Reports that the Twitter account of Steve Wozniak – the co-founder of Apple – has been hacked may sound amusing, but the potential for disaster when a high-profile Twitter user's account is hacked is significant, says Avecto, the Windows privilege management specialist.
The 9th of September 2011 saw a power outage in the US affecting 5 million people in the area of Southern California - the root cause analysis of which is said to have been one single employee switching out a piece of problematic equipment.

A poem marking the 10th Anniversary of 9/11
And the tears flow again
Gushing down my cheeks
Like the Meribah waters
And the tears flow again
Cascading down my cheeks
Like the falling waters of Victoria
Flowing down intractably and inconsolably
And the tears flow again
Bringing back that sad memory
The enemy increaseth every day;
We, at the height, are ready to decline.
There is a tide in the affairs of men
Which taken at the flood leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries
On such a full sea are we now afloat,
An if we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.
- William Shakespeare, in Julius Caesar
