The product is the tool for making business and without a product is no business.



All companies must have a product that they sell. Without product is no business. For businesses, the product is the tool that should bring money to the company. Without a product is no incoming money. The reason for that is that the product is the thing that brings customers. And customers are people who are giving money to the company to get products that the company will offer. 

When a person becomes an entrepreneur that person must realize that money that customers are bringing to the company is not a gift. Customers want those products. And if the product doesn't please them, they will choose some other deliverer for those things. 

Somebody says that products are unequal. Because companies want that people buy new products in the next year. That thing is an urban legend. But the fact is that the product is the base for business. And without product is no business. When everybody buys some product that thing brings it to every pocket. And finally, there is no sale anymore. And if the company is not selling products, that thing causes bankruptcy. 

So, if the company doesn't make new products, that thing causes problems. When some company offers computer games or mobile games, they must realize billions of users might load that game. But then everybody has that game, and why do they want to pay the same license again and again? Those users don't want to gift their money to the company. They want the product for their money. That's why the company must develop new products. 

So it's easier to make an unequal product that is easy to refine, and people are willing to buy the better product next year. If we think about cell phones it's easy to make a phone with a 60 Gb flash memory store. And then the next year company can make the same cell phone with a 120 Gb flash memory store. That thing saves the company from the costs of development. This thing is one of the most interesting things in products.

We must realize that technology turns more advanced. And advanced technology brings new abilities and advances in products. The new products are more tested and more secure than old fashion products. The fast-advancing ICT sector is a good example of an area where is no perfect product. And even the most-perfect products turn old-fashion very fast. 

But what if companies are making only perfect products? At this point, I must say that there is no perfect product. And sooner or later, even the best products turn old. When we think about the oldest mobile telephones the entire telephone turns old-fashion. 

The products are made a little bit worse than they could be. And that thing guarantees that people buy it next year. Maybe that thing is somehow right. But the product must give a response to the new type of threats, and it must follow standards. The information technology world is a race between hackers and defenders. 

When password protection became standard, the hackers turned to use social hacking like cheating the workers. They asked the passwords and misuse the data systems. So biometric recognition removed that problem. Maybe tomorrow we must use the password only once. That "once" is when we started to use internet accounts. 

And then, we will continue to use biometric recognition. The web camera can follow the user, and if the user changes during the use and continues to use the same account the system can tell supervisors that some wrong person uses someone else's account. 

Old-fashion mobile telephones are the risk. In old Android telephones, thieves must only remove SIM cards. If they want to get access to social media applications. If the phone itself is password protected, that gives better security. But there is the possibility that a misuser blackmails or cheats the password. So the next step is biometric recognition. The fingerprint makes it impossible to misuse the system. Or the misuser must be a registered user. 

This kind of system is telling if some other person will try to use the account without permission. The information of the attempt to log in to the system will be seen on the mobile telephone if the user uses a two-stage login. 

When people are not using old technology enough the network operators will remove the support from those phones. And the reason for that is the costs of the networks. When the operator maintains the network that thing causes costs. 

If there are no users, the costs will raise too high. Maintaining old-fashion systems costs money. And that money is away from some other projects. 

The reason why the networks developed all the time is that modern systems are bringing security. The new type of environment requires secured networks. And that thing must notice in the business and governments. When the Internet developed people trusted that governments are removing things like disinformation and other things from the net. 

But Putin's trolls, along with Chinese hackers, are shown that some governments are not trusted. When we are talking about "trust" trust is the thing that is always earned. Trust is not the thing that is just the world. 

When some of Putin's trolls are delivering disinformation or Chinese hackers will crack the systems people must realize that those actors are working for their governments. They ever are punished. This is why we must concern about the misuse of the internet. The new products must be safer, and we must prepare things like somebody misses a mobile telephone.

