What a nasty headline for an article. From ABCnews.com the journalist roasts IT professionals on a spit. And the comments were all inspiring. As the recession rears its ugly head, disgruntled ex employees are in the best position to drop a bomb in the companies network or suck all the data out with a few terabyte drives. A recent study by McAfee a

For those of you who didn't sit in on Cohn & Wolfe's recent gathering to discuss the state of (dis)trust in financial institutions, I'll give you a quick rundown of their conclusions, which won't be any surprise to readers of my blogs. In a nutshell: Accept that trust has declined significantly and that consumers won't be pleased if you just go...

This is good. It was sent to me by a close friend. It has been around a little but given the US employment figures is so true and such a WAKE UP call to Brown, Obama, Rudd and so many other world leaders it has to be read. A Boss Who Tells It like It Is Date: 4 February 2009 To All My Valued Employees, There have been some rumblings around the o...

Hardly mobile transactions. No different than sticking a chip to your shoe and waving your number 10's at the reader. While it is nice cheap spin it really isn't mobile, you need a reader plugged in somewhere for a start. I can understand Barclays wanting to leverage all that hardware and Chip and PIN infrastructure they shelled out for. I watch, w...

Those self-serving politicians who oversee the regulators and maintain the health of the economic system that the bankers feed in? What about the ...

Bo Harald Chairman/Founding member, board member at Trust Infra for Real Time Economy Prgrm & MyData,
By now it should be clear that any e-bank for consumers should receive e-invoices for one-click approval. Before that the service is just a typewriter - to fill in lots of details and lenghty reference numbers.

Take the easy way - the only way There is still some debate going on in relation to the implementation of easier VAT-rules for invoicing in EU.
