Hello, Rob, I'd like to thank you for this discussion once again. Will my students find there ( http://fedcba.ning.com/forum/topics/security-safety-engineering ) more movies about Security & Safety Engineering profession than we find here movies a...
After all the discussion of this earlier in the year, I finally actually watched this film on DVD. I found it very entertaining, with just enough "fact" to spice it considerably. The two companies primarily engaged in the drama, for example, are b...
Hi Tadeusz,
I think an interesting spin to put in front of students would be to show them unethical methods of gathering information, and challenge them to come up with legal and ethical alternatives.
For example, if you showed "Wall Street" wit...
Heard a funny one the other day that I hadn't heard before. For somebody who is making a mountain out of a molehill, or obsessing on some trivial battle:
"Is this really the hill you want to die on??"
Cheers.. Rob
Hi everyone,
Thanks for all the great posts. When I tossed this one out there on a Friday night, I figured it would have a lifespan of the weekend at best. Now the worst part: I never did get to see the movie myself!! It must have bombed so badly...
Nope, wasn't a great movie, yep, it dragged in spots, but you know what? I had a great time. It was just fun, and it kept me guessing, I'd call it worthy of light summer fare. Me, I wanted to cast the audience I watched this with with all of you g...

Tristan Sternson said… - Hi Rob,
As the lone Australia SCIP attendee in Chicago this year I am presenting some key interest I picked up at the SCIP conference in back to a few SCIP members in Australia next Tuesday and am looking to use a few slides from some presentation of interest. I was hoping to use a few of your slides from you presentation on "Online Social Networking and the 2 CI's" - basically the slides on Facebook, Twitter, LikedIn (not the detailed dive) and Ning. I found it really interesting and I think other down here in Oz will as well. Of course I will reference you on each slide. Let me know if this is ok with you?
Thanks,
Tristan

Marie-Luce Muller said… - Dear Rob, very good to get your mail and thank you for that. Just wondering what a Canadian (if indeed you are one) is doing studying at Unisa? And do you find it worth your while? Have you visited here? I always over qualify my country or rather over contextualise. It's great in terms of nature, space and climate. Great for starting up business, filled with incredible opportunities and a business environment that in comparison to many other more developed economies, is easy to do business in. Not so overregulated as in so many EU and other countries. Being a fledgling democracy it is a rather schiz type of environment. Lots of racial and class sorting out to do in this transforming society. We're very fast to criticise and point fingers and cast our eyes upward in exasperation but it sure is a life that keeps us 'cutting edge,' having to innovate to prosper, the need to plan all the time and never being sure about anything. The only thing that I really think 'about this I need to hold my breath' is the ecomic policy going into the future. It's a lengthy subject so suffice to say at this point, there are many citizens that have their luggage packed for ostensibly better shores. Tell me a little about yourself?
O yes, IBIS is 'interesting.' Busy with so many CI things, very small but every day is filled with new things.

Hi, Vivek, you mean Glomarization [the terms "Glomar response," and "Glomarization" are used to describe an agency's response when they can neither confirm nor deny whether records exist ( http://www.fas.org/irp/program/collect/jennifer.htm )], do...
As far as I know all companies always use 5 Force Analysis.
Now it depends on how effective is the OODA loop
If they do not vote by Caste, then they would vote by their Religious Ideology or Political Ideology or Individual Ideology.
Catch 22 situation.
Reminds me of Glomerization.
Glomer response at a time when companies represent countries in the Race for Economic Supremany of Nations.

China CI brings together all those using or delivering competitive and market intelligence in China as well as those interested from around the world.
Thanks for sending me the link, Arik. Looks interesting, and I am glad to see you got Gabriel Andebjork with you. I am sure if Per Jenster had been at home in Shanghai right now he would have linked to come.
Take care,

Hi Arik,
Thanks for the update. I am interest to learn your perspective of the CI industry in China, as compared to the North America? And which industry is relatively more advanced in the CI development?
Thanks,

We are working on replacing the free demo with a free 30-day trial from the new year probably, so when we get that done feel free to give it a go.
