The Old & the New, The Latest & the Outdated…

As longtime readers already know, I’m a big fan of Bruce Schneier, CTO and founder of BT Counterpane. Besides being a cryptographic and computer security authority, cryptographic algorithm creator, and author of many best-selling books on security, Bruce produces some of the most relevant conversations on computer security. I consider his books, his Cryptogram newsletter, and his blog must-reads for anyone in computer security.

Bruce is a guy who pushes us to rethink our currently held paradigms. He lays bare unsubstantiated dogma. I don’t always agree with Bruce. But many of the potent ideas that I disagreed with when he espoused them a half decade ago, I find myself agreeing with years later, ideas like how two-factor authentication won’t stop malicious hackers from stealing gobs of money from the online banking industry, and how the biggest problem with security, in general, is us and our irrational ranking of threats.

I distinctly remember Bruce telling me a decade ago how computer security, with all of its advances, was more than likely going to get worse in the future. This was in the face of increasingly accurate anti-virus programs, improved patch management, and solid improvements in OS security across all platforms. He said this in the days of Windows 95 with almost no security, and today we’ve got User Access Control and security so tight on a Windows system that vendors are frequently complaining. At the time, Bruce was the only voice saying that computer security was going to get worse. And he was right.

But it’s a decade later now. ISS’ annual report announced that the number of vulnerabilities went down for the first time in a long time, along with the amount of spam. (Interestingly, they also said that 50 percent of reported vulnerabilities could not be fixed by a patch.) The latest evolving security technologies (such as IPv6, IPSec, Network Access Protection/Network Access Control, anti-malware software, and so on) are promising. End-user education is higher than it’s ever been. Many professional entities and governments are requiring baseline security compliance. My friends only send me half the hoax virus warning messages now that I used to receive.

So, I asked Bruce the same question again, “Will computer security get better or worse over the next decade?”

Here’s his response:

“Computer security is not likely to improve in the near future because of two reasons. One, bad guys are getting better at attacking us. And two, we’re not getting better at defending ourselves. by: infoworld.com

Most of the time people tend to buy products with popular brand names  no matter how pricey they may be compared to those available same products but with a relatively lower price like zennioptical. Why, because they trust the name, not the product actually.

But do you know that own manufactured products with less advertising budget are most of the time much better, quality and price wise?

Take these beautiful frames for example by zennioptical;

you would be surprise how low their price can be compared to those other brands available in the market.Their secret? They are own manufactured, no middlemen and less advertising budget, but in terms of quality, just the same or much even better. So if you are looking for quality frames that would best fit your face choose zennioptical.com

From the time I have reported the problem of my internet connection to my ISP, and that was June 16…(huh, seems like ages ago ) up to this time, still nobody from their tech department have appeared to my door to offer their repair service.

What I’ve got instead, is a telephone call the other day.. and I was almost too happy to answer the man on the other line, before I realized he is from the collection department, reminding me of my bills for the June!!!

It really pissed me off. My gosh… how much longer should it take for them to replace my modem that have malfunctioned. A month?

My friend is a certified blogger. He is the typical techie nerdy who could spend at least 24 hours a day in front of the computer doing everything and anything that is possible in the computer world or in the blogosphere.

But I keep on wondering how he is able to provide for all his internet bills and still have extra income in his account. That is when he shared his top secret to me. He is a proud member of a blog advertising site, the PayPerPost. He encouraged me to use my time in the internet and to maximize the benefits I could get from my blogs.

That’s when I decided to join blog advertising… and to say the least, I am just so happy that I have actually signed for it. I am indeed earning extra bucks now… to pay my bills and a lot more bills. J

I started blogging just to be able to express my personal emotions, opinions of sorts. But now I realized how much potential blog advertising has to ear and make money. Writing is not just a talent, or a hobby, if you can do it as a way to earn…then why not?! And I don’t believe I would just add litter to blogosphere by signing up for blog advertising if I would make it a point to be a responsible paid post blogger. blog advertising.

I never thought how serious as a problem balding could be to anyone. I grew up in a community were bald is synonymous to one hilarious joke. I am very familiar to words like bokal, arabo which are actually con names for bald people. Until, recently now that I am older, more matured (ahhmmm!)… then I came to realize that balding is really a social problem. Emotionally, physically – it can be difficult to persons who where afflicted with hair loss problems.

Males are most commonly prone to hair loss, there are several reasons for this, and one is hereditary. You are likely to experience early thinning of hair if it runs in the family genes.

There is also what we called alopecia. It is defined as the medical description of the loss of hair from the head or body, sometimes to the extent of baldness. Unlike the common cosmetic depilation of body hair, alopecia tends to be involuntary and unwelcome, e.g., androgenetic alopecia, hair transplant boca. Well, thanks to our advance medical technology nowadays, several hair treatments are now available. Some can prove to be helpful, but can be really expensive, time consuming and is proven to have many side effects eventually. So what’s the best solution available… you could consider hair transplant. It is the process of relocating bald resistant hair follicles from your head to a bald or thinning area. It is safe, and in recent years has become less expensive.  So, guys it’s not yet a hopeless case. Try to learn more about it, anyway, what is there to loose if it could actually mean visible hairs on your head. hair transplant blog.
