Teaching kids how to curate information and discern what's trustworthy from what's bogus is a really important lesson for parents nowadays.
So it’s time to learn the art of curating the terabytes of content humans are bombarded with on a regular basis – it’s a survival skill and one that will provide an incredibly important advantage to kids in schools and the workplace of the future.
I am still surprised by the number of people who believe that Leadership and Management are essentially the same. They most certainly are not. This is pretty general but I believe that if you are d...

Apple users who think they're immune to malware and other bugs need to pay attention: A new Trojan is infecting Apple computers in order to obtain victims' phone numbers and rob them via unexpected premium SMS charges.
The Trojan, which masks itself as downloadable software, presents victims with a legitimate-looking installation wizard that asks for their phone number in order to verify or authenticate the install.
Attackers are targeting a third-party extension in sites powered by Joomla to redirect visitors to malicious sites. WordPress sites are also being compromised, according to reports.
The danger of Third Party Applications, when NOT UPDATED, is not yet known by most people! I suggest to my readers to read my FREE courses to be aware and to update their knowledge base:

Time for Apple users to heed a lesson Windows users have long learned the hard way: Don’t hand out your cell phone number to untrusted applications downloaded from the Web.
On Tuesday, Russian antivirus firm Doctor Web reported the appearance of a new strain of Mac-focused malware that queries users for their cellphone number when they try to install a piece of legitimate software. If the user enters a phone number, he or she receives a text message asking for a reply with a registration code. Responding implicitly signs up the user for a series of recurring mobile charges to their carrier’s account.
Teaching students to think critically has long been a goal of education. Some, like the authors of the article highlighted here, think it’s a goal whose importance has increased.
A quick look at how I use Twitter for writing prompts. I thought this was going to be another project gone bad! To my surprise since teens love texting, they also loved micro-blogging!

As 2012 draws to an end, it's fair to say it's been a very busy year for cybercriminals! So what have we learnt from the past year and what do we need to be wary of in 2013 to ensure that both our data and our wallet remain protected?
Despite common beliefs, one thing we have learnt in 2012 is that Apple definitely isn't immune from malware. Over the past year we have seen a significant rise in the number of attacks targeting MacOS X computers - the most notable being the "Flashfake/Flashback" Trojan.
Appearing late in 2011, the Trojan became really popular in 2012 with estimations that it infected nearly 700,000 Macs, making it the biggest MacOS X infection to-date. Exploiting a vulnerability in Java, the malware occurs when victims visit infected websites, allowing the Trojan to be downloaded directly onto their computers. Infected users can then have their computers watched and controlled remotely by hackers, leaving them vulnerable to data theft and fraud.
It's no surprise that Macs have become key targets for attack. Apple products are popular with many influential politicians and prominent businessmen; therefore the information stored on these devices is particularly sensitive and valuable to cybercriminals.
Hence, let me advance a tiny thesis: I believe that every kind of institution — business or otherwise — today carries not just a social responsibility, but an existential responsibility. A responsibility not just to society — but to life itself; and further, to the art of living. An obligation to elevate what's worthy, good, and true in every life; a duty not just to "serve" people as "consumers", but to better people as humans; a calling not merely to "deliver" — but to matter.
