In a bold and controversial move, the city of Chicago instituted a new cloud tax today that will target online databases like AWS as well as popular streaming media services like Netflix and Spotify. The tax is designed to recoup some of the sales tax that has gone missing as consumers shift their spending away from brick-and-mortar stores to digital services. But the way the tax is being instituted raises a number of questions and has gotten the legal community up in arms. Everybody tends to think that hackers will never ever target them or their company/organization-until a breach occurs. We have already published several practical examples explaining why hackers target you and your data. Here, we will concentrate on post-incident actions and provide some brief advice on what to do after you have been hacked. The Apple Watch hasn't exactly been the success the iPod, iPhone, and iPad initially were (though to be fair the iPhone and iPod weren't that great the first year either); with demand matching that of the iPod's currently, and Apple apparently rushing to get a revised model out the door, things aren't looking good for this product. That said, I'm not convinced it is really dead, and given it took three tries to get the iPhone and iPod to overcome their initial issues, there is good likelihood that by the third version Apple will have a winner. But let's look at why the Apple Watch isn't doing well now. It is no secret that the U.S. government wants to upgrade its IT capabilities and that moving them into the cloud is a priority. In fact, it is a mandate. However, a recent report, DoD's Move to the Cloud: Box it Up or Build New? by MeriTalk, a public-private partnership focused on improving the outcomes of government IT, revealed that the Department of Defense (DoD)-despite enthusiasm for the cloud-may have its efforts hindered by budget constraints. For those have made the jump from traditional cable service to online sources for entertainment- also known as cable cutters or cord cutters-the Internet has never been quite so ready to accommodate. With services like Hulu and Netflix providing movies and television shows, and YouTube supplying a bit of everything, the options are nearly endless. And for those who crave the kind of shows that only HBO can provide, HBO Now has proven its mettle. OneWeb, intent on building a 900 satellite Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) broadband network encompassing the globe, released a flurry of information today. The company announced it secured $500 million in A-round funding, with participants including Airbus Group, Bharti Enterprises, Hughes Network Systems, (Hughes), a subsidiary of EchoStar Corp., Intelsat, Qualcomm Incorporated, The Coca-Cola Company, the Virgin Group, and Totalplay, a Mexican broadband provider. It also signed contracts for a whopping 21 launches through Arianespace and 39 LauncherOne missions from Virgin Galactic.
