1. Drug Spies Piracy is the pharmaceutical industry's dirty little secret; fighting back has become its dirty little war. With the stakes this high, there are no rules, no conventions. But that doesn't mean there haven't been prisoners.

2. Confessions of a Corporate Spy What do you think it means to be an expert in "hard-to-get elicitation"? It means people tell you things. A competitive intelligence consultant discusses things that can help a business--at the expense of another.

3. A Spy in the Jungle

4. The Pizza Plot Schwan's knew that Kraft was going to roll out a new kind of frozen pizza. In order to compete, it needed to find out certain things about its rival. To do that, the company would have to be very sneaky

Interesting statistics

Another about the trump-ster, but more interesting is the statistics on how much and how fast the Latino block of our country is growing. They are going to reshape our country if not already.

We have had some clunkers.......

..... as presidents and presidential candidates, but Trump scares me. He doesn't care about anything but his own opinion, and doesn't think he can be wrong. He will probably do some irreparable damage to the GOP, and so we will probably have another Democratic president.

The Stimulus was a Stop Gap

http://reason.com/archives/2011/07/07/the-stimulus-was-a-success

This is quite a bit old and dated, but was still an interesting find. It shows a different way of looking at the stimulus program for me. The money was not spent in the correct manner due to quirks in various state laws for it to truly be called a stimulus. It seems more to me now, that this was a pure handout to state and local governments  to hold them over for a short time period.

Lots of things to go through about his little dust-up.

1. Get 1 million miles for a bug bounty program.
2. The FBI already took down one researcher.
3. There are some questions about how this researcher did his research.

Siri Data is being shared

Article in the Hacker News, in which Apple admits that it is sharing it's siri data with third parties. Of course this is in the effort of improving these personal assistants, but did you know this was happening? Time to rethink what you might say in front of any device you own, now that we know our TVs and phones are listening to what we say.

Anthem Health Care Breach

I guess we will never really know how sophisticated the attack was, but my guess is it was not very complex. Someone probably got phished, and from their the attacker could move around in the network to find the interesting data.
