Malware Fear: Are Security Companies Manipulating or Highlighting the Truth?

Some thoughts I've been thinking lately:
Malware Fear: Are Security Companies Manipulating or Highlighting the Truth?

Choose to be happy

Happiness is a choice. Why choose to murmur and be unhappy? Forget not to be be happy now.

Anybody can be a critic.

"In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations, the new needs friends... Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere." - Brad Bird (via Anton Ego)

We have the freedom to choose. Do you want to choose to be the bitter critic or the inspiring artist?

A quick note about Flame

Maybe you've heard about the Flame malware in the news lately and how it evades all known antivirus. Turns out that Bit9's Parity software stops it. Nice to work for a company with such a great product. More information to come on Monday!
