The Visibility Challenge Nobody Asked For
Today, nearly all web traffic is encrypted, making SSL/TLS inspection critical for detecting threats within encrypted channels. The performance tradeoffs that once limited inspection are becoming harder to justify as encrypted traffic continues to grow. Modern visibility tools help organizations inspect encrypted traffic at scale while maintaining performance, privacy, and compliance. Encryption is the bedrock of digital trust.

Software and copyright: key takeaways from Edozo v Valos
In brief The Intellectual Property Enterprise Court has struck out claims alleging indirect copyright infringement of computer source code through copying of software functionality, confirming the boundaries of software copyright protection.

Sustainability and zero impact in industrial energy solutions
The push for renewable energy is reshaping industries and global policies, but it brings significant challenges.

Brains and Brawn... Bob Simpson and Christmas hams - www.elizabethton.com
BY ALEX CAMPBELL Over the last several months, we explored the life of Paul Anderson, one of the strongest men (if not THE strongest) to ever walk the planet. It just so happened that he lived in Elizabethton for a while, which makes his story resonate with many of us. This week, I would like to transition into another local strength athlete who is less well known but incredible in his own merit.
Brains and Brawn... Paul and the two little pencils: Part 4 - www.elizabethton.com
BY ALEX CAMPBELL Paul Anderson earned many monikers throughout his life. “The Dixie Derrick” was first, referring to his massive steel frame. Later the Russians would weep and title him, “chudo piryody” which means “The Wonder of Nature”. But Paul was entering a different era of his life, with many now referring to him as Randall Strossen subtitled his biographical work about Anderson, “The Mightiest Minister”.
Brains and Brawn... Paul and the Two Little Pencils: Part 3 - www.elizabethton.com
BY ALEX CAMPBELL Paul’s plan sprang into his mind while he began traveling and speaking after he achieved fame in his Olympic weightlifting exploits. He went to prisons and detention facilities all over America, and no doubt thought about his childhood bully. As he plotted his return to Georgia, he knew what would happen if his plan was successful; there would be no bully left. Paul’s trips to those prisons and jails helped him see how many people there was that used violence to get their way.
If you go out now, you might feel guilty later. I do. – HotAir
But still, we bought hamburgers and milkshakes that servers handed to us, ate them at tables which would soon seat other customers, used trays and glasses that others would soon use, and walked home feeling a lot better than we did having stayed inside all day.

Eclipse Viewer
Looking directly at the sun is extremely dangerous, damage to the retina occurs in a few seconds and is not reversible. During a solar eclipse (moon blocking the sun) it is very tempting to look directly at this event, doing so usually results in eye damage. The event can be safely viewed by looking at a projected image of the sun. A small hole in a piece of foil acts much like a lense, creating an image. A device that uses a small hole to create an image is called a pin-hole viewer.

My biennial rant on voting
If feels like I write a post or rant every two years about this topic. The two big reasons I feel compelled to write something like this is that I care about our democracy, and that I have a really short patience for people who bitch about laws and regulations when they couldn't get off their ass to vote. Federal elections happen every two years.

Want to connect with millennials? Make a chatbot
For brands, engaging millennials is becoming harder and harder. Unfortunately, this is happening as millennials’ spending power is about to skyrocket. It’s no wonder, then, why brands spend millions, even billions, of dollars developing apps and buying up mobile ad space to capture the attention of this young generation. However, most of this money is wasted on advertising and media that does not work with millennials.
Back to school 2: This time, shit gets real
I've tweeted about it (once). I've told close friends and family. But I haven't really driven home what I'm doing. I've quit my job at Future US as technology editor at PC Gamer Hardware and Maximum PC. And it was tough to do it. The role of technology editor was a kind of dream job. It was the most fun I've ever had whist still getting paid. I mean come on, who wouldn't want to help build some of the most powerful desktop PCs you can think of and write about it?
What makes your workplace culture fun?
“This is our breakout area. As you can see, we’ve got a pool table, an ironic Space Invaders machine, several broken Apple Macs hanging on the exposed brick wall, craft beer on tap, though I think the keg’s empty… Oh, and that khaki tent in the corner is for meetings. Of course, there’s nobody in here at the moment as we’re all so busy working.” Lots of businesses claim to have a fun work culture, especially when they’re advertising for new employees.