The thing in modern ICT-technology is trust

The thing in modern ICT-technology is trust

In the modern world, highly effective computing has one thing, which makes modern life very interesting and dangerous. The thing is even if we have more effective and powerful data networks, there is also very much data in that network. The problem is how to pick one certain bite of bytes from the ocean of the bits.

There are more bits on the internet, that there are atoms in real oceans, and the systems must find out harmful bits from that mass of bits. And that is a hard thing even to the fastest and most powerful computers in the world. The sharpness is the key element in computing, and that is the reason, why we are using computers and networks.

In real life, those machines are comparing things a bit to bit, and one changed bit in the image can be noticed by using computers. This thing is important if we want to find malware from the net. But there are many other problems with that kind of things. When the antivirus software is searching malware from the net, another thing like phishing and delivering fake information is becoming a more popular way to use the internet as criminal purposes.

The key element is to understand that there could be many ways to deliver hoax information. And the normal virus detectors cannot separate hoax information from real information. But if we would want to create artificial intelligence, what mission is to detect hoax information from the internet. One thing what that kind of program can do is try to detect the codes, what are written the programs like photoshop, and if that code is connected to the photograph, which is introducing some "real" camera image, that system can tell that thing to the user.

One of the most effective methods to deliver that kind of manipulated information is just bringing the SD-card, what is claimed to found from the camera of the dead journalist and fill that thing with photoshopped images, what is proving that the bandits are shooting innocent civilians. That thing would have a great influence on the acts, what people are thinking about some civil disorders. The thing is delivering fake news is very easy, if somebody would give material, what to use in that kind of actions. Making the homepages, what are delivering hoax information is as difficult as normal homepages.

The virus scanners would not detect hoax information if they are just searching for malicious code. And that's why there would be a very important thing to create artificial intelligence, what might find out the hoax information from the homepages. That system can detect the registration plates and other things like texts, what is also in images, and find out if the language or selection of words seems something strange. But the thing is that artificial intelligence ever replaces human.

People should concern if some governmental newspaper is delivering the hoax information or the propagandist writings would be published as news. That kind of thing tells that there is something, what somebody wants to hide. If somebody would manipulate information, there must be some reason for that. Information manipulation is a very bad thing for everybody.

Modern digital business environment

Modern digital business environment

Networks and revolution of technology are not a new thing, but the thing is that those things are now happening in the many times during the generation. ICT and digitalization are becoming a more and more important part in the business and governmental actions, and today we can be connected to the people more effectively than we ever thought before.

The lightweight, mobile systems allow people to be connected on the Internet all the times, and that makes new kind of threats and opportunities for business and another kind of things. The key role in digital business is similar to normal or traditional business is in the networks.

And the value of networks is that those things are giving information for the people very fast. And when we are thinking about the case, that we would want to give an offer to some company, the most important thing is to let those people read our offer. The things, that the people who are buying services and select subcontractors would have contact with the offer maker because large and well-known companies get offers all the time. So why the person, who selects the subcontractors or contractors would read our offer?

This is the most difficult thing. When we are thinking the digital business and management of that kind of things, we must remember, that if we want to create trust with those actors we must give something, what might interest those actors. So the biggest difference between traditional and digital business is the speed, how the data would travel between companies. And when we are sending emails, we must remember, that those people, who are getting those emails would get probably hundreds of emails every day.

The thing is that we must realize that information security has a strong role in that kind of marketing and other business. We must secure our working environment and our network against hostile operators. In the network of business and private life, the rumors and false information is delivering very fast. And that's the thing, why we must be careful while working in the high-speed and hectic network. And the thing is that we must choose data, what we want to share. Fact is that we should tell people something about ourselves and our role in working.

But we must not uncover things, what might risk the security of the company or other people. The thing that somebody doesn't have a social media account is suspicious. That means that we must uncover something, and remember that relationships in private life would be a good gate to the inner circle of ourselves or somebody else.

If some person would get access to the wrong mailbox, that thing would cause the catastrophe in the relationship between the offerer and receiver. Or what would you think, if the first offer, what you get from some actor is some kind of joke? In the modern world, the thing is that we would not use one kind of software anymore for communication.

