…is what Twitter is. And it fits very well the egocentric nature of most security dudes (el hackerz), and therefore they are all on Twitter, twittering their way out of the rat race. The only problem I see with micro blogging platforms, such as Twitter, is that there is almost no value whatsoever from your contributions but a bunch of meaningless messages – a history of someone’s no so interesting life.

Don’t get me wrong. Twitter is a good social/communication tool. [...]

It’s a Wonderful Internet is an interactive holiday story. It puts you in the spirit of the upcoming Christmas feasts.

Go check the website! You won’t be disappointed, I promise.

This video is pretty amazing. The funny thing is that the technology is not even new.

The technology of tomorrow is developed today.

The economy is going down. The market is crashing. Just a week ago it reached a new low. If you are into spread betting then you’ve probably made a killer. However, what is it that caused everything to go the direction it is going today? Watch the video bellow:

It is funny. Sadly, it is true! And at the end of the day those that will pay the price will always be the tax payers.
