Budgeting for Brand gTLDs by Jennifer Wolfe

Alternatives for .COM ? (Part 1) by Jean Guillon

There are plenty of new domain names and if .COM never had any real identity or true meaning, it is quite possible that new gTLDs may bring new ideas to those who want to acquire a global identity without focusing on a country, a niche market, a specific industry, a community or just anything which does not cover "the world". I made a list of these new domain names with potential to replace .COM and I believe that the alternatives might be in the list down below.

Complexity as the Enemy of Security

Late last month, hackers allied with the Syrian Electronic Army (SEA) compromised the Web site for the RSA Conference, the world?s largest computer security gathering. The attack, while unremarkable in many ways, illustrates the continued success of phishing attacks that spoof top executives within targeted organizations. It?s also a textbook example of how third-party content providers can be leveraged to break into high-profile Web sites.
