Many businesses believe that if they purchase enough equipment, they can create a secure infrastructure. Firewalls, intrusion detection systems and antivirus programs are just some of the tools available to assist in protecting a network and its data. It is important to keep in mind that no product or combination of products will create a secure organization by itself. Security is a process; there is no tool that you can “set and forget”. All security products are only as secure as the people who configure and maintain them. The purchasing and implementation of security products should be only a percentage of the security budget. The employees tasked with maintaining the security devices should be provided with enough time, training, and equipment to properly support the products. Unfortunately, in many organizations security activities are less important than support activities. Highly skilled security professionals are often tasked with help-desk projects such as resetting forgotten passwords, fixing jammed printers, and setting up new employee workstations. For most organizations, the cost of creating a strong security posture is seen as a necessary evil, similar to purchasing insurance. Organizations don’t want to spend the money on it, but the risks of not making the purchase outweigh the costs. Because of this attitude, it is extremely challenging to create a secure organization. The attitude is enforced because requests for security tools are often supported by documents providing the average cost of a security incident instead of showing more concrete benefits of a strong security posture. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that IT professionals speak a different language than management. IT professionals are generally focused on technology. Management is focused on revenue. Concepts such as profitability, asset depreciation, return on investment, and total cost of ownership are the mainstays of management. These are alien concepts to most IT professionals.

What makes determining the causes of project failure so tough are all of the variables involved. Companies, teams, and projects have different sets of requirements and environmental factors that can influence outcome. Small and seemingly harmless circumstances can be like a "snowball" and bring the whole project to a standstill. "Project failure", however, is not synonymous with "project death". There are varying degrees of failure. The most extreme case, of course, is total project cancellation, and perhaps a few broken windows and bruised egos. But a project can also be considered a failure if it deviates too far from original specifications, doesn't meet key user requirements, and is late or over budget. The list of reasons for project failure is a long one, but we can conclude that the main causes are: setting an overly ambitious project scope, absence of project methodology, lack of support from senior management and poor interpersonal skills.

According a recent research, the Americans devote 22,7% of the time they spend on the Internet on social networking sites and blogs. A year ago, this number it was lower than 16%. Driving this trend is the social networking Facebook, which recently celebrated reaching half a billion users worldwide. It claimed an 85% share of social networking use; MySpace came in a distant second with a 5% share; and Twitter with just 1%. For the first time, games beat out e-mail as the No. 2 online time killer, accounting for 10% of time spent. The research found that half of all Americans online spend time playing games like online-gaming Zynga’s explosively popular FarmVille. It was unclear if time spent playing games like FarmVille on Facebook significantly influenced how much time people spend on Facebook. It’s not that people are not e-mailing or using instant messaging. They are engaged in those activities on services such as Facebook. And they are still heavily involved in those activities while online. E-mail was the third most popular activity at 8%, and instant messaging came in fifth at 4%. The other activity on the rise is watching videos and movies on YouTube, Hulu and Netflix, which jumped 12% to account for nearly 4% of all time spent online.

Analise as afirmativas a seguir e assinale a alternativa correta, de acordo com o texto:
I. Os sites de redes sociais e blogs são responsáveis por 22,7% do tempo que os americanos passam na Internet.

