– I will be amending our Employee polices tonight.. 🙂Verizon finds US developer outsourced his job to China so he could surf Reddit and watch cat videos No, this is not the Onion, it’s not April Fools, and I’m not making this up. All of this comes straight from Verizon, or more specifically, a case study from 2012 outlined by its security team. See also – Verizon investigator: How one US developer could have gotten away with outsourcing his job to China The story goes a little something like this. A developer at a US-based critical infrastructure company, referred to as “Bob,” was caught last year outsourcing his work to China, paying someone else less than one fifth of his six-figure salary to do his job. As a result, Bob had a lot of time on his hands; in fact, during the investigation, his browsing history revealed this was his typical work day: 9:00 a.m. – Arrive and surf Reddit for a couple of hours. Watch cat videos.11:30 a.m. – Take lunch.1:00 p.m. – Ebay time.2:00 – ish p.m Facebook updates – LinkedIn.4:30 p.m. – End of day update e-mail to management.5:00 p.m. – Go home.Again, I want to emphasize […]
oday.. well it is at least very rare to find anymore… especially on the street… Reshared post from +CopTalk Whatever Happened To Manners? January 26th 2013 Webster’s definition of manners: Etiquette, Decorum, Refinement, Good Manners, Polite ways of social behavior. I was on patrol the other day when I saw three teens crossing the street. Actually, they were jaywalking but what caught my attention was that two of them were eating from a fast food bag and dropping the wrappers in the street as they walked. I stopped next to them and asked them if they dropped something. After a few replies of “huh?, I asked them how they would like it if I went to their house and threw a bunch of garbage and wrappers in their yard and their reply was “this ain’t nobody’s yard”. I felt like asking them if their mama ever taught them any manners but from the looks of how these rebel teens acted, I already knew the answer. I told them I didn’t appreciate them throwing their garbage down in my city and I made them walk back in the street to pick up the wrappers. The only real satisfaction I got […]

Death of the Password….? I know I would not mind… http://www.yubico.com/2013/01/google-protocol-yubico-identity-vision/ Google protocol & Yubico identity vision I have always loved Google. So far the company has created the world’s best search engine, email system and maps. And now, this Internet Giant has revealed that it is giving the world a new security protocol. The protocol is designed to be integrated across a wide range of authentication hardware, including SIM cards, Yubikey NEOs or a ring you carry on your finger. It is primarily based on open standards, so not really revolutionary as it is. However, if implemented cleverly, the protocol holds the potential to solve some of the fundamental problems with online identity. And these are problems we need to fix soon. Very soon. Or billions of people, along with the great creation named the Internet, will be in serious trouble. At this stage we cannot say which route Google will choose to ensure mass adoption of their security protocol. But we can say that Yubico has decided to engage in the project as we believe it could be a game changer. And this is the vision: Imagine that you have one single key and one single password to […]
This is terrible news for +500px – not that they can really protest but I sure hope they do.. Guess this is why I like Android….. well one reason… Reshared post from +Michael Soliman Apple is pulling the 500px and ISO500 apps from the App Store on the grounds that these apps provide access to "pornography". This isn't anything new by Apple. I'm just saddened because 500px–a site of very high quality photography–is one of my sources of inspiration. Thoughts? 500px got the App Store axe, but what about all these other R-rated apps? Apple has removed photography community app 500px from the App Store for allowing access to nude images, despite a hoard of other apps that provide even more NSFW content. But this isn’t just another … View this post on Google+

In album Read the usage instructions… Only 50 Available in the US – Quite possibly if this came in black it would be the best Zombie invasion motorcycle ever… Funny part is these side car Motorcycles are very cool… and I was considering getting one as they are 2wd… 2012 Ural Yamal Limited Edition Sidecar Motorcycle Snow, and ice-and better yet-permafrost as far as the eyes can see. They call it the Yamal Peninsula, which translates as the end of the Earth. A peninsula in Russia, which is known for being nothing short of inhospitable, barren, and perpetually frozen. What a perfect namesake then for a Russian icebreaker. These ships spend their days forging paths through the impasse that is the frozen Arctic Ocean, just north of Siberia. Heavy, rugged, and focused intently on their mission, these boats are truly one of a kind.When we chose our inspiration for the 2012 limited edition, we struck upon the brilliance of the Yamal. A vessel designed to conquer any impasse, a vessel that may not always make sense, but one which—when speaking to the right people—is absolutely necessary. Our bikes are much like this strange breed of sea-going vessel: durable, dependable, and […]
