	Day 3

	
		It's the interface; it just preforms so smoothly with absolutely no hesitation, and all of the little animations&nbsp; that are built in are really impressive. I never had any complaints about the Xoom, but the iPad just screams.
	
		Apparently there's no way to access my Gmail contacts from my iPad… although there are iPhone apps to sync them to the local contacts
	
		I was force to pay for my first app… IMHO one of Apple's significant contributions to society: training...<br />

	Day 2

	
		I really miss the Amazon free app of the day… Android only
	
		Widgets and notifications… I've gotten very used to being able to see new emails, the weather, etc. at a glance and get a preview when new emails come in. If there's a anything that brings me back to the Xoom, it will be this functionality…
	
		Seriously? No electronics store in the mall has an power/data cable over 4 ft long? Oh, but there's a power cable adaptor to the USB power brick that's 6 ft...<br />

	As an admitted Android fan who purchased a Motorola Xoom Android tablet the day it was released, and I was surprised by receiving a new iPad 2 for the holidays. Being what I consider to be a fair individual, I’m giving it a try and will compare and contrast…

	Day 1, first impressions:

	
		The iPad seems a little lighter than the Xoom, although I don’t have a case for it yet
	
		Very impressed by the responsiveness, slick!
	
		Despite the instructions from Verizon; thankfully I...<br />

         <description><![CDATA[Scareware is the latest type of malware (MALicious softWARE) labeled by the media, not my poor sense of style. These are nasty little messages try to frighten you into browsing infected websites, installing infected software, and even giving up your credit card numbers. We have discussed this type of malware before, but since we are seeing an upswing in it recently, we thought we'd touch on it again. 
As our computers become more resilient to traditional methods of infection, we have seen an...<br />

         <description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago, it was reported that one of our local school districts was the victim of a security breach. This breach resulted in wire transfers totaling almost $3 million from their bank accounts to various foreign banks; reportedly 20% of the school's annual budget. While the school district has recovered most of the funds, and is working with the FBI and the State Police to recover the rest, this incident brings home the pressing need for Information Security in today's environment....<br />

         <description><![CDATA[With the new year, it's time to get back to basics and review some key concepts in the security field. One term we often bandy about is "defense in depth" as a means to secure your information and it has nothing to do with deep sea warfare.
The term is taken from military parlance and can be traced back to&#160;ancient times as a way to increase the survival of whatever it is you're protecting. By placing your king, or gold, or big rock, or sensitive information within multiple layers of...<br />

         <description><![CDATA[As the year winds to a close, thoughts are turning to the coming holidays: turkey, pies, snow shoveling, and perhaps a new budget. So how exactly does one plan for the unexpected, or budget for disasters?
By definition disasters are very bad: bad enough that we should be insured against them. Assuming that we are insured against most disasters, we're going to downgrade this discussion to mere emergencies. Specifically, we'll be focusing on those nasty little incidents that fall into that gray...<br />

         <description><![CDATA[Virtualization has become a force to be reckoned with for organizations of all sizes and shapes. The flexibility and consolidation options available in virtualized environments give this technology an unusual distinction: it appeals to both the engineers and the accountants. But as with any new technology, virtualization does bring new security considerations.
Virtualization allows a "host computer" to run multiple "virtual computers" as applications, with all of them sharing the same physical...<br />

         <description><![CDATA[As cloud computing becomes more commonplace and vital to our operations, it's imperative to keep in mind the security implications of running your business from “the cloud". Moving expensive and hard to maintain programs to the cloud&#160;can be an attractive&#160; alternative to large one time investments in hardware and software. However, we need to be very aware of how this move affects our information's security. Specifically, we will be focusing on our information's availability in the...<br />

         <description><![CDATA[
One aspect often overlooked when securing our information is physical security. The goal of physical security is to control who can walk up to the information and touch it. The idea is to prevent unwanted information disclosure, loss, or corruption, the same as when securing the information across the network or from the internet. The difference is that physical security deals with the “real world".
For most of us, this doesn't mean training your Chihuahua as an attack dog or outfitting your...<br />

         <description><![CDATA[Microsoft reported a new "zero-day exploit" that affects most versions of the Internet Explorer browser. A zero-day exploit is a security vulnerability that is being exploited before the software vendor or public know that the issue exists. This particular exploit attacks flaws within Internet Explorer that can cause it to “exit unexpectedly, in a state that is exploitable”- in English: the attacker can take control of the computer.
Microsoft has documented security breaches with Internet...<br />

         <description><![CDATA[We've seen a rash of NDR (non-Delivery Response) floods happening to our clients. In all cases, it appears that the spam being NDRed is spoofed, but we are receiving reports from these users that they are being black listed on spam filters.

Is anyone else seeing this problem?

Thanks,

This site&#160;is&#160;geared towards security... however I make no promises about the security of the site itself. The hosting company (webnode.com)&#160;has the 2 things I am initially looking for: the right price (free) and decent page building...<br />
