INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Information technology is the study of and use of computers and related systems for storing and using electronic information.
Some people are worried these days that the information society makes it more difficult for us to protect our privacy.
The BBC website asked its visitors: Do you think that your data is safe online or are you concerned about this too?
Here are a few answers from different parts of the world:

I'll only talk about my own experience: I had used my real name on the internet, and my age, city and other information on my profiles were true. I also had use only one username on different sites. Once a contact on my msn searched my username on Google, then he knew my real name, address, phone number, posts on forums, blogs and other things. He told me about it, and warned me. It was when I realized that how unsafe and scary to put your real information on the internet. Now I've canceled all of my accounts, and deleted all of my information only to protect my privacy. I think people may not open
their profiles unless they're celebrities, or who wants to be famous.

The information society has the problem to protect privacy on the one hand and to give freedom on the other hand. It is, in my opinion, better to be concerned about the data especially the issue of online banking. It would be a bad surprise to realize that somebody unauthorized has got this sensitive data of yours! But the possibility of, for example, online banking is so worthy that it would be ineffective for the information society to let it be. Security and protection is the most important thing in the www. Every user should insist on a safe usage with his data. This will be a signal that can't be unheard. Then the freedom of the users will become real.

Nowadays, people almost can not live without information society, not only industry but also people's everyday life. whereas, sometimes it is not safely using internet. many people like uploading photos on the blog, unfortunately, usually their privacy photos are illegally copied by the other strange people. as many people, I am keen on internet and concern about safety of my data online.

Look around. Do you see how many cameras watching you? They are in every corner. What for they are needed? To keep you from doing something wrong from one side and to protect you from another. It is the same with Internet. Information technology must have something to keep some people from wrongdoing in Internet and therefore to protect the rest of them. But the best way to protect yourself is to remember that Internet is a public place and not you closet…

Today, privacy is something which everybody tries to keep. Although, many times we have been invaded by people sending us garbage emails. My email box is always getting messages from unknown people that I was the winner of something. Even though after I delete all, I go on receiving other ones. In my opinion, it is the face of two coins to live at the age of an information society; however, for one side it has been helping us to get all the news before starting the day. Although, on the another hand, every day I'm obliged to throw away all bad emails. It is the price to live in a world that is called developed so forth.

Many years ago, we created accounts on a website using our real name and ID number where we could send messages and communicate with classmates. Finally we could be found by public searching engine. There was no doubt that the website sold our private information to make a profit. After that I never public my real information to website you don't trust. So in information society, you must know how protect privacy when you are using internet.

Just think about what it was like ten years before, I can not believe how can I survive in a world without any new information except from TV and radio... Thanks to IT development, people are connected together and the differences between cultures, countries, religions were minimized to some extent, which help to improve our communication.

Nowadays, we can't live without Internet. Through Internet, we receive any information we need. Beside, we also worry about that our previous information will be read and used by other people to do not good things. We should except this state because we are living in "information society" where we have both positive things and negative things.

In my opinion, everything has two sides at modern society, the information society becomes more and more important. we will not feel embarrassed if we could have access to the Internet. At meantime, we have to pay more attention to cut down our personal info on the internet to protect our privacy. To many rules to obey.

Whether our data is safe or not is depending on us. Facebook, for instance, both are available which is to show our pictures to every users or restricted friends. We could choose if we will show them to everyone or not during the process of uploading pictures. I am very concerned about this problem, I never showed my pictures except my friends. Showing our data to strangers is dangerous because they might be abused where we don't know. In fact, lots of Japanese people committed suicide because of being abused their private data. Thanks of information society, everything became convenient. We can communicate with foreigners, show our pictures each other through the internet. But in contrast, it has a huge risk to make people die, even make people feel uncomfortable in a way.

We are living now a big revolution with information society. It has changed the way we are informed, the way we buy, the way we entertain, the way we relate with each others, the way we work and definitely the way we live. But this new information society has also its dangerous face, we put lots of personal and sensitive data in our computers or in servers, which lots of hackers and geeks have demonstrated can be stolen and used to commit delictive actions. No matter how many care you take to preserve your privacy, by means of security software, there is always someone who can uncover it by electronic means. As an example there are the last attacks to Google in China to steal user accounts, passwords and other sensitive information; and Google is one of the strongest giants in the information society. I think the best way to preserve your private data is not introduce them in the computer or in the net.

