The EU is a key target for cybercrime because of its advanced Internet infrastructure, rates of adoption and increasingly Internet-mediated economies and payment systems. A few weeks ago Europol, EU’s defence against the dark arts, released their rapport (or iOCTA as they call it) on cybercrime. Underneath or some highlights from this illusive rapp...

This piece is especially for those who believe that sustainability looks good in a mission statement but not on a balance sheet. CFS, U.K., which claims to be the world’s most sustainable bank, turned out stellar results in the first half of 2010, when others were still overcoming the crisis blues.

One participant said that this is not of any use as the SME cannot get rid of a part of a person. I protested - rather vehemently for the followin...

Last year, Second Life's user-to-user transactions topped $567 million in real U.S. currency and their users, known as residents, cashed out $55 million in real Second Life earnings.

I am seeking an answer to a question that’s been bothering me – why does banks’ interest in innovation not translate into intent that is as strong as the interest itself?

We have been working some time on opening the lid to a true European Treasure Chest. The lid is migration to structured business messages – and the key – e-invoicing - is held by every enterprise and consumer (or rather human user in employee and private role). As often happens in innovation processes the real value of what can be achieved opens...

From commuters reading their morning papers on their iPads to the latest devices being displayed at the recent Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, tablet computers are certainly hard to miss at the moment.
