23.11.2007Top ten dumbest things I've seen or done in the workplace
In
twenty-something years in high-tech, I've witnessed and done some
really stupid things. I'm talking about things that were embarrassing, unethical, incompetent, or just plain dumb. This kind of stuff can get you
fired, sued, or even arrested, and worst case, can cause the demise of a company.
Keep in mind, some of this stuff is politically
incorrect, racy, or even illegal, which is precisely why it's so dumb. So if you get offended by that sort of thing, be forewarned. Also, some of
them didn't exactly happen "in the workplace," but after hours with coworkers. Close enough.

02.02.2009Windows Vista and protection from malware
On November 30, Sophos issued
its monthly report on the top
ten threats reported to them
in November of 2006. As a part
of this, Sophos also studied
Windows Vista's vulnerability
to these malware threats. I
found the information and
press discussion confusing, so
I thought I would clarify what
this really means for
customers.
In order
to understand what was really
going on here, I asked the
team to go look at the
technical facts behind the
story, and that started in the
lab. We began by observing
first-hand how these various
forms of malware affect a
Windows Vista system using a
machine that was configured
with the default settings and
without any additional
security software. What we
found was that if you are
using only the software in
Windows Vista (e.g., Windows
Mail and no add-on security
software), then you are immune
to all ten of the malware
threats that Sophos cited.
