Today is not really an happy day. Although I’m fighting to find reason for a good mood is not always easy to smile when you’re still fighting to find a job, the economic situation is not nice and perspective are even worse. What can a 47 guy looking for a position do? They say that if this not kills you make you stronger, wish it is the truth but there are days where you feel as you live in the wrong world. I spent a lot of my life trying to be one of the best in what I do, and…

I have travelled acquisition a lot of times, when mondadori informatica was absorbed by the mother comany mondadori, when brightmail become part of symantec, when symantec acquired veritas software and moved all european management to veritas, and at the end when cisco systems acquired Ironport.

Big company are really suited for security? This is what comes to my mind when we see what Cisco, HP and Co. do when we talk about security. Are they really able to focus on the innovation and development that security require? I can talk about what I know so i will express my mixed feeling about Cisco and Security.

Reading news seems that they’re an unstoppable force of nature… I left my thoughts last time on why internet and why now, and why they’re so (in)famous. So about the first point: why internet?

As the 2010 ended we learned that it was the most prolific years in terms of malware, new malware and botnets. And also we found out that internet browsing has been the most used vehicle to spread infection and attack.Actually seems not to be an astonishing news, ou contraire, but it is interesting to notice that the focus has shifted from OS related threats to application and browsing vulnerability. this allowed malware to attack new surfaces, virtually any operating systems with internet browsing capabilities is subject and can be target of an attack or an infection: pc, smarthphone, tablet, consoles…

The Puchi Herald and The World Wide Wasting Time Foundation proudly present a new worldwide campaign to leverage a green environmental awareness to all internet users. After the Well known campaign “Think before you Print” we realized that the main reason people print emails is just that emails are written. No matter how you tell people to not print, there will always be the moron that needs to print everything just because…. So here the idea: how we save the environment and time? Most of the emails you send around are useless, dangerous, or, even worse, boring. “Think before you…