There has never been a technological invention that has caught on as rapidly as the cellular phone, global sales of which have risen from 6 million in 1991 to more than a billion units a year now. The total number of global cell phone users exceeded the number of non-users for the first time in history in 2008. (Of course, these statistics distort the real picture, since many people in the more affluent countries own more than one phone while there are still countries in the world where cell phone ownership is near zero.)
Innovation in cell phones has accelerated so much that it is often difficult for consumers to keep up with the new possibilities they provide. Phones are constantly incorporating other products like cameras, radios, MP3 players, GPS navigation systems, portable flash memory drives, even televisions.
There is now a massive range of different products that previously might have been bought separately that can now be part of a cell phone.
Cellular phones have radically transformed our lives. They have reshaped the way we communicate with one another, they have generated new forms of language, they have become fashion accessories, and they have given us the freedom to do what we want, where we want. In a world where mobile internet access is no longer a matter of science fiction, we can have any information at our finger tips any hour of any day, and we no longer have to feel cut off when we leave the safety of our homes or offices.
Obviously, the rich have been quicker to by cell phones than the poor. But this is true for any consumer product. Cell phone take-up among the poor has actually been far more widespread than that of previous innovations, like color TV, computers, or internet access. As the prices of cellular phones continue to fall and their capabilities continue to expand, they might end up being more successful in bridging the gap between the upper and the lower social classes than relatively expensive computers.
Cell phones have also some negative associations. Just consider all those road accidents waiting to happen as drivers hold a cell phone in one hand, and drive with the other hand. Cell phone thefts now also make up nearly a third of all street robberies in some large urban areas. Some medical research shows cell phone users are more than twice as likely to develop tumors in those parts of the brain nearer their phone ear, although, as of yet, researchers have been unable to find conclusive evidence for any connection with phone usage.
Overall, cell phones have brought more advantages than drawbacks to our lives. As with any invention, we just have to take the bad with the good, and enjoy the benefits they have to offer.

We came to see you twice when they brought you to San Antonio, my mother and my sister Yolanda and two of my aunts, Tía Enedina and my Tía Perla, and we drove all the way from Beeville just to visit you and make our requests.
I don’t know what my Tía Enedina asked for, she’s always so secretive, but probably it had to do with her son Beto who doesn’t do anything but hang around the house and get into trouble. And my Tía Perla no doubt complained about her ladies’ problems–her ovaries that itch, her tangled fallopians, her uterus that makes her seasick with all its flipping and flopping. And Mami who said she only came along for the ride, lit three candles so you would bless us all and sweep jealousy and bitterness from our hearts because that’s what she says every day and every night. And my sister Yoli asked that you help her lose weight because I don’t want to wind up like Tía Perla, embroidering altar cloths and dressing saints.
But that was a year ago, Virgencita, and since then my cousin Beto was fined for killing the neighbor’s rooster with a flying Big Red bottle, and my Tía Perla is convinced her uterus has fallen because when she walks something inside her rattles like a maraca, and my mother and my aunts are arguing and yelling at each other same as always. And my stupid sister Yoli is still sending away for even stupider products like the Grasa Fantástica, guaranteed to burn away fat – It really works, Tere, just rub some on while you’re watching TV – only she’s fatter than ever and just as sad.
What I realize is that we all made the trip to San Antonio to ask something of you, Virgencita, we all needed you to listen to us. And of all of us, my mama and sister Yoli, and my aunts Enedina and Perla, of all of us, you granted me my petition and sent, just like I asked, a guy who would love only me because I was tired of looking at girls younger than me walking along the street or riding in cars or standing in front of the school with a guy’s arm hooked around their neck.
So what is it I’m asking for? Please, Virgencita. Lift this heavy cross from my shoulders and leave me like I was before, wind on my neck, my arms swinging free, and no one telling me how I ought to be.

A world of connections

To sceptics all this talk of twittering, yammering and chattering smacks of another internet bubble in the making. They argue that even a huge social network such as Facebook will struggle to make money because fickle networkers will not stay in one place for long, pointing to the example of MySpace, which was once all the rage but has now become a shadow of its former self. Last year the site, which is owned by News Corp, installed a new boss and fi red 45% of its staff as part of a plan to revive its fortunes.
Within companies there is plenty of doubt about the benefits of online social networking in the office. A survey of 1,400 chief information officers conducted last year by Robert Half Technology, a recruitment firm, found that only one-tenth of them gave employees full access to such networks during the day, and that many were blocking Facebook and Twitter altogether. The executives’ biggest concern was that social networking would lead to social notworking, with employees using the sites to chat with friends instead of doing their jobs. Some bosses also fretted that the sites would be used to leak sensitive corporate information.
According to paragraph 2, the benefits of online social networking in the office are
