The more I have, the more I need. The history of the law of assignments is an interesting illustration of the struggle between commercial needs and the tendency of legal conceptualism.

When asking for help, appeal to people’s self-interest, never to their mercy or gratitude: if you need to turn to an ally for help, do not bother to remind him of your past assistance and good deeds. He will find a way to ignore you. Instead, uncover something in your request, or in your alliance… Read More

Use selective honesty and generosity to disarm your victim: one sincere and honest move will cover over dozens of dishonest ones. Open hearted gestures of honesty and generosity bring down the guard of even the most suspicious people.

Corporate Records: Voice-mail
As electronic discovery matures to meet the ever-changing technology landscape, it is incumbent upon the information security practitioner, forensic investigator, General Counsel, or others responsible for the discovery, acquisition, processing, preservation, and presentation of electronic records to keep swimming or risk drowning.

Social Networks and Social Engineering
I’ve commented occasionally about social networking site and appropriate content posted therein. I’ll share an article I read on a favorite news site.