Social media applications might be used together, and even the person would not tell if they have a social media relationship with some person, who would send the offer of services. This is the thing, why we must be careful in this kind of things. If we would screw up in our private life, those things can be used against us. The thing is that people are not always telling their actual position of themselves. And that kind of things is dangerous because if we use strong criticism of some things, we might face that the target of our criticism is sitting at the front of us.

And the people, who are analyzing attitudes and data, what somebody shares might have multiple backgrounds, what means those teams are connecting their training. Those things are extremely important when services are offered to children.

The thing what makes a person suspicious is that that person accepts only similar people, what that person is to mate in social media. That tells that there is something wrong if the person would accept only the owners of the motorbike to the social network. Those people who make analyzes have psychological and another kind of training.  Their mission is to find out dangerous people from the network.

What was the real reason for the Iraqi war?

What was the real reason for the Iraqi war?

One of the reasons for the invasion of Iraq was that Saddam Hussein didn't predict that some people would make suicide attack against the World Trade Center. But that thing was only the last thing of the series of actions, what caused the allied invasion to Iraq, or at least gave the reason for the attack.

Many times I have written that there were many, so-called real reasons for that war. One of those reasons was that Saddam Hussein openly opposed the resolution of the United Nations Security Council, what was under the scrip by all members of the Security Council, what has the veto right. And that was a very bad thing for the authority of the United Nations and so-called superpowers. Also, the acts of formed Yugoslavia military forces in the Yugoslavian war forced the United Nations to authorize the military actions against Iraqi.

But there were also many other reasons, and one was that the United States wanted to demonstrate the effects of its weapons and that means that the international weapons trade was the major reason why allied forces attacked Iraq. The thing is that if we are thinking about what was the so-called real reasons for that operations, we must say that the war was the quantum of solace. When Saddam Hussein simultaneously broke the orders, what came from the United Nations, and then the political atmosphere in the United States turned to support the military actions because of the 9/11 attacks.

The thing that Saddam Hussein gave support for Osama Bin Laden along with the actions, what that man ordered before those suicide attacks against the World Trade Center and Pentagon justified the USA offensive military action against Iraqi. The thing was that Saddam Hussein miscalculated the U.S government and the nations will of attack against Iraq caused the attack. The thing is that maybe Saddam didn't know what were the plans of the Al Qaida, and he believed that the Al Qaida was followed the orders of the Taliban and mullah Muammar Omar.

And if Saddam Hussein discussed only with Omar, that attack to the USA would come as surprise. The demonstrations, where people show support for those terrorists caused hate and then the political atmosphere turned for supporting the attack against Saddam Hussein, and because the money for the war would get back from Iraq by the contracts of rebuilding and benefiting the oil of that country, the political support for the offensive military action for Iraq were guaranteed.

Because of the anti-militaristic movement of the USA Saddam Hussein thought, that he could deny the United Nations inspections to the chemical plants and nuclear laboratories. And then the world would forget that Iraq attacked against Kuwait about ten years before the second Iraqi war. Saddam Hussein thought that being silent, and playing some games, the flight prohibition zones in the Iraqi airspace have not stayed longer, and then that man wanted to take his revenge.

Or this is how normal people believe that the road went to the second conflict. But the thing is that the problem in that area is that it has been a very good zone for introducing military equipment, and also the money feels good in the pockets of Russia, what also wants to sell weapons to that area. And also if the Russian missiles and aircraft would be effective, the success against Western aircraft and other equipment would be good marketing for those products.

And also otherwise Western military manufacturers want to sell their products for the nations, who are attacked by the Russian equipment. The problem is that even the weapon selling to the countries, what are at war, the thing is that those orders are simultaneously broken, and if the orders are not followed by some military exporters, they have not to effect at all. The thing is that the Middle East is the area, where military manufacturers can test their newest and deadliest technology against real targets. That thing is causing the civilian casualties, but the truth is that in countries like Jemen, the actors are Arabs, and that makes difficult to justify somebody.

