Intranet Journal: "In a smaller, more connected world intranets have to appeal to people from all over the world while also aiding business processes. Global organizations now have business units around the globe, some of which need to collaborate with each other; yet at the same time they operate in different time zones, different countries, and different cultures. While regional divisions and management often control the local intranets, at some point everyone works for the same organization. We all know intranets differ from one enterprise to another, but what about from country to country? Given the sometimes vast cultural gap, is there a difference between European and American intranets?"

Michael Andrews: "If computers are getting more user-friendly, why do we spend what seems like ever increasing amounts of time pampering them? Unfortunately, networking is turning out to be a bottomless sinkhole of time and money."
BusinessWeek Online: "Computer-security programs, like antivirus software, are designed to protect against hackers. But increasingly, researchers and hackers are finding vulnerabilities in the very programs that are supposed to protect against attack."

Bruce Schneier: "Again and again, we hear the argument that a particular technology can be used for bad things, so we have to ban or control it. The problem is that when we ban or control a technology, we also deny ourselves some of the good things it can be used for. Security is always a trade-off. Almost all technologies can be used for both good and evil [...] We don't ban cars because bank robbers can use them to get away faster. We don't ban cell phones because drug dealers use them to arrange sales. We don't ban money because kidnappers use it. And finally, we don't ban cryptography because the bad guys it to keep their communications secret. In all of these cases, the benefit to society of having the technology is much greater than the benefit to society of controlling, crippling, or banning the technology."

Steve Rubel: "Good blogs don't need to have opinions to become well read. They do need links; it's their air supply. [...] Opinion has its place and it is certainly very important and valuable, but links are primarily what get me visiting certain blogs every day."

Spyware Warrior: "This combination of fear, frustration, ignorance, and desperation makes spyware and adware victims ripe to be exploited again-this time by disreputable anti-spyware vendors, many of whom have simply rushed out poor quality applications to rake in money from a hot market and who do not shirk from using aggressive, misleading, and deceptive advertising to bamboozle scared and confused spyware and adware victims. Sadly, some of these vendors are not above installing adware and spyware themselves onto victims' PCs."

Bruce Schneier: "The Internet is still a dangerous place, but we don't foresee people or companies abandoning it. The economic and social reasons for using the Internet are still far too compelling."
Jakob Nielsen - Alertbox: Ten Years: "300,000 words of usability essays have had an impact: online user interfaces are considerably easier to use now than they were in 1995. Many predictions and recommendations have come true, though the full Alertbox vision is far from realized."

Dirk Knemeyer: "How many of us on the software side work collaboratively with and influence the development of the hardware our applications work on? Very few of us. That is curious, since all of the software we create is being experienced through the filter of the hardware actually delivering it. [...] Web design is fundamentally broken. The focus of time and money is happening at the wrong place on the Web continuum. We are trying to accomplish robust solutions on the Web that are better handled on the client. We are not integrating with or understanding hardware-what the people who interact with our creations are physically experiencing."
Mark Hurst: "Designers: Underline your freaking links."