Nowadays people can't imagine life without internet, telecommunications, so without any doubt, a term 'information society' is absolutely reasonable. Nonetheless, as every good thing it has negative side too. For instance, a mission to keep computer totally safe is almost impossible, so our data is always in danger. Talking about my personally experience, I've faced with similar problem and my advice is to protect a computer as much as possible and use it wisely.

Obviously, the more people to connect to the Internet, the greater information they upload. Also, they spend too much time on the websites. Facebook, for example, is receiving a lot of information and they can sell the information of the users for the advertising companies, etc. In my opinion, the development of the information society, at the same time, means the loss of users privacy.

I think some data is safe online because many people have access to general information. I have saw in the internet many search engine such as Google, Terra, etc., where you are able find general information about our countries such as agriculture, history, culture, the economy, population, education, natural resources, tourism services, scientist advance, technology , etc., that is part of information society. It's good has freedom access, because when you want to go to some place, you can to consult about it in the internet and make your schedule. Also you can investigate any topic for your studies or work. So we have other data which could be confidential and restricted only for the government use.

UFC 132 Cruz vs. Faber Preview
While last weekend it was the big boys that stole the show, this week the main event features a couple of bantamweights battling for the 135 lbs. title. However, don't think for a minute this fight takes a backseat in any way, because this fight has the potential to be the best fight in bantamweight history thus far. Why? Because it features a rematch of arguably the best two fighters of the weight class in the world.
UFC champion Dominic 'The Dominator' Cruz (17-1, 6 KO's 1 sub) is not only defending his belt, but has a chance to avenge the only blemish on his record. That is because his challenger Urijah 'The California Kid' Faber (25-4, 7 KO's 13 subs) defeated the current champ via guillotine choke in a fight they had four years ago. At that time though things were different; Faber was one fight away from becoming champion in World Extreme Cagefighting at featherweight (145 lbs.). Cruz meanwhile was fighting in only his 10th professional fight. A lot has happened since then.
Faber has gone 7-3 in 10 fights, including losing his title and going down in weight. Cruz meanwhile has won eight fights in a row, including the WEC 135 lbs. championship, defended it and became the initial UFC bantamweight champ. As much as I like Urijah Faber, it is for those reasons, plus some others, that I am picking Cruz to defeat Faber in the rematch via unanimous decision.
Cruz is a much improved fighter since then, not to mention more experienced now. He's learned how to use his size and reach to his advantage, as he's extremely tall for this weight class, and is much improved in his takedown defense. Plus, he's had two fights against Joseph Benavidez, one of Faber's primary training partners and teammates at Alpha Male. As great as Faber is and continues to be, I think he's met his match at featherweight Jose Aldo and now at bantamweight also in Dominic Cruz. We'll see if I'm right or wrong come Saturday.
In the co-main event, it's the return of a legend as Wanderlei 'The Axe Murderer' Silva (33-10-1, 23 KO's 3 subs), who hasn't fought in nearly a year and half, faces off against the always dangerous Chris 'The Crippler' Leben (25-7, 13 KO's 6 subs) at middleweight (185 lbs.). This one is a tough call for me as a huge Silva fan because I believe his best days are behind him. By the same token, I was never fully impressed by Leben, but the guy always seems to find a way to win. Yet, I'm going to let my heart get in the way and say that I think the time off may have been good for 'The Axe Murderer', which is why I'm picking him to win by second round TKO.
The other fight of note on this card features the return of yet another legend. Only this time the legend faces a rising star and I don't think the fairy tale ending is in store. Former light-heavyweight (205 lbs) Kingpin Tito Ortiz (15-8-1, 8 KO's 2 subs) meets budding superstar Ryan 'Darth' Bader (12-1, 5 KO's 3 subs) in what will likely be his last fight in the UFC. Ortiz AKA 'The Huntington Beach Bad Boy' is 0-4-1 in his last five fights and has not won a fight since October 2006; sadly, I don't think it will happen here either.
Bader, who is just 28 years old compared to Ortiz's 36, was on the verge of a title shot till he lost to eventual champion and fellow young stud Jon 'Bones' Jones in February. Ortiz's forte has always been his wrestling, but it can't compare to Bader's, a former two-time All-American while at Arizona State University. That, plus the game has obviously passed Ortiz by and I believe he's only in it for a paycheck is why I'm picking Bader by TKO in the third round. A sad end prediction for a true pioneer of the sport, but that's what happens when you hang on too long; just ask Ortiz's long time nemesis Chuck Liddell.

