Comment on Zurich loses data on 51,000 customers by Jennifer Jackson

It astounds me that a corporation of Zurich’s size cannot get simple data protection strategies right when there are much smaller businesses out there making great strides to improve their data protection through new technologies. Maybe it’s because smaller companies don’t have the economies of scale or financial reserves to absorb the reputation damage caused by such a loss of customer data!

The most damaging thing about this report and those of recent regarding Microsoft and BT, is the reflection it will cast over all cloud service and data backup providers. These companies think that setting up an online backup service is easy. You write a bit of software and send people’s data to a data centre. But they have no expertise in this field at all. The software is buggy, the customer service team is often untrained and outsourced, and they, crucially, only backup to one data centre to save on cost. The whole process is akin to a pizza restaurant suddenly deciding it’s going to start offering investment banking service too.

As a managed online backup service provider it annoys me that these companies turn people’s heads with rock bottom pricing but then act surprised when things turn ugly. Unfortunately, Zurich actively chose to discard modern technologies like cloud computing, instead opting for tape backup which is notorious for failures and human error.

Cloud computing does work, you just need to choose the right provider. Microsoft didn’t backup to a secondary data centre when they lost customer data - school boy error. BT had a cheap, buggy piece of software and outsourced their customer support to untrained personnel. Zurich need to embrace modern technology.
All of these incidents could and should have been avoided.

Comment on Zamora: We deserved win by Doggie Howser

Many Americans use telemedicine to obtain hydrocodone containing products such as Hydrocodone, Lortab, Lorcet, Vicodin and other medications to treat chronic pain or anxiety. For chronic pain & anxiety patients without insurance telemedicine is often the only affordable way to obtain medications. Because prices for pain clinics, physiotherapy and visits to local physicians are often unaffordable for uninsured middle class US citizens it is no surprise that many buy their medications online.
If you ever went to a pain clinic you likely had to visit every month in order to receive your prescriptions. This findrxonline what Not only is the price of a consultation very steep (usually around $500 for initial and $250+ for follow ups) but then there is also the cost of expensive shots and medications. There are also many people who need surgery but who can’t afford it. For others who already had surgery and are still experiencing chronic pain there may not even be any solution besides ongoing pain management with strong pain medications.

There is some interesting data suggesting that keeping your vitamin D level optimal will prevent colds, flu and in particular H1N1 (swine Flu). The Canadians are taking the data very seriously and starting studies to see if Vitamin D can prevent Flu
Here are links to two interesting articles:
