Intel Buys McAfee for $7.68 Billion

intel_mcafee_secure_illo01

I don’t know what to think of this.  According to ZDNet, Intel just bought McAfee.  I never have been a fan of McAfee as it never protected my PCs very well when I used them. Then with the fiasco that killed corporate computers with a bad update back in April 21st of this year – I trust it even less considering that corporate customers are considered mission critical / high priority in comparison to your standard home users.  Now if this goes to show what kind of thing they are planning for hardware-enhanced-security, I’d be scared unless Intel really cracks the whip and gets McAfee in shape.  Time will tell, I’m sure many more details will be available in the days to come.

Deal of the Day: Metal Business Card Holder – $2

download business card holder

As a mobile professional, it is always important to make a good impression.  As such, you could pull out your business card from your wallet and have it slightly crinkled, or you can take one out of a stylish metal case with a cross on it and hand a pristine copy of your contact information to a potential client.  I’ll opt for the second option – and with it only being 2 dollars, it becomes a no brainer.  Get yours today – I just ordered mine from Everyday source.  You must be logged in in order to use the coupon code: S8SA1W.
