Drone Hackers Are Out There!

Remember those fun remote controlled copters you can get in any ordinary hobby store? Well they’ve fallen into the hands of hackers.
There are drones out there that have been equipped with a technology called “Snoopy” which looks for mobile devices that are connected to wifi. Snoopy can access all your login information, your identification, credit card information and any accounts you’ve accessed through your phone in the past.
These drones could be flying hundreds of feet above you, stealing all your information, without you knowing it. Snoopy can ONLY crawl into your personal information through wifi. Users can protect themselves by shutting off Wi-Fi connections and forcing their devices to ask before they join networks. Beware of the drone!

Amazon "60 Minutes"

Amazon Has Big Plans For The Future

This clip from “60 Minutes” shows how CEO Jeff Bezos has big plans for Amazon in the future. Not many know exactly what Amazon does behind Amazon.com. I’m pretty sure that many of you out there thought Amazon only did online shopping. Not only do they do shopping but they create mobile devices, built one of the largest data servers in the world, have started a Amazon clothing line, filmed their own sitcoms, and are even creating “octocopter” drones that will someday be delivering products to your door steps within a day.

Bezos is making sure his company stays fresh in this chaotic online market. Being the the leading company in your industry is always up for grabs. What makes you better then your competitor? Always be on top of the game. Letting your company be stagnate will allow for the next business owner to take your place and possibly have you go out of business.

Check out this small clip from “60 Minutes,” featuring Amazon’s CEO Jeff Bezos. Pretty inspirational.

Saw Sharpening

Keep Your Company Sharp

Two Lumberjacks set out into the woods to cut down x amount of trees. They were both given the same saw to use.Throughout the day lumberjack #1 would take a break after every hour. Lumberjack #2 wouldn’t take any breaks and continued on cutting as many trees as he could before the sun went down. Just about an hour before the sun went down, lumberjack #1 finished cutting down every tree in his area. Lumberjack #2 walks over to lumberjack #1 and asks, “How did you manage to finish cutting down all the trees before sunset while taking a break every hour? I never took a break and I’m still not done.” Lumberjack #1 reply’s, “I was sharpening my saw after every hour.”

The moral of the story is this. Rather than continuing to work with a blade, which had become blunt, you need to stop, sharpen your saw and then get back to cutting the tree. By doing this, Lumberjack #2 would have saved a lot of effort and got the job done a lot faster.
Make sure your business doesn’t get stuck on a rut. Step back and re-evaluate your vision and goals. Refine your process.
