What is your view?: Stuxnet: Future of warfare? Or just lax security?

Actually I had a few very interesting discussions lately as a reaction on my post Is There Any Value in Twitter? Yes? Think Again… and I think Thibaud brought it to the point: Mass-follow is the “problem” – in other words me .

I had thought about getting out of Twitter but I will get back in. I removed all the people I was following and just added a few hand-picked. If I lost you – let me know.

Happy tweeting

I want to make you aware of the “Real Men” campaign to raise awareness about the problem of child sex slavery. If you can cope with it, listen to the press conference here:

This is a unique partnership between the Demi&Ashton Foundation and different technology companies like Google, Twitter, Facebook, Microsoft and a lot of other companies.

A very good development!

I know that this is “old news” but I wanted to make sure that everybody has seen that: We will make Microsoft Security Essentials available for small business for free. Small businesses are up to 10 PCs. This is great news as a lot of small businesses do not use Anti-Malware Software and do not need any central management.

If you want to read more details: Announcing: Microsoft Security Essentials available FREE to Small Businesses in October!

Obviously I do not like people to steal software. Additionally, from at least two perspectives it adds security risks: People are less likely to patch and pirated software often comes wit pre-installed malware, which is then hard to detect.

There is just such a case now with the iPhone: Fake iPhone jail-breaking tool packed with malware
