MORE than three years ago my web developer at Refresh Creations wrote an article which I published dealing with the question of formatting a hard drive so that the contents were completely unrecoverable. Whether you plan to sell your computer on at the end of its life, recycle it, give it to charity or even chuck it at the tip, it is imperative that you dispose of any potentially sensitive data on the hard drive.

GOOGLE today revealed plans to put the art world online, allowing virtual visitors to view key pieces from galleries around the world on their computers. More than 30,000 objects from 150 galleries have already been scanned in high resolution for the Google Art Project, which will also cover architecture.

Music on demand in every room in the house was the aim. So I bought yards and yards of speaker cable, wired it up to the audio out connection at the back of the immense stacking system in the living room, and when I wanted music in the bedroom I carried the speakers there. Same with the kitchen, even the bathroom. With doors open, I could even skip tracks and adjust volume with the remote control. It worked, but it wasn't exactly efficient. The advent of the iPod changed all that. Now every room has a speaker dock, instead of lumping around speakers, I simply plug the iPod in wherever I happen to be. But even that's wearing thin. There are better options out there.

Financial misrepresentation has usually been analysed by large-scale empirical research. However, the generality gained from such an approach is at the cost of understanding the rich and complex nature of financial misrepresentation in real organisations. We adopt a case study approach to gain more insight into the incentives, embedded in contracts, which trigger decisions to engage in financial misrepresentation and the underlying elements of discretion in these processes. In particular, we examine whether contractual incentives should be considered as endogenous or exogenous and we take a more integrated and dynamic perspective than is typical. Our findings demonstrate that in order to understand the decision processes of real managers it is necessary to distinguish between negotiable...

Still cluttering your house with CDs or (for music lovers of a certain age) cassette tapes? If so, an MP3 player could set you free. But how do you get 20,000 songs on to a device the size of a cigarette packet and which model best suits your needs? Most people have heard of the iPod, but it's just one of dozens of MP3 players on the market. MP3 stands for MPEG-1 (Motion Picture Experts Group) Layer 3, but all you need to know is that it's simply the most convenient way to carry music around. It works by squeezing (or, to use the technical term, compressing) information in digital audio files, allowing you to fit every CD, cassette and LP you've ever owned into one tiny gadget.

Internet pundits are quick to reassure that online shopping is as safe as ever. However, reality says otherwise. The authors recently reviewed the privacy and security statements of the Top 50 Internet retailers -- as judged by industry Web site InternetRetailer.com. As expected, most (46 out of 50), but interestingly not all of the e-tailers had security and privacy policies that were accessible from the root, or first home page. While the majority of e-tailers took appropriate measures to safeguard customers' privacy, most did not disclose the very thing that jeopardizes consumers' privacy the most, namely, the measures employed to protect information from being stolen, or inappropriately accessed by employees, contractors, and other insiders. Companies have an ethical responsibility ...

Despite the development of dozens of frameworks and techniques for measuring intangible assets, an open question is whether the internal measurement of intangible assets for management purposes is associated with higher economic performance. This paper provides an overview of the statistical evidence on the performance consequences of intangible asset measurement. Although the bulk of these studies provide at least some evidence that intangible asset measurement is associated with higher performance, many are limited by over-reliance on perceptual satisfaction or outcome variables, inadequate controls for contingency factors, simple variables for capturing complex measurement practices, and the lack of data on implementation practices. I conclude by offering suggestions for improving an...

On a quiet Home Counties road in January, a 35-year-old father of three is driving a Skoda between leafy verges. It's an everyday scene. A bend approaches. The car hardly slows, carrying a racing line through the curve and immediately accelerating up a short hill, gathering so much speed that at the crest it takes off , all four wheels leaving the ground before slamming back down, taking another tight corner with a squeal of tyres and disappearing in a cloud of dust. This is no ordinary driver on no ordinary road (this is Millbrook, a private test track in Bedfordshire). But it is an ordinary car - and parked nearby are a Mercedes, a BMW, a Ford, a Vauxhall and a Jaguar, all waiting to be given the same treatment. You wouldn't look twice at them if you were here, and that's the point. D...
