, and in response, said FBI Director Robert S.
Mueller, the Bureau must continue to strengthen its partnerships
with other government agencies and private industry
-- and take the fight to the criminals.

03 UGNN Facebook Update: New Timeline, Old Woes
Facebook updates follow the world of Facebook because it's
got to do with YOU! Amazing to learn that the original audience
for Facebook is now wandering off, and now with Facebook focused
on profits, they're changing the timeline once again:

* Don't get punked by Facebook, watch out for these spam attacks
* Police chief suspended for Facebook pic with gun-toting woman
* Facebook sends invite promising 'new look for the News Feed'

* Get ready for Facebook Graph Search
* Why teens are tiring of Facebook
. . . and more

05 MacMate Has Filesharing for Large Files
MacMate, the Mac cloud storage and hosting service, which
launched to replace Apple's MobileMe service in 2012, has
added its sixth key feature into the growing MacMate cloud
service: FileSharing, the ability to easily send any file,
any size, to anyone. With a few clicks, users can drag
or select a file to share, add a message
and send securely.

06 iTunes U
I've often called iTunes U one of Apple's best kept secrets.

07 Safenetting : Phishing from February to March
Phishing and cyber crime go hand in hand with malware
-- but I think spam and phishing overall is in decline.
This week's Safenetting evils are :

* Mandiant's Report Manipulated and Utilized within Phishing Scams
* How to spot a spammer on Pinterest
* ACMA bags another spammer's scalp

08 Where is Opportunity Emerging From?
There's been a lot of talk about emerging markets lately,
but what does it all mean for business growth? How are professional
jobs changing in emerging markets? This week we look at the growth
of professional positions in emerging markets, where the highest
potential for investment lies, and whether the skills shortage
in South Africa will affect the future of top-level
professionals in the country.

11 Quotes: Making Decisions
In any decision situation, the amount of relevant information
available is inversely proportional to the
importance of the decision.
- Paul Dickson
When the decision is up before you --
and on my desk I have a motto which says
"The buck stops here" --the decision has to be made.
--Harry S. Truman
I invented this rule for myself.
I would sort out all the arguments and see which belonged
to fear and which to creativeness, and other things being
equal I would make the decision which had the larger
number of creative reasons on its side.
--Katharine Butler Hathaway
