It is hard to imagine what life today would be like without the Internet. However, the Internet is bigger than a lot of people think. It is estimated that 2.2 billion people in the world use the Internet. That is approximately one- third of the world’s total population. It is estimated that the World Wide Web contains one trillion pages. That is enough pages to fill up the Empire state building 200,000 times. The Empire State Building has 102 stories and is 1,454 feet tall.
Similar to Mozilla, Facebook is now paying over $500 to anyone who finds vulnerabilities which may compromise personal user data on their website. In order to get paid, you must be the first one to send it, and you need to give time to the Facebook team to fix the problem.

I'm all against hacking and using exploits for personal gain. However, I'd like you to know that there is a FireFox extension called Firesheep that enables you to hack into anyone's Facebook account if you are in an unprotected wireless hotspot. What Firesheep allows you to do is to use cached information that is stored within that wireless hotspot to enable you to access their photos, personal information, etc., but they cannot change your password.
This video from HouseHoldHacker provides more information:
You may not want to use a public wireless hotspot that isn't protected now. Before you stop taking your laptop or iPad out to a local coffee shop, you may want to consider using a MIFI or mobile WIFI device that is protected and uses 3G to connect to the web. It's inexpensive, very mobile and can save you from giving your personal information to a complete stranger.
In the UK you can pick one up from 3 for as little as £70 that includes 3GB of data off contract. In the US, you can pick up a MIFI for $99 on Verizon with a 2 year contract. It may sound expensive but you'll have mobile broadband where ever you are and it's a great deal if you travel a lot.
Stay protected and don't go spreading your information to people you don't know!
Everyone that reads this blog can easily answer the question: What is Technology? But what is MIS? MIS or Management Information Systems is a subset of the overall internal controls of a business covering the application of people, documents, technologies, and procedures by management accountants to solve a business problem such as costing a product, service, or a business-wide strategy according to Wikipedia. In other words, if you take data from a certain product like how much sales it has made and what type of people buy this product, and then convert that data into a prediction for the product.
For example, lets say your business is a sports equipments seller (e.g Dicks Sporting Goods) and the Spalding basketballs are having the highest sales, what would you do? You would use this to your advantage by finding another similar product that are having high sales as well as the same type of people who are buying the Spalding basketballs and make a deal. Lets say air pumps are that similar product. Then you can make a deal saying if you buy 2 basketballs, you get a free air pump. Generally speaking, if you take one popular product and then find another popular one that has a similar aspect, make a deal.
But this is just getting a nibble of MIS. If you liked this post, go ahead and dive in to more as this is a very broad topic.
