Crime

No Good Deed of Self Preservation Goes Unpunished.

So, a student removes a wheel lock from his car so he can get home; delivers the wheel lock, ticket, and money for the fine to the facility that installed it [apparently, perhaps I am wrong about that part] and guess what; he gets charged with terroristic mischief and possession of stolen property. No, really, [...]

French Parliament, Photoshop, and RealityHacker.com

If you’ve spent any time watching Science Fiction movies, you know that the reality we exist in, is limited to only that which we experience and observe. So, we have the French who are becoming somewhat American in their anger over ’shopped’ images, including civil penalties if a warning footer is not attached to an [...]

Project Indect could be the most Orwellian sounding project yet.

So, in an effort to out do the MIT team, it seems the EU has put together Project Indect. The more I read about this, the more intriguing it becomes. Tying it to the DNA database in the UK, full time monitoring of the entire society for abnormal behavior… we are on the cusp of [...]

Renter Sued for Libel due to Twitter Post

In what is going to be a great example of The Streisand Effect, the Horizon Group Management LLC is suing a former renter of a property managed by the organization. With the somewhat dubious proclamation of “We’re a ’sue first, ask questions later’ kind of an organization,” they come across as an organization out to [...]

Loyola Professor gets death threats due to how well he played…

Since my original intent of this blog was to discuss technology, business, and the interaction of ethics within both, I have been looking around for less-than-average issues of such. I found one today when I read an article called;
‘City of Heroes’ character ‘Twixt’ becomes game’s most hated outcast courtesy of Loyola professor by Ramon Antonio [...]

iPhone App Data Security & PageOnce

As a recent iPhone purchaser, and consumer of security technologies [Software firewall, Hardware firewall, Antivirus, VPN, TOR, anti-spam, creator of anti-spam mail server, and so on with their various security levels], I have one key ability that I don’t seem to have with my iPhone unless it is communicating with my WiFi : Monitoring Packets.
You [...]

HATCHideas.org – A think tank.

HATCHideas.org is a project in development. I’m going to be asking various people to join a think tank and offer solutions to the problems that we all face today. Nothing is too big, or too small, for discussion. If you are interested, contact me and we’ll talk about it.

OculiSecurity.com – a home surveillance company with a twist.

I’m doing some research right now, but I purchased the domain and will update this site when OS launches. If the market research shows that its model will create a solid business, it will launch the beginning of 2010, or late 2009.

ARGUS-IS : The one that got away.

Back in 2001, and earlier as a less pursued thought experiment, I started researching a project I named Overseer. That particular project, because I don’t have TOP-SECRET clearance [and every project that requires military equipment also requires higher levels of clearance] never went very far. I simply don’t have the resources to make things happen [...]

Nationalized Bad Debts to Offbook Accounts and Banks?

Isn’t the moving of bad assets off books, or into a holding company the same thing that Enron did until it collapsed under its own weight of illegality? The maze of shadow companies that eventually came to light showed the insolvency of Enron which led to the biggest bankruptcy in American history. Now, we’re planning [...]

So, perhaps it isn’t just a declining economy.

I thought it was interesting that there was such fear, uncertainty, and doubt as to the economy and the future. Then I found this (On YouTube); on C-Span regarding the House Economic Stimulus Proposal. It was interesting to listen to this until 2 minutes and 10 seconds into the segment. The person speaking is Rep. [...]

Google Latitude; be wary of your presence.

I love Google. The search results at Google trump Live everytime I do a search. But Google Latitude is just too much information, at least they allow you to opt-in. Latitude, according to The Official Google Blog, lets you notify others of your location via your mobile phone. And even gives examples such as “notice [...]

Photographing Police now a Chargeable offense in the UK.

The British Journal of Photography has an article about a new law that came into light recently that augments the Counter Terrorism Act of 2008 in the UK. It makes it possible to charge a photographer with taking pictures of armed forces, including police officers because the photographs can be used by terrorists to plan [...]

Why is the idea of ethics such a humorous concept?

I suppose it could be nervous laughter, or perhaps the knowing in the deep recesses of ones psyche; that Ethics, and their impact on doing business is needed. Today, I told a Professor that I wanted to get my Ph.D. in business to teach ethics, research it, and create policy as well as endorse its [...]

This is the exact reason why the economy is in trouble…

As a person who realizes the value of ethical business practices, I find myself troubled by the thought patterns of one Scott Merrill who has decided to take it upon himself to become the arbiter of justice served.
You see, Mr. Merrill has declared that those who would turn in someone for stealing software, a snitch. [...]
