"The Mounties believe the $35 million of mass-market fraud reported in 2007 represents at most 10 per cent of all incidents." Story here

From a mobile web perspective (and recent study by IBM) consumers may want more from various perspectives. Perhaps the wants and needs of consumers around the globe will increasingly include a musical ride to increased security and governance.

Taking no credit, simply sharing awareness and applauding progress. Read the story by Tucci on SearchCIO.com. Do your part to help make quality increasingly inherent (i.e., intrinsic and pervasive) from various perspectives (e.g., green IT). Thank you for doing so.

As announced approximately one month ago, the personal kindness stories shared by Ellen, Dyer and audience on today's show were truly refreshing.

Thank You (to All) for all you do to help continually generate and grow positive energy throughout the world.

In a SearchCIO.com e-newsletter received today, Linda Tucci, a Senior News Writer, shares "a Chicago software company is betting that the mentality of the masses trumps the wisdom of a few". In the same newsletter you are encouraged to start your own blog.

The Internet is progressively housing tips (e.g., embedded within this post is a green one) to help make quality and value more intrinsic and pervasive from various perspectives. The Internet is also providing a means of sharing awareness of various innate qualities. One such example is this bright IQ Crew member who regularly comments on InternetEvolution.Com posts. How far will the Internet come by 2020 to increasingly be a positive contributor to improving the quality of life on earth, and within the cosmos, for all?

Nice idea. The next IQS101 post will be sometime after Earth Day... perhaps mid May.

PS: nice touch Google

Via a quick Internet search you can find sites and web pages about Earth Day (e.g., Earthday.net, US EPA, Earthday.gov, Wikipedia).

Since millions celebrated the first earth day in 1970, has the world (as a unified force for good) come far enough?

Will the coming near global IT profession increasingly help enable pros and public to make a positive difference for all earth and humanity matters of high purpose?

Will software, technology and information increasingly be utilized as a force for good?

Consumers want better protection and greater positive results. Consumers need to be increasingly empowered. Everyone has (and must have) a stake in making things better from various perspectives. Working increasingly together it is possible for the world to achieve great things for current and future generations. Life can increasingly be safe, prosperous and fun for all. Give positive energy to others. Dream positive. Do what you can in a positive forward thinking direction to help manifest dimensions of innate joy intrinsically and pervasively throughout the interconnected universe. Do what you can to increase the potential for everyday to be a great one, for everyone. Do what you can to manifest positive fellowship within all beings and creations. Thank you for doing so. Have a great Earth Day, April 22. Have a great day today and everyday.

In many ways quality, value, excellence and simplicity are becoming more inherent. This post takes no credit, however asks that all think about how they can increasingly help. Thank You for doing so. And thanks to all who continually find ways to increasingly make things better. The world increasingly can make a good and progressively better life for all. Computers and the Internet, and all that are part of the interconnected universe can increasingly make a positive difference.

You may have heard of The Millionaire Mindset; and it may be a good one, however, as noted in IQS there is a mindset intended to benefit all, Goodness. Share positive energy with others, and in some positive way help make quality, value, excellent and simplicity increasingly more inherent within people, processes, products, software, technology, information, and life in general. Thank you for doing so.

Sharing a few miscellaneously update bits from TechTarget related sites:

• PCI DSS, the next version (coming September)
• Windows begs for radical makeover (says Gartner analyst)
• Einstein, network monitoring tool (used by the US Department of Homeland Security)

BTW, as a bit of an update related to TechTarget, check-out David Strom's Web Informant April 7, 2008 post... excerpt below.

As a freelancer and business owner, I wear many hats, and some of you might not know about all of my activities, so pardon the self-promotion of this week’s note. For the past year, give or take a few weeks, Paul Gillin and I have had the pleasure of producing an almost weekly series of podcasts called TechPR War Stories. We have covered new and old media, interviewed some impressive guests including other tech journalists, marketing bloggers and generally had a real blast putting the show together. For those of you that don’t know Paul, he has been an editorial manager in IT for many years, founding TechTarget and now also working on his own. His lovely wife Dana is our audio engineer and producer.

Here is a link to the RSA '08 story. Below are a couple of excerpts.

Research officer Craig Mundie's proposal includes the creation of a trusted computing stack in which software, hardware, people, and data can be authenticated.

The idea, a safer Internet, certainly sounds appealing. But the devil is in the details. In all likelihood, Microsoft will be providing updates on its End to End Trust proposal at the 2009 RSA Conference, and in the years that follow, for quite some time. "This is a launch of a long term initiative that we think will bear fruit over time, but is very important in improving people's trust in the Internet," said Lipner.

Dr. Dyer recommends Gregg Braden's Life Changing New Book. A few words by Gregg from the related link are below.

A growing body of scientific evidence suggests that the universe works like a huge computer based in consciousness. And just as every computer uses a language to create results, the universe's consciousness computer uses our experience of Belief to speak to the stuff that our world and our bodies are made of. Recognizing that everything from the DNA of our bodies to the success of our relationships, and the peace of our world is based in what we believe, the way we think of ourselves is now more important than ever!

As a former senior computer systems designer, I offer dramatic new evidence that belief is the code that programs reality. The bottom line: if you know the code, you choose your limits. With The Spontaneous Healing of Belief in hand, you can now cross the bridge between science and spirituality with confidence! Are you ready?
