What the Sony breach means for security in 2015 The recent (and perhaps ongoing) Sony breach was certainly one of the worst corporate data breaches we have seen to date. As 2014 draws to a close, no one knows the details with certainty of who the perpetrator was. Even so, it’s undeniable that it’s a breach that will forever change the way Sony does business. [ Questions remain after FBI charges North Korea with attack on Sony Pictures ] As the year of information security ends in 2014, what does the Sony breach tell us about what will happen in 2015? This was yet another wake-up call – but many will still sleep through it. What does this mean for 2015? If the Farmer's Almanac did data breach predictions; then it would certainly forecast 2015 as a devastating year.

5 Creepy Forms of Mind Control You're Exposed to Daily One of our favorite subjects is the way marketers can use psychology to manipulate you into doing what they want (we don't think "brainwashing" is too strong a word). We know what you're thinking: You're far too cynical to fall for the ads you fast forward through on your DVR or the little tricks employed by marketers and politicians to push your subconscious buttons. But are you sure? Because science has found ... #5. Getty Remember when Neo got to choose between the red pill and the blue pill? "I really hope being swallowed by a mirror is covered by my insurance." What? Did you notice how the red pill would let Neo "wake up" to the real world, but the blue pill would let him stay "asleep" in the dream world? Blue, blue and blue -- if not the package, then the pill itself. What the hell? So, in a different experiment, subjects were told they were going to get a sedative or a stimulant, when in fact they were getting neither -- all of the pills were placebos. Wait, it gets even stupider.
MIT Technology Review Expectations of an Angel Investor If you are considering using an angel investor to help fund the initial expenses of your new business, you need to know what an angel investor expects to get out of the deal. After all, you cannot expect to use the investor's money for free, can you? There are certain aspects of the business deal that most investors expect to see happen, which lead to profit on their end. Since angel investors are all individuals, they have differing views as to what to expect to receive out of the deal. However, most angel investors want to have a seat on the board of the new company. Also, many wish to have a role as a consultant for the company. No matter whom you have as your angel investor, you can expect to be asked to provide the angel with excellent communication about the progress of the business. All angels will want to own part of the business. Angels that are particularly impressed with a potential business investment often ask to be the first choice when more financing is needed.

11 Best Bitcoin Mining Software 2018 (Mac, Windows, Linux) Now that you already know about the best Bitcoin mining hardware, we’re going to talk about Bitcoin mining software. What is Bitcoin Mining Software? Bitcoin mining hardware handles the actual Bitcoin mining process, but: Bitcoin mining software is equally as important. If you are a solo miner: the mining software connects your Bitcoin miner to the blockchain.

Neuroscience For Kids - stroop effect The famous "Stroop Effect" is named after J. Ridley Stroop who discovered this strange phenomenon in the 1930s. Here is your job: name the colors of the following words. Do NOT read the words...rather, say the color of the words. Try this Interactive Stroop Effect Experiment. [Run Experiment] Also available: print out Stroop Test Mini Cards. Why? The words themselves have a strong influence over your ability to say the color. Speed of Processing Theory: the interference occurs because words are read faster than colors are named.Selective Attention Theory: the interference occurs because naming colors requires more attention than reading words. I think that this puzzle would be easier for a very young child than for older children or adults. My scores: Test #1 = 10.1 seconds; Test #2 = 22.4 seconds It took me more than TWICE the amount of time to read the "confusing" words. There is some evidence that the anterior cingulate area is active in people during the Stroop effect.

Overcoming the Fear of Who We Are and Finding Our Most Magnetic Qualities Who we really are is sometimes one of those most terrifying things for us to come to terms with. In fact sometimes when we look back at our lives, we realize we’ve done just about everything in an effort to have people who approve of us. Yet, what’s strange is that this has the opposite effect. If anything, going down that route makes us really fake. Fear of what people will think of the “real you” is something that can be hard to accept. After all, what if somebody doesn’t like the “real you.” In college I went through a phase where I decided to experiment with not giving a shi#$3 what anybody thought. Charisma is an interesting thing. How we Lose Our Charisma Critics: Critics always emerge no matter what you are doing. Social Programming: Social programming is perhaps one of the most detrimental mind viruses in our society. Imperfection: A while back I wrote about the difference between success and perfection.