Mt. Crushmore Chronicles Part 2: Ten Sleep
Note: This blog post sucks. Please don't read it. Something has happened to me today and my sense of humor has been replaced with nostalgia and contemplation. The following is full of nothing but subtle spray and arrogance. Do yourself a favor and look at the pictures, scroll to the bottom, click on the Crushmore picture and watch the video. The beginning is funny and you can see what the sick rock climbs in Ten Sleep look like.
![]()
It has really been a treat climbing here at Ten Sleep. The limestone here, especially on the harder routes, is the best I've ever touched anywhere. And to top it off, it's exactly 'my style'. I guess that means the 'style' of route I enjoy climbing the most coupled with the 'style' I excel at. Endurance crimping and pockets on gently overhung face.
I put a lot of expectations on myself to perform well and despite knowing that I'm doing alright I don't think I'll ever be satisfied. Case in point: I sent a 5.14a first try of the day. Now most of the time I would be happy with that result and spend the rest of the day just having fun and climbing with no expectation. I put my draws on the 14a just to the right and started the mega-dog sesh. It felt hard. Harder than the last one. I expected to put a few days of work in before sending. Instead, at the end of the day, I found myself clipping the last bolt, on redpoint, and staring down the final crux. That little thought crept into my brain, "How cool would it be to send two 5.14's in a day?" I stared down the move and knew that what was about to happen would make or break a lifetime achievement. 30 years from that millisecond that was about to happen I'd be able to look back and say "I did that" or "I didn't." I chose the latter and fell.
I hold no allusions about the fact that I will not have that opportunity again. 5.14's are a rare breed and finding two, side by side, that suit me perfectly, in perfect condition is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I cursed and wobbled and let my temper tantrum slowly recede from denial into anger into depression...(wait, did someone die?) I know, I take climbing seriously. But, after a long hike out and plenty of overanalyzing I've come to a point of acceptance.
![]()
I've realized that I'm not going to achieve all my goals in climbing. I don't know if anyone will, unless they set them so low as to be achievable. My life list of routes I'd like to climb is staggeringly long. To Bolt or not To Be has been at the top of that list since day one. I like to think I'll move to Oregon for a year and do it but that's probably a pipe dream. Though I might end up in Australia on a climbing trip I'll probably punt on Punks in the Gym and who knows when I'll be back in France for Le Rose et le Vampire. I might actually not send my mega-proj at the New! That thought is downright depressing. But I'm slowly coming to a point where I can accept these things.
And the funny thing is that these goals seem to be more of expectations. I don't become overjoyed when I accomplish one, I just make the mental tick and move on, usually adding something else to the list instantly. Another case in point: It's been a life goal to onsight 5.13b. I guess I did that yesterday but it felt so easy that it somehow didn't count? I've tried much harder to onsight 5.12b's. Does that mean the route isn't hard? Don't ask me. Point being, I didn't feel satisfaction afterward. In fact, it's never been a goal to do 2 5.14's in a day! I somehow conjured that one up in a split second just before blowing it so that I would have something to be dissappointed about! Jeez...what a headcase.
All I know is that climbing has been so all encompassing for me for so long now that I've lost sight of how far I've come, the places I've seen, the trips I've been on, the satisfaction I have felt. Somehow I get lost in the moment of constantly pushing myself to do more, all the time, always better. It's pretty lame in a sense. But that desire, always nagging, has kept me healthy, alert, and alive. It's kept me from getting old! I'm still 23 bitches!
![]()
My mom likes to remind me of when I was a wee lad. I think probably 20? I used to talk about how someday I would send a 5.13a. I thought that was going to be the pinnacle of my achievement. In my eyes, everything beyond that was reserved for Chris Sharma and other super human, naturally gifted athletes. I clearly remember that day at the Obed, TN. I sat there beneath the Dark Half and stared at it. I had punted a few times already and knew nothing about redpoint tactics. I chewed on my tuna sandwich and stared at the holds. All of a sudden the holds took on meaning, I asked myself why I fell, analyzed the answer and changed my sequence from the ground. I tied in and sent. That day really marked the beginning for me of understanding how to accomplish my goals. I 'learned' how to 'learn' if that makes sense. Here I am 200 5.13's later and now I get upset if I don't do them first try. What the hell?
I wrote a little piece about it that you might get in your inbox if you have a DPM account. If not here is another 'radio friendly' version of the same thing I just said:
As I brought Andy up I could feel a sinking sense of failure on the route and the huge waste of opportunity. I started to wonder if the odd missed training session here and there would have made the difference? Should I not have eaten this or that? The chance to be on this route, in good conditions, with a good partner is so special. As I get older I sense more and more strongly all the time that life moves on, opportunities pass - for good. Just to have opportunity is such a gift. Wasting half chances is just not on.
Dave Macleod regarding his recent ascent of Longhope Direct (5.14a)
I follow Dave's blog fairly religiously. He usually has some words of wisdom but this quote in particular really hit home. I've been on the road again, slowly getting back into the rhythm of climbing and fully embracing the 'two on, one off' lifestyle. I've been climbing, in a committed sense, for over a decade and it always amazes me how I still learn a valuable lesson every now and then at the crag.
I worked out the moves on my next project here at Ten Sleep, Wyoming. I knew it would be a hard route for me so I rehearsed it, over and over, dialing in the key sections. Late in the day, I set off with the cliché of 'no expectations' and found myself clipping the last bolt and staring at the chains. I attempted to draw on past lessons learned and squelch the tiny nagging thought that was tickling my mind somewhere around the brainstem. "This would be a breakthrough for you. To do a hard route so fast. A once in a lifetime opportunity." I breathed deep, focused, and ignored the fatigue and blood that had seeped from my cuticles onto my fingertips making them slippery in the pockets. I set my feet deliberately for the last hard move, stared at the split-finger, Spock-pocket above and gave it everything I had. My fingers sunk not-so-perfectly into the hold and the next thing I knew I was hitting the end of the rope and screaming the F-word.
The opportunity had passed, and it didn't pass slowly. It passed in a millisecond. I lowered to the ground and just like Dave, and thousands of others before me, my mind raced with 'whys.' "Did I eat too much or too little? Should I have stayed at the rest another minute? I should have tied in with the 9.2 instead of this fatty 9.8! Did my confidence wane? Did I forget to breathe? I should have trained harder!" And on and on.
After a few hours I made peace with myself. That opportunity had passed. It was gone forever. But the opportunity to learn something was still there. I overanalyzed the millisecond when things went wrong and eventually came to the conclusion that I gave it my best. Sometimes that's all you can do.
I had a dream that night. It's kind of a recurring dream. I was doing a one-arm pull-up. I have this dream a lot and although I've never been able to do one in real life, I've cranked off hundreds in my dreams. This time I set a new record. I banged out over 30 and a crowd started to gather. My hand was latched to the bar in a split-finger Spock position. I think Dani Andrada was there with his shirt off. Hey, don't judge my dreams, OK. Sometimes it takes drastic measures to master a move, and why not do it in your sleep? I will not fall there again.
Dave's comment, and my experience, got me thinking about opportunity and decision. Most of our lives, we have plenty of time to make decisions and every day we are faced with opportunities. You could go to the gym. You could eat an apple instead of a Snickers. You could not pick up that second, or twelfth, beer. You could put away a little extra cash for your next road trip or study the guidebook and plan your next challenge. All those little choices seem frivolous and irrelevant but ultimately, they determine what will happen in that millisecond of opportunity when you don't have time to stop and think. And for us climbers, what happens in those millisecond opportunities defines who we are. It defines our success or failure and it determines if we achieve our goals or not. You can't change what happens in that millisecond opportunity and you can't change the decisions that led up to that outcome. You can set a goal now and you can decide how to approach your decisions in the future. And if you're going to do it, do it now. You never know when that opportunity will arrive.

