Sunday Morning.....
It is now six twenty and I couldn't go back to sleep when I woke up at five? So, now I'll do updating on the computer and drink "coffee" till someone makes breakfast!
Watched the Matrix again last night, it's got to be like the one hundredth time I've watched it! Still these best movie to date! I did just order a new movie from Amazon the other night.
"Pirates of Silicon Valley"
Steve Jobs and Bill Gates have pioneered an industry that literally transformed the entire world. ER's Noah Wyle stars as Steve Jobs, the co-founder and driving force behind Apple Computer. Anthony Michael Hall portrays multi-billionaire Bill Gates of Microsoft. The passion, luck and genius of these quirky visionaries explodes on the screen in this humorous, fast-paced and unforgettable film. Jump on to their wild ride and experience the struggles and successes of the overnight revolution that catapulted them into becoming the most powerful men in the world.
"The Art of Deception"
From Publishers Weekly
Mitnick is the most famous computer hacker in the world. Since his first arrest in 1981, at age 17, he has spent nearly half his adult life either in prison or as a fugitive. He has been the subject of three books and his alleged 1982 hack into NORAD inspired the movie War Games. Since his plea-bargain release in 2000, he says he has reformed and is devoting his talents to helping computer security. It's not clear whether this book is a means toward that end or a, wink-wink, fictionalized account of his exploits, with his name changed to protect his parole terms. Either way, it's a tour de force, a series of tales of how some old-fashioned blarney and high-tech skills can pry any information from anyone. As entertainment, it's like reading the climaxes of a dozen complex thrillers, one after the other. As a security education, it's a great series of cautionary tales; however, the advice to employees not to give anyone their passwords is bland compared to the depth and energy of Mitnick's descriptions of how he actually hacked into systems. As a manual for a would-be hacker, it's dated and nonspecific better stuff is available on the Internet but it teaches the timeless spirit of the hack. Between the lines, a portrait emerges of the old-fashioned hacker stereotype: a socially challenged, obsessive loser addicted to an intoxicating sense of power that comes only from stalking and spying.
I seen them talking about this book on the news, "The De Vinci Code" looked interesting so I ordered it too.
Well my cup is empty so I'll end it here for now........ ;)
