It’s taken a little longer than expected for EC Council to go throught the entries and pick a winner, but I’m pleased to announce that the complete Certified Ethical Hacking package goes to Jonathan Carr who commented on my blog post. Jonathan, If you haven’t already you’ll be contacted shortly. Congrats.

But I guess everyone’s a winner here, because I also received word that everyone who emails eric.lopez@eccouncil.org will get a 50% discount. That’s nearly $1500 dollars off the course’s regular price. Not too shabby. So, why are you still here then? Just tell Eric I sent you.

Apparently, there’s a course out there that makes you a Certified Ethical Hacker (or CEH). I always thought that being a hacker was about having an certain attitude about technology. I consider myself a hacker because I own a region-free DVD player. It’s about manipulating technology to suit your needs. But unfortunately, these ‘needs’ are personal, and there are plenty of people out there for whom illegal activities like fraud constitute personal goals.

When the first Eee-PCs were introduced, it was love at first sight for me. I’d been looking for a small, portable device that would let me blog, send email and surf and this seemed to be it. The reason I never got the original 701 was because models with bigger screens were announces even before these 7″ versions actually hit the market. But when I saw the pink 701 on sale last week I couldn’t help getting one for my eldest daughter. It was dirt cheap and she loves it to death.
