五个最好的投资公司(无排名先后):betterment, Vanguard, Fidelity, TD Ameritrade, Bogleheads. 美国人选出来的,以前有说过Vanguard的基金不错。

好多明星的苹果iCloud帐号被黑、私密照片被暴露。黑客使用社会工程学的方法破解明星的帐号,包括猜测密码。如果已知苹果帐号的电子邮件地址,黑客可以使用“遗忘密码”的帮助来取得新的密码,而明星的所谓私人问题通常可以在网上找到,譬如第一只宠物的名字之类的。黑客还可以进一步猜测某人其他邮件或帐号密码,或者对某人的友人实施“钓鱼”的方法来取得更多的帐号。忠告:尽量使用供应商提供的最严格的安全方法;不要在不同的帐号上重复使用相同的密码;秘密问题必须是只有你自己知道而不是大家都找得到答案的问题;确认你要删除的信息肯定被删除了,譬如苹果帐号里的照片流。

五个导致压力的习惯:拖延,日程过于急迫,过虑,缺乏信心,过于完美主义。

10 Career Resolutions for 2006

By Kate Lorenz, CareerBuilder.com Editor
 
It’s that time again. Time to make those New Year’s resolutions in an attempt to regain control over some part of our lives: the part that has gotten away from us in the past year or has been slowly slipping away for a long time. If your career is losing direction, maybe it’s time to make not only personal resolutions, but some professional resolutions too!
Making a resolution about your job or any other aspect of your life is really nothing more than goal setting. Merriam-Webster defines a goal as: “The end toward which effort is directed: AIM.” The secret to success is setting goals that are achievable. They should make you stretch, but with effort they should be within reach.
Workplace/career expert Pamela J. Holland, COO of Brody Communications, LTD in Philadelphia and co-author of “Help! Was That a Career Limiting Move?” weighs in on our list of 10 resolutions for the business set.
1. Brush up on skills.
Take a class or go to a seminar. “It is essential to set learning goals on a regular basis. As the saying goes, ‘If you’re not green and growing, you’re ripe and rotting.'”
2. Learn more about new technology.
“Technology is here to stay. If you’re a novice, shame on you” Holland says. “Communication is essential for business success. Take stock of where you’re the weakest and change that.”
3. Update that résumé.
“Others may disagree with me, but the time it takes to do a résumé well should support doing it only when you truly are planning to find new opportunities outside of — or within — your company.” (In this day and age, change is often unplanned. We still feel it’s a good idea to be prepared.)
4. Learn a foreign language.
This is particularly important if your work puts you in contact on a regular basis with people who speak another language, Holland says. “Spanish in particular is a good choice these days, as there are many areas of the United States where Spanish-speaking populations are dominant.”
5. Clean out old files, e-mails and your Rolodex and automate.
“Cleaning up old files is a great way to revisit priorities and gain perspective on what’s really important. Not only will it give you a fresh start to the year ahead, but if you pay careful attention to what you keep and what you toss it may help you manage your workload more effectively in the future.” When it comes to technology, Holland warns not to succumb to ads touting the newest techno-trend, instead know yourself and choose tools that match your personality.
6. Network with five people a month.
Holland suggests you commit to expanding your knowledge base and understanding of your company or industry in broader ways. Once you’ve identified what you have to learn in those areas, determine the people who will help you realize those goals and meet with them accordingly.
7. Read best-selling business books.
“It’s important to be well-versed on business trends, even if it’s nothing more than to find your way to a healthy debate with others,” Holland says.
8. Find more time for self/family each week.
“More and more effective leaders that I know are looking for a ‘blend’ of family and work life versus a balance of the two. Look for ways to integrate both aspects of your life. Let family join you on a business trip, leave the office early on an afternoon to attend your child’s sporting event, or share family reading time by catching up on that New York Times best seller on business while sitting next to your children or spouse.”
9. Put more money in a 401(k) or savings.
“Saving for retirement is critically important. Simply commit to yourself to take that next pay increase and put in your 401(k) before you ever have the chance to miss it.” Making this part of your career goals will give you peace of mind that you’re building toward a more comfortable retirement.
10. Exercise, eat healthy and find your best way to invigorate.
“Find ways to exercise with your family, and pay attention to what you’re eating. Take time to reflect on what activities invigorate you and commit more time to doing them.”
