• Microsoft Security Essentials – Ready to download

    Why pay for a Anti-Malware solution if you can get one of the best solutions in the world for free – go and download it! It is there: http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/

    And now, the disclaimer: It runs only on genuine Windows!

    Have fun, enjoy. I am running it since quite a while with my friends and families and they all love it as they do not see and feel it at all – unless something bad happens. It is great!

  • IT outsourcing most affected by data leaks – What about the Cloud?

    I recently asked in a panel, where the difference is between Cloud Computing and classical outsourcing – I kind of became unpopular because this is simply uncool… But I stick with it (knowing there are differences) but the difference is not that big in my opinion. So, reading this article IT outsourcing most affected by data leaks I was just thinking why Cloud Computing shall be any better.

    In addition, I am not really sure whether we do not make the same mistakes we did with outsourcing again – or better: I am convinced that we are in the process of repeating the same mistakes.

    I am using a Latin keyboard and my Arabic is kind of “rusty” but I guess that this could be of real help if you write Arabic:

    Microsoft Maren

    There is a good video on that page.

  • H1N1 (Swine) Flu Preparedness - Guide for Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources

    This morning I stumbled across a guide by the US Health & Human Services with regards to H1N1. Even though it did not catch much news lately I am not sure whether it is really over. Staying prepared it definitely not a bad thing. Even though it is US-centric, you should probably look into it: http://flu.gov/professional/pdf/cikrpandemicinfluenzaguide.pdf it gives a good insightful view of the pandemic planning.

  • When Goog becomes your Roommate (a “must see”)

    I just found that this morning. If you have 15 minutes, you have to watch these videos. They are really fun (are they?):

     

    Enjoy! I did (partly)
