The Tipping Point
   by Malcolm Gladwell

The Tipping Point is that magical moment when an idea, trend, or social behaviour crosses a threshhold, tips, and spreads like wildfire. Just as a sick individual in a crowded store can start can epidemic of the flu, so too can a small but precisely targeted push cause a fashion trend or the popularity of a new restaurant to take off overnightor crime or drug use to taper off. Gladwell has explored this theory to great acclaim in several articles in The New Yorker. Here, he shows how very minor adjustments in products and ideas can make them more likely to become hugely popular. He reveals how east it is to cause group behaviour to tip in a desirable direction by making small changes in our immediate environment. The Tipping Point contains a profoundly hopeful idea that people will embrace for its sense and simplicity: one imaginative person, applying a well-placed lever, can move the world. Examples are recognizable: in the New York subways, removing graffiti caused a dramatic reduction in crime; a specific hip group of teenagers wore Hush Puppies and suddenly sparked a national craze. This is a book that should be read by everyone in business, politics, marketing, advertising, and anyone interested in trends, fashion, fads, policy making, and human behaviour. In other words, all of us.

Tip of the Month

Malicious cyber thieves might be scaring you into buying and downloading software that may harm your computer.

Security firm McAfee has published a report early in the year showing that up to a million people worldwide fall victim to so-called "scareware" each year. Scareware, or rogueware, is software that poses as legitimate security software but in reality are dupes to steal credit card information from users, or even worse are Trojan Horses to spread malware. Scareware is distributed primarily through the Internet via malicious websites that pop out windows that fool users into thinking their system may be infected. Users who click on the popup windows are redirected to a website which encourages them to buy fake security software online.

So I think that it is safe to say that the iPad has re-energized the tablet pc market.  But before you go out and buy an iPad, there are other tablet PC's on the market now and more to be released in 2011.  Google has a few Android tablets and more to come in 2011.  Blackberry will be releasing the Playbook in 2011, and Cisco will be releasing a tablet in late 2011.  But if you want an iPad the iPad 2 will be out in early 2011.
