Free iPhone rogue applications run riot on Facebook | Graham Cluley's blog

Facebook has been deluged with messages claiming that users have received free iPhones, and inviting others to participate in a scheme to receive a free Apple smartphone for themselves. However, the truth is rather more sinister - as rogue applications trick users into giving them access to social networking accounts.

What Goes Into a Small Product Launch | Change your thoughts

The process of a product launch: Today I thought it would be a good idea to show you what goes into a product launch. How to Become an Advanced Early Riser will be launched on the 13th October 2010 and here’s the story behind this, it’s exhausting, but the buzz and stress (eustress that is :) ) that I get from this is amazing.

Running on Empty | in over your head

Running on Empty



When you are building up an asset, you’re either spending time or cash.



Renovating a house requires either your handiwork or someone else’s. Getting a charity off the ground requires legwork or funding. Often a combination of both is required. Sometimes you have more of one than the other, or you have no choice which to use.



But somewhere along the lines of industry, digital, and social, things broke down.



You can pay someone to tweet for you, but consistent participation is expensive and doesn’t work very well if it’s outsourced. Being clever is hard (impossible?) to pay for, but personality plays such an important role that often, it’s best just to do it yourself. You can’t pay to keep passion going, either; instead, it often gets snuffed out just as you’re trying to encourage it by paying for it.



Now, the web might be one of the only places where spending time trumps money. If you don’t care, you’ll drop out. If you get paid, you’ll phone it in. The only thing that will make the grade is to really care about it– only if it’s your ass on the line will you really be able to put in the time. It’s the only reason you’ll care enough to compete.



If it’s just a job, others will out-sweat you. And sweat is what built the web.



10 years ago, the web was expensive, or complex, to work on. Now, infrastructure is in place, so it’s easy. The only remaining factor, the one that can’t be bought or commoditized, is the human one.



Robots will get faster. Information will get faster. But human will stay human. That is why you must put your effort there.



I could be wrong, but don’t bet on it.

The explosion of mobile device usage in business has led to some tricky and unexpected support challenges. Brien Posey lists some of the concerns IT pros should be aware of.

12 Hot New Tablets Hitting the Market | ITBusinessEdge.com

It's no surprise that the iPad is finding support in the enterprise. It’s Apple and it’s cool. At a higher level, though, it’s worth comparing the fast adoption of the new tablet with the slower and tentative acceptance of the iPhone when it was introduced three years ago. The difference says as much about the coalescing of consumer and business wireless as the quality of the devices themselves.



Clearly, however, the market is expanding at a brisk pace with many new competitive tablets being introduced to the public. This slideshow highlights 12 of the newest tablet devices, in no special order.

The Short Lifespan of a Tweet: Retweets Only Happen Within the First Hour

For some, Twitter is a social network and for others it is just a broadcast medium. Judging from the latest data from social media analytics and monitoring service Sysomos, for the majority of users, Twitter is indeed mostly a broadcast medium. After analyzing over 1.2 billion tweets, the Sysomos team found that only 29% of tweets actually produce a reaction - that is, a reply or a retweet. According to Sysomos, just 6% of all tweets are retweeted and these retweets have a very short lifespan. Virtually all retweets happen within the first hour after the original tweet.
