World's Best Presentation Contest 2010
Una vez más me presento al World's Best Presentation Contest 2010 de Slideshare, un concurso que me encanta por la gran cantidad de muestras creativas que se dan, pero sobre todo por que es de los pocos concursos en los que me animo a participar. El año pasado quedé en el puesto 21 entre los votantes.

Half Of Home Wi-Fi Networks Can Be Hacked In Less Than Five Seconds
Robert Chapman spoke to Computing, SC Magazine and Computer Business Review about a report that reveals that nearly half of home Wi-Fi networks can be hacked in less than five seconds.
CPP, a provider of Life Assistance products and services, released the report "UK’'s Wireless Networks Open To Attack." The report revealed that personal wireless networks are prone to hacking, with 82% not even having a password.
Robert explains: "It appears this problem is still not being taken seriously by enough companies and individuals. One day - probably soon - there is going to be a security breach that does irreversible damage. Will it be only then that people wake up to this threat?"

Top 10 Tips for Passing the Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Exams
Joel Jeffery of JFDI Phoenix, an instructor at Firebrand Training, gives the rundown of his top ten tips for passing the Microsoft SharePoint 2010 exams. These will prove invaluable whether you are a SharePoint Administrator (exams 70-667 and 70-668), or a SharePoint Developer (exams 70-573 and 70-576).
The exam syllabus states that three months of product experience is required before sitting the MCTS exams, and up to two years for the MCITP and MCPD exams. You can complement this experience with my top ten tips:
1. Pace yourself. You have a limited amount of time and a lot of questions to answer. Give yourself a time limit per question – and stick to it. Keep track of the time remaining, which is displayed on-screen.
2. Read the question. It sounds obvious, but read the question thoroughly. Watch out if you like taking notes: don’t use all your exam time writing them down!
3. Do you know the answer? Another one that may sound obvious. If you have checked the whole question, and you are certain that you know the answer - select the answer and move on.
4. Leave no question unanswered. There is no “negative” marking in Microsoft exams. You only accumulate points for correct answers; no additional marks are deducted for incorrect choices.
5. Don’t change your mind. If you choose to review your choices at the end (and this is generally a good idea) do not be tempted to change your answer unless you are sure you got it wrong.
6. Look out for clues in later questions. Your exam can be like a logic puzzle. Sometimes you can find two or three questions spread over the course of an exam that, when read together, can only have one logical combination of correct answers.
7. Eliminate the stupid choices. The quality of Microsoft exams has improved much over the last few years. These days, all choices you will be presented with must be viable areas of SharePoint 2010’s object model or platform. However, there are usually still one or two obviously incorrect choices that you can eliminate with ease.
8. Look out for trick questions. Sometimes Microsoft puts in choices that are more applicable to a previous version of a product or technology, but which would not work on the new platform.
9. Avoid overly complex answers. Try and ask yourself “If I were to design an API or command line interface, how should I do it?” Often the most cumbersome-looking choices are incorrect. Beware though. Sometimes things are just difficult to do.
10. Don’t forget everything you already know about IT! You walk in to the exam room with potentially many years’ experience as a developer or IT Professional. Keep calm and use your real-world skills.

Equipos de Alto Desempeño
Aprovechando las exposiciones de mis alumnos donde recordè este tema, les comparto esta parte adicional a las diapositivas, que me pareció importante.
Como saber que no se está aportando en Equipo de Alto Desempeño
- Cada vez que se esté desinformado o perdido e igual se interviene para “aportar”.
- Cuando se discute y se está permanentemente en desacuerdo.
- Cuando se repite lo que otro dijo.
- Cuando se interviene para decir algo que no viene al caso.
- Cuando se hacen “preguntas” que enredan, o una pregunta se convierte en una intervención muy larga.
- Cuando la persona se molesta porque “no se le hace caso” a su sugerencia.
- Cuando la persona se pliega al desorden de la reunión.
- Cuando se realizan conversaciones en paralelo.

65% of Internet Users Fall Victim to Cybercrime
Coinciding with the release of Norton AntiVirus 2011 and Norton Internet Security 2011, Symantec has published "The Norton Cybercrime Report: The Human Impact."
It claims that 65% of the world's internet users have already fallen victim to cybercrimes (including computer viruses, online credit card fraud and identity theft). The top four countries to fall victim were: 83% in China, 76% Brazil and India and 73% in the USA.
Though it appears that this crimewave can't be attributed to complacency: only 3% of web users don’t think that it will happen to them. But a pessimistic 80% do not expect cybercriminals to be brought to justice.
It's interesting to see web user's emotions following a cybercrime taking place. Victims’ strongest reactions are feeling angry (58%), annoyed (51%) and cheated (40%).