It has really been a treat climbing here at Ten Sleep. The limestone here, especially on the harder routes, is the best I've ever touched anywhere. And to top it off, it's exactly 'my style'. I guess that means the 'style' of route I enjoy climbing the most coupled with the 'style' I excel at. Endurance crimping and pockets on gently overhung face.
I put a lot of expectations on myself to perform well and despite knowing that I'm doing alright I don't think I'll ever be satisfied. Case in point: I sent a 5.14a first try of the day. Now most of the time I would be happy with that result and spend the rest of the day just having fun and climbing with no expectation. I put my draws on the 14a just to the right and started the mega-dog sesh. It felt hard. Harder than the last one. I expected to put a few days of work in before sending. Instead, at the end of the day, I found myself clipping the last bolt, on redpoint, and staring down the final crux. That little thought crept into my brain, "How cool would it be to send two 5.14's in a day?" I stared down the move and knew that what was about to happen would make or break a lifetime achievement. 30 years from that millisecond that was about to happen I'd be able to look back and say "I did that" or "I didn't." I chose the latter and fell.
I hold no allusions about the fact that I will not have that opportunity again. 5.14's are a rare breed and finding two, side by side, that suit me perfectly, in perfect condition is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I cursed and wobbled and let my temper tantrum slowly recede from denial into anger into depression...(wait, did someone die?) I know, I take climbing seriously. But, after a long hike out and plenty of overanalyzing I've come to a point of acceptance.
I've realized that I'm not going to achieve all my goals in climbing. I don't know if anyone will, unless they set them so low as to be achievable. My life list of routes I'd like to climb is staggeringly long. To Bolt or not To Be has been at the top of that list since day one. I like to think I'll move to Oregon for a year and do it but that's probably a pipe dream. Though I might end up in Australia on a climbing trip I'll probably punt on Punks in the Gym and who knows when I'll be back in France for Le Rose et le Vampire. I might actually not send my mega-proj at the New! That thought is downright depressing. But I'm slowly coming to a point where I can accept these things.
And the funny thing is that these goals seem to be more of expectations. I don't become overjoyed when I accomplish one, I just make the mental tick and move on, usually adding something else to the list instantly. Another case in point: It's been a life goal to onsight 5.13b. I guess I did that yesterday but it felt so easy that it somehow didn't count? I've tried much harder to onsight 5.12b's. Does that mean the route isn't hard? Don't ask me. Point being, I didn't feel satisfaction afterward. In fact, it's never been a goal to do 2 5.14's in a day! I somehow conjured that one up in a split second just before blowing it so that I would have something to be dissappointed about! Jeez...what a headcase.
All I know is that climbing has been so all encompassing for me for so long now that I've lost sight of how far I've come, the places I've seen, the trips I've been on, the satisfaction I have felt. Somehow I get lost in the moment of constantly pushing myself to do more, all the time, always better. It's pretty lame in a sense. But that desire, always nagging, has kept me healthy, alert, and alive. It's kept me from getting old! I'm still 23 bitches!

