The Best Breakdown of What Happened to HBGary

http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/02/how-one-security-firm-tracked-anonymousand-paid-a-heavy-price.ars

Many of the documents linked or screen captured in this article i have read prior to seeing them in this so i can vouch for the authenticity of them.  Also note that HBGary and Bank of America have tried to claim that some of the documents are faked you should take into account that the other two Firms have made official apologises.  Which guarantees that the data is not faked in a bit and it is just HBGary and Bank of America going into damage control, makes you wonder what are in those Wikileaks files that has Bank of America scared so shit less.

Patriot Act Extended

Recently the Patriot Act has been extended, and some even asking to make it permanent.  As court cases have shown in the past that this act is entirely unconstitutional and pokes holes in 6 of the Bill of Rights.  But one thing that i did notice over the last few weeks is the Government advising everyone through the media that the US Terror Threat Level is at the highest it has been since 9/11.  Seems to me as this is some classic scare tactics to convince people that this extension of this unconstitutional act is for their own good.  I am sure later on it will be claimed that because it was extended it kept everyone safe, and i am not entirely sure that it has kept us safe for the almost past 10 years.  Seems that the recent statement by the FBI conducted searches of 40 individuals in its investigation of Anonymous's Internet sit-ins of corporate websites.  Many make the argument of "If you have nothing to hide then this doesn't hurt you".  But to m...

MBArainrot: The Credential That Trains You to Speak PowerPoint

MBArainrot: The Credential That Trains You to Speak PowerPoint The MBA used to be marketed as a passport to greatness. Pay a six-figure tuition bill, endure two years of jargon seminars, and you too could join the ranks of “leaders of tomorrow.” What it actually delivers is MBArainrot , a kind of corporate brain infection where creativity dies, buzzwords multiply, and people convince themselves that slide decks are strategy. The Sacred Case Study The beating heart of the MBA is the case study, which is basically adult fanfiction for executives. Students sit around dissecting “what Jeff Bezos should have done in 1999,” as if they are one clever sentence away from unlocking the secret to Amazon. Spoiler: the secret was luck, timing, and ruthless logistics, not a color-coded SWOT chart. Frameworks for Everything, Solutions for Nothing MBAs love frameworks the way toddlers love Legos. Porter’s Five Forces, BCG matrices, Lean Six Sigma you name it, they’ll slap it on a problem until the pro...
