Laptops...

all these data loss situations are making me wonder, have all these large corporations and government agencies converted all their computers to laptops?? 
I don't for the life of me know why management types think having their workers being able to roam around with all their sensitive information slung over their shoulders.

Why hospitals shouldn't buy PC's

Hospitals need to realise that data privacy and security is as important to them as Defense departments. 

Too many cases of Hospital employees sharing passwords, lost laptops with patient and/or corporate data on it, and not being able to get data immediately are all issues that happen everywhere.

Having a desktop that never has any data or cache on it like a Sun Ray Virtual Display Device, and getting access to your data which is securley locked up in the Datacentre is perfect for hospitals. 

There are also hospitals around the world that use Sun Ray Virtual Display clients in their Intensive Care Units, as well as in Staff Rooms, Around the Wards, and even in Patient Rooms. All Clinicians have to do is insert their smartcard and they get their Desktop immediately.

Here we go again...

I think in this world there are far too many people using computers, who just don't know anything about them.
These are the people whos PC get infected and turned into botnets.
These are the people who don't know what a laptop leash is for...
These are the people who didn't read The Inq and read about free things like TrueCrypt!

These are the people with my personal data!

Aaaaargh!

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
