that trust for fun and profit. Hackers use the euphemism "social engineering" and hacker-guru Kevin Mitnick examines many example scenarios. After Mitnick's first dozen examples anyone responsible for organisational security is going to lose the will to live. It's been said before but people and security are antithetical. Organisations exist to provide a good or service and want helpful friendly employees to promote the good or service. People are social animals who want to be liked. Controlling the human aspects of security means denying someone something. This circle can't be squared. Considering Mitnick's reputation as a hacker guru the least and last point of attack for hackers using social engineering are computers. Most of the scenarios in The Art of Deception work just as well against computer-free organisations and were probably known to the Pheonicians. Technology simply makes it all easier. Phones are faster than letters after all and large organisations mean dealing with lots of strangers. Much of Mitnick's security advice sounds practical until you think about implementation, when you realise more effective security means reducing organisational efficiency: an impossible trade in competitive business. And anyway, who wants to work in an organisation where the rule is "Trust no one"? Mitnick shows how easily security is breached by trust, but without trust people can't live and work together. In the real world effective organisations have to acknowledge total security is a chimera--and carry more insurance. --Steve Patient

Advantages: Simons witty attitude Disadvantages: Can stick frequently
Persoanlly I loved the first two Simon the Sorcerer games so much I re-did them many time. This too was a great game although I only ever did it once. It had so much to it, I felt I wouldn't have any time at all to do anything else if I did it again.
You start off with Simons body and soul seperated, because he was killed in Simon2. The first chapter is within the Temple of Life, where Simon goes through many trials and challenges to get his body and soul back together. Although really, this part of the game i thought was just to get you used to the controls and different ways simon could interact with things, for example he can now climb onto things, as it's in 3D.
It took me a while to get into the 3D mode of the game, but once I was used to it, I found it good and even prefered it to Simon 1&2 for walking and running around ...
Advantages: A definite classic from the 1960s Disadvantages: Disadvantages? Are you crazy !
THE DEFINITIVE SIMON & GARFUNKEL - CD - £14.99 new, but you can purchase used versions on amazon and other internet sites for as little as £3.49
Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel are pure musicians who have left an everlasting mark on popular music. The album of 20 songs, carefullly selected by Art for this compilation completey epitomise what the duo were all about ... acoustic harmonies, soulful and haunting lyrics ... not what you would term as typical rock and roll, in an era dominated by such music. In fact, a more apt desription of their music would be "folk", which is where the duo's early influences lay, particularly from Bob Dylan and the Everley Brothers.
The album sleeve is simple with a picture of the duo whilst recording, with the inner sleeve providing three pages of text, detailing some very interesting facts, such as ...
Advantages: It shows Hugh Jackman is willing to expand his range. Disadvantages: Poor direction, contrived plotting, sub-standard performances and a lack of surprises.
in a role so badly written it makes her function and motives clear from the outset.
The original music by Ramin Djawadi feels like it was composed to fit the film this was supposed to be. It features tense string arrangements, dark percussion and discordant piano to set the scene. Spanish and electric guitar are used to suggest the excitement Wyatt brings to Jonathan's life. Michelle Williams' character warrants bright piano and strings and the accountant's sexual exploits are accompanied by dark cellos and rising electric guitar. After being attacked, there is cacophonous electronica and discordant strings and tolling chimes for a major betrayal. However, the music has a tendency to be overpowering and feel melodramatic as it is bigger than the film it accompanies.
"Deception" is an exceedingly disappointing stab at the thriller ...

Manufacturer's product description
The world's most infamous hacker offers an insider's view of the low-tech threats to high-tech security. Kevin Mitnick's exploits as a cyber-desperado and fugitive form one of the most exhaustive FBI manhunts in history and have spawned dozens of articles books films and documentaries. Since his release from federal prison in 1998 Mitnick has turned his life around and established himself as one of the most sought-after computer security experts worldwide. Now in The Art of Deception" the world's most notorious hacker gives new meaning to the old adage "It takes a thief to catch a thief." Focusing on the human factors involved with information security Mitnick explains why all the firewalls and encryption protocols in the world will never be enough to stop a savvy grifter intent on rifling a corporate database or an irate employee determined to crash a system.With the help of many fascinating true stories of successful attacks on business and government he illustrates just how susceptible even the most locked-down information systems are to a slick con artist impersonating an IRS agent.Narrating from the points of view of both the attacker and the victims he explains why each attack was so successful and how it could have been prevented in an engaging and highly readable style reminiscent of a true-crime novel. And perhaps most importantly Mitnick offers advice for preventing these types of social engineering hacks through security protocols training programs and manuals that address the human element of security."
