ISIS has debunked our notion of the cave-dwelling, technologically deficient terrorist. The terror organization recruits, propagandizes and communicates via sophisticated online channels - taunting the West on the infuriatingly public, yet encrypted, Web. Not only does the organization carry out extensive Twitter campaigns, but active members post to forums, Facebook, and the Deep web with alarming regularity. ISIS members garner support from Western sympathizers, recruit international youth to join militia forces, and even operate a full-time call center for members. We picture the bad guys lurking outside our gates, looking for chinks in our armor (or firewalls in this case). In truth, when a breach occurs, it's more likely that an employee left the gate unlatched. Palo Alto Networks, FireEye, Fortinet and CyberArk Software have all put in bids for the $14 billion up for grabs in fiscal 2016 cybersecurity spending by the federal government. The four are battling it out, according to Business Insider, representing a fresh flurry of security investment by the feds. Writer Rob Enderle breaks down two of the hottest $200 tablets: Amazon's Fire HD 10.1 and NVIDIA's price-reduced Shield Tablet. Check out the head-to-head review before making any big tablet purchases this season. The fact that ISIS has used technology to the group's extreme advantage over the years is old news, but a new report from NBC News yesterday shows the extent of the terrorist group's technological prowess. The sheer size of the deal between Dell and EMC-Dell will pay $67 billion in cash and stock for the cloud computing company-has sparked all kinds of comment. One of the most interesting comes courtesy of a blog in the Harvard Business Review: The most important takeaway from this mega-merger is the strategy behind the deal is more critical than the details of the deal itself. Any tool has a dark side. A screwdriver, hammer, or drill can harm as readily as it can help, and it all depends on the frame of mind from which it's used. This was demonstrated as Brussels officials offered up a report around the terror attacks that struck Paris on Friday, suggesting that the terrorists involved may have turned to PlayStation 4 systems as a coordination tool. Fanboys should start worrying. Apple's introduction and spin around the iPad Pro is not a home run hit by any stretch of the imagination. It's fast and quality hardware, but the software to make it a PC replacement isn't there. With Microsoft looming large behind it, Apple is not innovating, but just keeping pace with its own development cycle. You have to wonder how hard the company is looking at what the rest of the world is doing.
