" .... CIOs should buckle up and brace themselves for a future .... "
Brace alright ... the onslaught of costs to defend your systems, viruses/troyans/malware interrupting work-flow, costs of looking after people cause they cant connect although you have given them a fool proof set of instructions, stealing of IP ... you name it its all there for the taking.
I have a wifi, but that sits in front of the firewall (as in the internet site) so they can connect there laptops but they need to use the VPN and the phones can use it too.

Tomorrow or the next life whichever comes first we never know.

One of the more interesting polls (including reading all of the comments) I have seen for a while ... Thank you so much to the one who had the idea!!!

it will be fine ... but I already see more and more that my Internet connection is much faster than the supply of data that comes towards my connection (12mbs).

For goodness sake, the word "copy cat" would not even exist ..... everywhere you look its happening!
Just because its a game and the game is about violence its bad. WTF?
Humans are copy machines, it is a well known fact (evolution works that way).

One of my doggies was running around like crazy on XMAS day, rubbing her bum along the floor ... licking her bum like mad ... so I checked it out ... pulled up her tail and there it was 5cm of worm sticking out ... ran to the toilet, picked up a toilet and 20s of pulling later I had a 35cm worm lying on the floor boards ... Moral of the story: Dogs need virus/worm protection too and the next day there were two tablets going down her throat.

of course it still a problem, especially if you read what happened to me this morning....
Our sales directors computer (dell) has real trouble accessing the net (very very slow) whenever he tethers his laptop with his Galaxy S. I have the same laptop and phone but use Fedora14 and tethering gives me real good speed (considering) .... his is Win7 using Trend Micro (included when buying the dell) . When I turn Trend Micro off it performs well, loads the web-pages at the same speed as mine does.

So there would be no surprise to me if a lot of machine run without virus/internet security because those machine become a real hog/snail/whatever .... so users cant be bothered!

Television, PS3, computer to play games (2 cores), topfield7100, my girlfriend's laptop (2 cores), my lappy (2 cores), wifi and two Androids!

Almighty US Dollar ... you're kidding, right?
Its been overtaken by our miserable currency ... and the only thing that almighty in our country are the crocks up in Darwin ;-)

Things that came to mind:

1. It will show us what a lot of us already know, we're fucking up the place.

2. It would be more sufficient to actually do sth. about stopping stuffing up the place instead of thinking about stopping the stuffing up and collecting data about what we are actually stuffing up so we can stop stuffing up the place.

3. make a cup of tea and have a minced pie, after all its xmas.

Sorry, this ain't News. Whoever thinks this is news should have probably read the news a few weeks/months/years back. The reaction of the bank is completely expected. Yawn!
