Laptop Mobility Means Vulnerability
The good ones let you set exceptions, so you can let the general counsel hook up his iPhone," says Larry Seltzer, editor of eWeek Security Weblog. USE BIOMETRICS, BUT Fingerprint readers are an increasingly popular way of adding an extra layer of security to laptop use. In theory, they're a no-lose proposition: A thief would have to steal your laptop and your finger to gain access to your data (and at that point, data will be the least of your concerns). But users often forget a key step: Register more than one finger with the device. Cautions Simek: "If you cut or burn your finger, you're not getting into that laptop -- at least until you heal."

From the opening seconds, the show seems more focused on showing that ESPN is a legitimate news-gathering operation than on crafting journalism. In the run-up to the show's debut episode, I was most excited about this sentence from the network's publicity department: "To differentiate itself from other newsmagazines ...

I was excited to see a genuine ESPN meeting make it to the screen. The pitch meetings I've attended in my years as a TV producer have mostly consisted of people stammering out half-formed thoughts as the other staffers stifle yawns and eat doughnuts.
