For those of you that aren’t basketball fans, let me give you a quick overview of the match up between the Celtics and the Lakers. The Lakers were favored going into the series. Their team is built around a player, Kobe Bryant, that is generally thought to be the best individual player on the planet. [...]
As a Sales and Marketing Executive, I am constantly bombarded by email and offers from companies who want to “make my world better.” To be honest, it is nice to be the customer once and awhile. Recently, I received a pricing strategy document that, while a solicitation to consult with our company, was a great [...]
I’ve been a die-hard Celtics fan for a long time. I followed them religiously when they were horrible from the early 90’s until last year. This year has finally been a year where I can actually root for them to win (in years past I wanted them to lose to get a better draft position) [...]
I’m not an expert in law enforcement or military intelligence, but I have heard that the biggest issues making it difficult to share information are both cultural and organizational. Many of those organizations are designed not to share information. Protecting information, especially in those environments is often part of what makes the information valuable. However, [...]
That’s what Detektor – SecurityWorldHotel.com called the Martin Gren, one of the co-founders of Axis communications in their recent interview.

That was a really funny line coined by Milo Medin during the OSI/ IETF wars of the late ‘80s. Back then I was a naïve software developer who had been volunteered to run the OSI area of the IETF. Talk about walking into a buzz saw. See, the problem was that the IETF, the standards [...]
Managed Video as a Service goes beyond loss prevention and security, with applications that help business operators identify and leverage best practices that they “catch” on video. Not only can the operator see these activities, but, using the power of search and the Internet, they can share these incidents with their entire organization. Employees learn in [...]
I have a confession. For a while now, we’ve told our kids that there are video cameras in the house, so when they have an irreconcilable argument, we tell them we’ll review the video to find the real truth. Kind of a modern-day twist on “wait ‘til your father gets home.” At first, our threats [...]
Abraham Maslow, an American Psychologist, developed a landmark theory on human motivation. Dubbed Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, the theory describes the paradigm that controls human motivations. In summary, people are motivated according to a hierarchy, which stretches from the most basic (psysiological needs/eating, breathing, etc.) to the most complex (self-actualization/morality, creativity, etc.). Prior to focusing [...]
