I have been watching the news centering around the Consumer Electronics Show. I believe this convention is a snapshot on the trend of what
I have always wished I could afford better hacker protection of my personal servers and home machines. A great article in Washington Post describes one of the Symantec's War Room which monitors and protects a large number of corporate networks. Prices for monitoring start at nearly $1000.00 per month. I just wonder when someone is going to launch such a
If your like me you listen to Webcasting from time to time. I do not normally spend hours on end listening to Radio Stations via the Net but I do tune into several syndicated programs as they are not carried in Hawaii.
