They like me
October 03, 2005
Optimize magazine surveyed some 1,100 CIOs and other IT professionals for its annual Power Issue. As it happens, they picked me as one of the top 5 "emerging thinkers" on information technology. I kind of feel like Sally Field when she got that Oscar.

As an emerging thinker (congratulations), what do you think of the trusted computing group's work (www.trustedcomputinggroup.org)? Can it make a dent in the whole security boondoggle we seem to be drowning in? Software alone doesn't seem to cut it.
