IT Snooping?

According to a Reuters article 1 in 3 IT staff have snooped on colleagues email, or other electronic data. Surprisingly over 40% of those IT staff polled stated that they had peeked at confidential data to include emails that was not part of their professional role.

Picasa Web Albums

Picasa has become a better product as a result of a recent release and a new web addition that have given this free application more juice. First of all I’d like to say that if you’ve used Picasa before and you enjoyed its easy UI and its ability to process images and then load them onto your favorite store to have them printed, you more than likely were satisfied with what you could do.
