In past blogs, I’ve recommended that IT pros increase their (positive) web presence by writing technical articles. This can be done in a personal blog or by writing-for-pay for technical publications.
In light of a recent event that has been making the blogosphere rounds, I feel the need to make you guys aware of one the caveats of writing for money on the web: People will steal your stuff.
Sometimes they’ll steal it without really knowing the concept of plagiarism. They’ll run your piece and retain your byline but on their site and without asking your permission in advance. Basically they’re getting the content someone else paid for, for free. This would be a great business model if it were, oh I don’t know, LEGAL.

5 Ways You Can Block A Facebook Stalker
Facebook is a great platform for networking. You can reconnect with old friends from school or stay in touch with family and friends who live far away. Facebook makes it easy to find and get in touch with people. However, this feature can haunt you when someone you wish you had never met won’t stop messaging and harassing you.

This article will guide you through the options you have. The two final steps can also help to never attract a stalker in the first place.

Samsung Galaxy Tab gets an enterprise assist from Polycom | Tech Sanity Check | TechRepublic.com
The biggest surprise with the Apple iPad has been how quickly the enterprise has warmed up to it. One of the iPad’s newest competitors, the Samsung Galaxy Tab, is an Android tablet that has mostly been portrayed as a consumer tablet for surfing web pages, reading e-books, and watching movies.
However, on Tuesday the Galaxy Tab got a shot in the arm for enterprise adoption when Samsung announced a partnership with Polycom to embed Polycom’s voice and video communications technology into the Galaxy Tab. It will be implemented as a Polycom app that will allow the Galaxy Tab to connect to the Polycom video conferencing systems that are widespread across many big companies. The app will also connect to other third party telepresence and video conferencing platforms that use industry standard protocols.