The weapons that are used are American made, but the users were Arabs and that thing causes many problems in the justification. The Russian military has used very strong firepower in Syria, and that thing is a little bit embarrassing for many people, who normally blame the USA because of the actors in the conflicts are other countries. And that makes impossible to justify the USA alone, even if the weapons that are used were made in the USA, the thing is that the enemies are justified as terrorists.

This thing is really bad, and embarrassing also for the coalition and weapon sellers, what are looking at the civilian victims from the TV. And the thing is that many Arab nations like Saudi-Arabia use mercenary soldiers for flying their aircraft, which is effective, but the thing who gives orders to those pilots is hidden from the public audience.

The algorithms and computers would give power for recruiters of the workers

The algorithms and computers would give power for recruiters of the workers

When we are thinking cases, where a human makes decisions, who to hire in the job, and who of the job seekers is the best, we are facing cases, where the candidate is very good to please the recruiters. This makes sometimes possible to confuse interviewers, and the place would go to the person, who has no experience or training for that mission.

In fact, some people are good to manipulate and please the other people, that they forget to check that if those people have not necessary training for their missions. In those cases, the working experience of those people has been impressive, but there were not any schools, but the thing is that those people have been good to turn the view in the working experience, what is full of well-known companies and good positions as the "chief of the team".

And sometimes the interviewer has forgotten to look at the official training and certificate papers of that person. Actually, sometimes even the ID-papers has forgotten to look when on the other side of the desk has been sat the handsome person, who has an impressive collection of the working experiences. 

This is why we should use modern technology, where the computer picks up candidates, who have necessary skills, in the point of view of the official papers. In some situations, the person needs some kind of official training for the job, where the main role of the worker ta act as the supervisor of some building sites, or the company is looking for the lawyer. In those jobs, the law orders, that the person who works in those jobs must have proper training.

And in this kind of cases, the computer can pick the persons, who have the necessary training for that job. But there might be a very little thing in the form, what the candidate must fill, before entering the interview, and it is that that inmate must fill those things to form self. 

And if there is some data, what is not true, information of that would send to the officials, who would continue with those cases, that some person, who has no training at all claims that they were some judges or something like that. Also, the dates, where the person has got the working experience can also be checked from the government, and if there would be differences about those dates and tax payments, the system might tell that to officials, who would make decisions, how they continue with those cases. That would save time and money if that kind of checks can be made automatically because if there are no rights to make those works, the price can be very high.

The silent media

The silent media

There have been rumors that the people, who have been family members of the social media activists have been offered cheap trips to Russia and China, and that thing has been used to force the activists to keep their mouth shut. The social media is the thing, what has been uncovered the problems in western society, as well as the problems in the authoritarian nations.

The authoritarian leaders are always offering support to each other, and this thing is one of the saddest notifications from history. When the people who were resisting the dictatorship got the power, the new rulers have used the same methods, what their predecessors have been used. The reality is that the name of the leader and the faces in the photographs on the wall have been changed, but the way to use power has stayed similar, what the ruler, what have been lost in history had.

The name of the secret police changes, but methods are the same. And the worst thing, what the nation can face is the popular dictator. Even if the first dictator is a civilized person, sooner or later would the power would go to the hands of despots, as we have seen many times in history. Sooner or later the ruler would change to the tyrant, who has started the persecutions against people, who are talking against them.

The defects in society might be kept silent by the press because it is controlled by some authoritarian leaders. The censorship of the media is a very good tool to claim people that resistance is useless, and the "reasonable" people are flexing in the prevalent situation. If a person is not reasonable, the results would be very bad. This is the agenda, how the authoritarian leaders are operating in the media. They are claiming, that they are so popular, that people should not even try to resist them.

