Duck, Boss!!

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballamer hid behind a desk, as a man was throwing eggs at him. He was addressing the audience at a university in Hungary. As he asks the group about their final exams, this guy stands up and began asking Ballmer about a deal between Microsoft and the Hungarian government that he claimed is costing Hungarian taxpayers.

The man, then, begins to throw an egg at Ballmer. The crowd laughs, at first, at the spectacle of Ballmer hiding behind a desk. For some reason, once he began throwing the final two volleys, people got upset and started yelling at the man.

One would hope Ballmer would have better security. I wonder why no one was there to get him out of there immediately. It might be time to review Microsoft's executive protection program.

Finally...Some Good news

It looks like the TSA has found something other than actor Dennis Farina's gun. Shemeka Greaves, a TSA officer at O'Hare International Airport, read a newspaper account about Janisia Grant, 8, who had disappeared with her mother a week ago Thursday, the TSA said in a news release.

According to the article, "Greaves checked the security tapes and confirmed that Janisia had been through an airport security checkpoint and boarded a plane to Atlanta with a companion, the TSA said. "

As you might imnagine, Grant's mother does not have custody of the child.

FBI: China Using Bootleg CISCO Router to Infilitrate DOD

This really should come as no surprise, but every day there's a new thing that grabs my attention. The feds have seized over 400 counterfeit Cisco routers worth in the neighborhood of $76 million. I don't how much your firm allocates to competitive intelligence but the Chinese have a slightly larger budget. The FBi believes the routers were being used to penetrate both private and gpublic sector networks. These routers, as you might imagine, would certainly have vulnerabilities and a backdoor these agents could then use to access the networks which were targeted.

Who in government would purchase such routers? According to the article, "Among the purchasers of the fake equipment were the U.S. Naval Academy, U.S. Naval Air Warfare Center, U.S. Naval Undersea Warfare Center, U.S. Air Base at Spangdahelm, Germany, the Bonneville Power Administration, General Services Administration, and the defense contractor Raytheon, which makes key missile and weapons systems." Pretty big fish.....