Shia LaBeouf admite ter ficado com Megan Fox
Ator afirmou em entrevista à revista "Details" que não consegue separar o trabalho da vida pessoal.
Em entrevista à revista 'Details', ele admitiu que já ficou com a atriz Megan Fox, o 'mérito' que muitos homens gostariam haha.
Na revista ele está sendo apontado com o "último bad boy de Hollywood", e diz que não consegue separar a vida real com o trabalho.
"Olha, você está no set há seis meses com alguém, que está torcendo para ser atraente para você, e você torcendo para ser atraente para ela."
Sem dar muitos detalhes deste ocorrido, como datas ou quando ficou com ela, ele continua:
"Eu nunca consegui separar o trabalho da minha vida pessoal nesta situação. Mas o tempo que passei com Megan foi nosso, e acho que dá para perceber a química no filme."
Realmente o ator tem que ser muito bom e ter bastante experiência para não atuar do jeito que o Shia atuou com a Megan Fox e não sentir nada.

BAM SON!!
Been a while!! UFC 131, Live on Versus, and the Strikeforce GP
Man it's been so long. SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED!
UFC 131 was pretty sweet, check out Shane Carwin's face; he looked like he walked out of a fuckin horror movie:
UFC 131 was pretty sweet, check out Shane Carwin's face; he looked like he walked out of a fuckin horror movie:
LIVE ON VERSUS 4 was one sick card, I'd say better than UFC 131 and definitely UFC 130, and it was FREE!
Check out this sick ass kimura/triangle from J-Lau:
Joe Lauzon comes to finish fights. Now while he doesn't do so well against the upper tiers, he absolutely just dominates less opponents in such a gruesome fashion that it's hard not to be fan. Just look at that nasty triangle kimura!
Hmmm, what else happened in the world of MMA....oh yeah, NOT strikeforce, that's what not's happening! That was one terrible card, and I even thought it had the chance to become one of the greatest. Hell, I believe we all did, and if it weren't for Josh Barnett (the guy who ironically we all thought would RUIN things again), that entire Strikeforce GP would have sucked bad....Overeem, you really disappointed me....
