The Security Mentor provides "advice for normal people about computer and information security from Beryllium Sphere(R) LLC." The blog is a client resource and marketing tool for Beryllium Sphere LLC, a computer security consulting company in Redmond, Washington, USA. Fred Wamsley is the owner and chief blogger. His company specializes in serving small businesses, especially the SOHO (small office/home office) market. Fred describes who he is trying to reach with his blog, saying: 'My target reader is someone motivated enough to do online research but unwilling to become a full-fledged nerd. The "computer person by default" at a small business, who becomes the de facto IT department because "s/he knows about those computers", is a perfect example.'

Then they can use the password to loot your account."]

BusinessTVchannel.com is an Internet site where you can go to watch and listen to video on business topics of interest to small business owners. It's like a cross between broadcast TV and the Internet. They offer a morning newscast. They also offer shows on topics such as managing cash flow, how to hire good people, and increasing your sales. The newscast is a crisp 20 minutes, tailored specifically for time-starved business owners. A lot of the extraneous business news applicable to stock market trading, earnings reports, etc. is summarized and filtered, so that you get just what you need to know. The cost is currently $19.95 per month plus tax. You can cancel at any time.
(The site is best viewed in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher with Windows Media Player 7.0 or higher. They highly recommended that you install the latest versions of these programs.)
