They're saying that spam phishing is down for the 3rd quarter, but
the other forms of spam attacks have actually increased as spammers
discover people are becoming educated to phishing techniques. Thanks
for that. But we still need to be vigilant:

* 1 in 5 employees succumb to phishing emails, says new study
* FBI agent urges caution in cybercrime lecture series
* Apple Users Advised to be Wary of Phishing E-mails
* Spam targeting email traffic drops during Q3
* Scam Squad: A closer look at 'phishing'

03 Cyber Security - Surveillance, Security, cloud danger and more
User Group Network UGN Safenetting and Cyber Security report The
industry is finding all kinds of excuses, and now they're using the
NSA security leaks in reference to the internet - but the two really
have nothing to do with each other. NPR's "On Point" show was
bantaring the sky is falling and the government is using the internet
to spy on people - I never heard so many lies in a single radio show
in my life. We recommend you do NOT listen to NPR's On Point Radio
show. Anyway, we really wish the general public would get a correct
understanding of how the internet works, and how important regulation
of the internet and strong cyber security are to our society. People
just don't get it, and won't . . . until 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...
* Officials Warn of Dangers Weakening Cybersecurity To Facilitate
Government Surveillance
* Utilities Are Now In the Business Of Protecting National Security
* Growing cyber attacks pose threat to cloud storage: Experts
* House committee concerned over Obamacare cyber security
* Modern Navy presents cybersecurity challenge
* The 80-20 rule of cyber security
and more . . .

about Twitter's IPO:

14 Quotes: WWSJS
The people who are doing the work are the moving force behind the Mac.
My job is to create a space for them, to clear out the rest of the
organization and keep it at bay.
To turn really interesting ideas and fledgling technologies into a
company that can continue to innovate for years, requires a
lot of disciplines.
Steve Jobs
