The 1st link is Sony Network got hacked, the 2nd link is China is being implicated in hacking SMB bank accounts and the 3rd was 2 girls hacking another girls account and posting sexual offers from her facebook. Ironically some of the best anti-hackers are in turn the best hackers. It follows along the line of how to beat a thief is to think like a thief. So more than likely the people involved with theese incidents will be working for the government one day.

Lindsay, Bridget, Kyle- Royal Wedding Tech
ReplyDeleteThe royal wedding will be the first to be available on iTunes, these advances will allow us to be there without being on the guest list with apps for smartphones, twitter updates throughout the wedding, the actual wedding will be streamed on youtube, and messages can be sent to your phones. These advances remove the secrecy around the wedding.

Due to the increase in sales of technological devices the stocks and sales of companies have increased. Advanced Micro Devices is one such company where they have seen a 25% increase in just a couple days. This stock would be a great option for someone to invest in.
