Most businesses have a data management strategy. And another. And another. One for every application: ERP, CRM, SCM, HRM, etc. The result is a proliferation of siloed, disjointed data that gets in the way of smart decisions. An Information Agenda from IBM moves you from an application-centric approach to your information toward a more holistic view of your information systems. So you can make use of your data to make decisions faster and with greater confidence – helping you optimize processes, predict market changes and act on new opportunities. Banks can better manage financial risk. Retail companies can spot trends. Manufacturing companies can speed delivery across a complex supply chain. So information works for us, instead of vice versa.

Summary: A former Microsoft employee has been charged with passing on Microsoft trade secrets involving Windows 8. By Mary Jo Foley for All About Microsoft | March 19, 2014 -- 22:37 GMT (15:37 PDT) Alex Kibkalo, a former senior architect at Microsoft who most recently served as a Director of Product Management in 5nine Software (according to his LinkedIn profile (http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=64303478) ), has been arrested for allegedly stealing Windows-related trade secrets while working for Microsoft.

  • Win 7 Life Cycle
    Microsoft Windows 7 support and sales cutoff dates worth kno... Page 1 of 10 Microsoft Windows 7 support and sales cutoff dates worth knowing Summary: Don't worry, though, Windows 7 fans: There's still another year until PC makers won't be allowed to sell new machines with Windows 7 preloaded. By Mary Jo Foley for All About Microsoft | December 6, 2013 -- 14:40 GMT (06:40 PST) The long, slow march toward end-of-life of Microsoft's currently most popular operating system is underway. As of October 30, 2013, Microsoft ceased selling boxed copies of Windows 7 at retail. (ZDNet's Ed Bott posted back in April of this year about the pending October 30 cut-off date (http://www.zdnet.com/where-can-you-find-a-pc- running-windows-7-7000013418/) , but a few stories have popped up this week about it, so this is just a reminder.) This October 30 cut-off date doesn't mean that OEMs or retailers are no longer selling PCs with Windows 7 preloaded. I can verify after a trip earlier this week to the Datavision computer store in New York (as part of my ongoing hunt for a new Windows PC) that there are plenty of Windows 7 PCs still for sale. OEMs can continue to sell PCs preloaded with Windows 7 until October 30, 2014 (http://windows.microsoft.com/en- US/windows/products/lifecycle) . Microsoft's explanation of what these dates mean, via its Windows Lifecycle Support Pag (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/lifecycle) e: "Note that when the retail software product reaches its end of sales date, it can still be purchased through OEMs (the company that made your PC) until it reaches the end of sales date for PCs with Windows preinstalled." Mainstream (free, Microsoft-provided) support for Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 installed isn't until January 13, 2015 (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/lifecycle) .

  • The Future of Windows
    The Future of Windows Michael Shalkey Channel Islands PC Users Group Camarillo, California The bottom line question is “What do you need to do to get ready for the coming changes?” and the answer is nothing. The kernel of the idea of this presentation was discussion by veteran Microsoft journalists and authors Paul Thurrott and Mary Jo Foley during the podcast Windows Weekly about the announcement of the Edge browser giving up the Microsoft rendering engine for the Chromium engine and the ramifications of that to PC computing. With the opening of Microsoft’s browser to all Chrome extensions there will finally be a unification of extensions between the 3 major browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft’s Edge (successor to Internet Explorer). More on that later. A platform like Windows is only as good as programs that run on it and if no programs will run on it, it’s useless. How programs work today is different than how they worked 30 years ago. Few computers are coming with CD drives and none have floppy drives. Many companies are moving away from the idea of installing a program on your computer and instead want you to use their program “in the cloud” from their websites (and charge you by the month for the privilege). This gives them the advantage of regular recurring revenue which makes their stock holders and Wall Street happy How companies make their money is a good indication of what they may plan to do in the future. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To help in understanding my future predictions, let’s start with the past and the history of how we got to where we are today.

  • TLS Confusion Attacks
    Security Now! Transcript of Episode #823 Page 1 of 40 Transcript of Episode #823 TLS Confusion Attacks Description: This week we're going to start by looking at a moment-by-moment reconstruction of a recent Chrome browser attack-and-patch battle. Then we're going to recap last week's industry-wide June patch fest, followed by looking at TikTok's controversial but unsurprising privacy policy update. We need to also cover the wonderful spy novel-ish ANOM sting operation which lowered the boom on as many as 800 criminals. For our happily infrequent Errata section we'll challenge an apparently erroneous statement I made last week. I want to share an interesting laptop data recovery experience which BitLocker made much more complex a few weeks ago which I think our listeners will find interesting. Then we're going to tackle this week's topic of some very troubling research which again demonstrates just how difficult it is to design robustly secure networked systems.
