Tech Tip of the Week

New Research show that Cell Phones can damage your eyes over time and that this damage never heals.

When energy impinges on body tissue, in this case the lens of the eye, part of it is absorbed and converted to heat due to ionic conduction. This heat manifests itself as a temperature increase inside the tissue. Even a slight increase in the temperature close to the lens (as low as 3 degrees Celsius) increases the risk of developing a cateract. But that is not the worst part, when the SA or Specific Energy Absorption of the electromagnetic radiation was measured to determine the total energy absorbed it was found that absorbtion of these waves caused microscopic damage in the form of "tiny bubbles" on the lens surface. The researchers speculate that the mechanism responsible is microscopic friction between particular cells that have been exposed to electromagnetic radiation. The worst part is that this damage did not show any signs of healing and continued to accumulate throughout the experiment.

For now, we should all use hands free headsets when we use our phones -- and just be careful and aware.

Security Tips of the Week

Yes, this week there are multiple -- it been a big week in security news.

Spam, Worms, and Spyware Flourish this quarter.

While most businesses consider data security a top priority, a report issued on July 25 said that no relief is in sight. New security vulnerabilities are 20% higher this quarter than this time last year and that they have not been controlled by patches. Most of these are allowing computers to be taken over by a remote, unauthorized user.

What to do now? Get an analysis of your network so that you know where your vulnerabilities are. This analysis must be done by a reputable software engineering firm. It must include a detailed printed report on what they found and they must be willing discuss how you can go about resolving these vulnerabilities. This is not a simple scan of your network but a detailed review of your network operations.

The ultimate solution is better software engineering -- a 10-20 year wait.
