I had been expecting the news. I wasn’t sure if it would be this year or next or maybe even a few more years after that. But when Steve Jobs stepped down as CEO, I knew his time was drawing to a close. I expected that when he passed on, the world would mourn. I [...]

When we recently detected suspicious activity in a small percentage of our customer accounts, we took aggressive measures to stop that activity and prevent future attempts.

I’ve been attending the TED conferences for almost a decade. It’s one of my favorite things to do. The TED speakers do a great job of opening your mind and shifting your thinking.