And the weapon of those people is the "qualified journalism", as they are telling to people. If we are thinking about the agenda of qualified journalism in the point of view of religion, what is a good way to order people to keep their mouth shut, we must notice one really interesting thing in those writings, what bases on the Holy Bible. Those qualified journalists are taking only a couple of words of this book or only the parts, what are supporting their opinions, and leave the rest of it without notice.

One thing what is the most popular way to read that book is it offers authority to elder people. And in that book is mentioned that people have the right to punish their children, but the golden rule is always forgotten. That means that if a person really wants to get bitten because of the opinions or things, what are against other people opinions, means that the person must be real sadomasochist. But that kind of things is always forgotten from the so-called qualified journalist's way to write about the things.

When we are thinking about the newspapers, they have been the greatest supporters of democracy. But they have also been the greatest weapons in the hands of the bloodiest dictators in history. When we are thinking about violence and other kinds of things in history, there have always claimed that torture and another kind of things, what is made by the authoritarian police have been only the single cases, but would you feel nice, if you were one of those single cases?

The persons who own the newspaper or media-house are ruling the line of that thing. And if the trusted media house is turning to the hands of the authoritarian leaders, would the results be devastating. The problem is that buying the media houses can be done by using middlemen, and that means that the real owners would be really difficult to track. If the owner is operating behind the threads of many companies, what is registered in the multiple countries the real ruler can hide behind those threads.

Problems with pocket-size mobile command systems

Problems with pocket-size mobile command systems

The hero of our time "man in the suit"

When we are thinking about the modern version of the national hero, we might think the man, who wears a black suit and slips. This man has replaced generals and other uniform users in the hardcore national security situations. This modern hero just takes the mobile telephone from the pocket, if the national security is in danger, and then this hero activates the mobile software, and after that this cell phone turns to command equipment.

The tablets are actually the same with mobile telephones, and that means that also pocket-size versions of the same mobile tools, what are used in the tablets. This means that the cell-phones can be used in the same role with those tablets, and this allows the operators to just sit on the bar, and use the same battle-control equipment what the men are using in the field, but this makes that person stealth, and that makes them bad targets to the enemy military.

By using this tool the head of the national security would order military forces, and if the threat would not surrender immediately that man or woman would take the cell phone from the pocket, and use the secret sign or by using voice and face recognition. After that 100 combat drones would immediately attack to that position. This is the vision of the future of the command systems.

Every command tool can miniaturize as the pocket size.

The mobile telephone can be used to command military systems as well as some laptop computer. And the laptops are similar things, with the table model computers, but they are portable. That means that those systems can be used in the moving vehicles, and the personnel, what uses this kind of tools can make their command center anywhere they want.

This is the modern version of mobile command platform, but today the mobile telephones can be used in any bar, and those command tools would load to those pocket-size systems. This makes the command systems even more flexible than they have been. Those mobile tools can communicate with supercomputers by using encrypting telecommunication networks, which makes very hard to locate those people from the streets.

And mobile tools are making everything very flexible. In some scenarios, the agents would take some drones inside some house. Those very small drones would have a small gun as Derringer installed under them. Then that small quadcopter would communicate with command center by using satellite communication, which allows that the system can be controlled from some command center, or the hitman can stand in the line, and just takes the mobile telephone from the pocket. This system allows controlling those drones from the other side of Earth by sitting in the toilet. This is the thing, what the pocket size multi-mission tool is in use.

White-collar crime and the story, what was behind the movie "Casino"


White-collar crime and the story, what was behind the movie "Casino"

The "Hole in the wall gang" Las Vegas

At the beginning of this text, I will tell that organized crime is a serious thing, and there is no humor if you will get some mobsters angry. Those people are living for collecting "protection money" from the street gangs, and if that thing would be uncovered, that might cause problems for the writer.

