Over the weekend Apple released a software update for its iOS 7
mobile operating system after a potential security risk was unveiled

SSL (secure socket layer) connection verification. According to
Chicago-based tech expert Karl Volkman of SRV Network, Inc., the

12 Tim Cook: Apple TV did over $1B in 2013 revenue
While the iPhone and iPad have come to dominate Apple's business,
the television has often been relegated to an afterthought for the
company. So much for Apple TV being just a hobby, said Chief Executive
Tim Cook.
"That hobby was over a billion dollars of revenue last year,
... It's a little hard to call it a hobby anymore."

13 Quotes: March, wealth and luck
"The fact remains that the overwhelming majority of people who
have become wealthy have become so thanks to work they found
profoundly absorbing... The long term study of people who eventually
become wealthy clearly reveals that their 'Luck' arouse from the
accidental dedication they had to an area they enjoyed."
-- Srully Blotnick
Money is the reward, but if it ever becomes the goal, you will lose
sight of your dream and do things that make no one happy.
-- The Statler Brothers
He does not possess wealth; it possesses him.
-- Benjamin Franklin
