WikiLeaks Is a Criminal Trafficker, Not a ‘Whistleblower’ | Blogs | ITBusinessEdge.com
When most of us think of whistleblowers, we think of people who are able to summon the courage and strength of character to publicize some wrongdoing that takes place within the organization that sustains them, often at the risk of retribution or personal loss. What WikiLeaks does is on the opposite end of the gallantry spectrum. It's as cowardly as it is criminal. Read more

The five most overhyped tech products of 2010 | Tech Sanity Check | TechRepublic.com
The pace of innovation in the technology industry quickened again in 2010, after stumbling momentarily in 2009 because of the global recession. The most potent sign of the rebound was the steady stream of new products, new technologies, and new ideas that pushed the previous boundaries and rethought the status quo.
Of course, innovation means taking risks and some of them — including some the most widely publicized — turn out to duds. And, even some of the most successful new products get overhyped and oversold.
That’s the subject of this week’s Monday morning editorial: the most overhyped products of 2010. Here’s my list.

U.S. Seizes Sites Linked to Copyright Infringement | thedailybrainstorm.com
By Xeno
Steven Musil – The U.S. government has launched a major crackdown on online copyright infringement, seizing dozens of sites linked to illegal file sharing and counterfeit goods.
Torrent sites that link to illegal copies of music and movie files and sites that sell counterfeit goods were seized this week by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement division of the Department of Homeland Security. Visitors to such sites as Torrent-finder.com, 2009jerseys.com, and Dvdcollects.com found that their usual sites had been replaced by a message that said, “This domain name has been seized by ICE–Homeland Security Investigations, pursuant to a seizure warrant issued by a United States District Court.”

"Passion--it's the driving force that you just can't ignore. It's what will make your new adventure seem more like fun, than work. It's the difference between wanting to start a business and craving it." ~Mac Anderson http://bit.ly/ikpoLP
Great poem to start a Monday! With special thanks to @iOasis YES YOU CAN!
YES YOU CAN!
If you think you are beaten, you are,
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you like to win, but you think you can't,
It is almost certain you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost,
For out in the world we find,
Success begins with a fellow's will.
It's all in the state of mind.
If you think you are outclassed, you are,
You've got to think high to rise,
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man.
But soon or late the man who wins,
Is the man who thinks he can.
BELIEVE really BELIEVE!