So if you write something, what those mafia-guys don't like, that would mean that your car might be broken, and the baseball bat will hit to your head. And that means that be quiet and let everything happen, and maybe they would take you to the gang, and in this case, you can follow the road of Spilotro-brothers, whose fate was beaten to death by baseball bats, and that case is really good example, what would happen, if you will join the organized crime and screw up their business.

There have been many movies and documents on the television about this case, what is the source or base for the Frank Scorsese movie "Casino", where one of the main characters acts by the Robert De Niro. But when we are thinking about this kind of cases, where the people who were working in an illegal casino business, where the money is washed for the mafia, we might see one very interesting detail in this kind of thing. I will tell that thing lately.

Use the casino as the bank

In that case, the persons, who worked for the organized crime had two casinos one was legal and one was illegal. That illegal casino was covered as the kiosk, what was used that the money can transfer to the legal casino legally, and the bookkeepers could mark those incomings in the legal bookkeeping. Here I must say, that the role of the Spilotro brothers was to work as the frontmen for the real actors of that dirty business, what was covered as the casino business. In fact, there were two "banks" where the organized crime washed the money, and in the "dark side of the force" the money from the drug dealers and other "street criminals" is changed to the form, what looks better.

And in that interface, the mafia would always have problems, because in this layer the white-collar crime is in touch with "dirty crime", which is the risk for the mafia. The thing is that the would face the street gangs in this layer, and that is the risk of those men, or what would you think about the lawyers, who are sitting in every photo at the next of some rap-artist looking guys. Of course, they can tell people, that they are fans of rap music, but there is one problem. That would not be seen very good in the eyes of the judges, especially if those rap-artists are showing the MAC-10 sub-machine guns in those photographs.

The kiosk with millions of dollars of revenue

That thing was made by using the sells of that kiosk as the cover for bringing money to the legal casino. The thing, what made FBI interest about this case, was that the gift shop, what was at the lobby of the hotel had revenue of about six million dollars per month, and this made those policemen suspicious that there was something, what the owners of that kiosk wanted to tell about their business. There is one thing, what made the Cold War so profitable for the mafia, and that is that those members of the organized crime could go in the money changing kiosk in the Eastern block and then change money to the eastern value and after that, they changed it back to western value.

The case is very well documented, and that gives really good sources, which are found on the Internet, and here I must say, that some of those texts, what is written by this case, are things that are not meant read for the people, who have ADHD. Here I'm trying to tell that they are a little bit mixed, and there was one detail in that case, why I'm writing about it.

And that thing is that there is seen one bad thing, what is common in the members of the organized crime and every other criminal organization. That thing is when some of those persons trying to live a normal life, that attempt must be destroyed immediately.

Here I'm talking about Michael Spilotro's attempt to make a career as the "B-movie actor", and I think that maybe the mafia or his brother torpedoed his career. The reason might be that those persons had relationships for one of the Americas oldest criminal organizations, and that organization couldn't let that man make a legal career.

Burglaries uncovered the secret

So, what is the "Interesting thing", what I mentioned earlier? That thing is that the persons, who were working for organized crime as the money washers made burglaries. That kind of things was caused that the police and FBI were interested in the case of Spilotro, and when they were arrested because of those burglaries, those men just ran in the door of the biggest mafia-boss of Chicago. That caused the FBI to made a search to the office and home of that mafia boss, and the Spilotro brothers were killed by using the baseball bats.

When we are thinking about money laundering, in this case, the Casino was used as the bank, where the organized crime changed the money, what was collected from the drug dealers and other criminals to the "legal money". That means those paper money, where are marks of the cocaine use or blood are changed to the clean money, and that means that those money can take to the legal bank. But in this case, the "Spilotro brothers" and their friends were just the front men for the mafia, who used their kiosk for bringing money to the legal casino. And the thing is, that the interesting thing was, that the men who worked for money laundering made the burglaries opened one of the biggest cases against organized crime in American history.

Computer researchers published a new algorithm that revolutionizes web management.

The new database structures require new and powerful tools to manage databases in non-centralized solutions. The new data structures can be ...
