I don’t know if we will get to hear additional information on this case but the jury found Sergey Aleynikov of stealing algorithmic computer code on his last day of employment before going to another firm. He did find a way to get the small sized file on the last day of work, which if someone knows...

If you read here at the Medical Quack often enough you have to see that word, “algorithms” stare you in the face every time you visit here and it is there for good reason. My efforts here are to simply acquaint the layman with a bit of what happens behind the scenes on servers on Wall Street and...

One good thing about this senator, Jim Bunning, is the fact that he is retiring and perhaps not soon enough. His big battle was not wanting to add to the deficit, but it’s there anyway for all to work on, so let’s dig a deeper grave here for the unemployed who are also someone’s patient and make...

Here’s a short post that I made back in January of 2008. After having made this post I had an anonymous comment and I thought in light of where we are today with health insurance that perhaps I would bring this one around again. What is interesting in the comment section is that this individual...

Anyone that read this blog often enough should know what an algorithm is by now. Those are the formulas that create all the business intelligence decisions that are made. Wall Street and the Health Insurance business are 2 of the heaviest investors. This brings me back to a few former...

The department created a Data Center Energy Profiler, software to analyze but nobody in the departments used it after a cost of just under 1/2 million to create it, sound familiar, business intelligence software untouched. One hospital though is doing good things in this area. See what Dr...

Well it’s official now, the “Smart People” are technical advisors for Obama. Where did they come from, Google and Microsoft. Craig Mundie is no strange to the blog here with his presentations covered at MIT and other locations and everyone knows Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google too. Click...

I have my own personal reservations, but not because of what the GOP has going on here, but rather related to the understanding of Business Intelligence and the levels this position will require and having some IT knowledge rather than just the old political stuff is needed in a position that is around...

It seems to appear that is nothing is done, we will end up with a national plan of some sort by default. The system we have today keeps getting worse and nobody likes insurance companies for the most part due to their business intelligence practices, and we keep finding more about those as times...

The Medical Quack around the web this week..a couple posts featured, one about the MediSlate Tablet PC for healthcare and a few additional opinion posts related to technology. As everyone knows by now, many healthcare charities were affected by the Madoff Scheme, thus I felt it was appropriate...

This is a bit of history on AIG and how the product division began. Once again, it’s back to the algorithms, it is all about software and formulas to calculate the long complicated formulas, also known as “business intelligence” to the max. In the related reading below though you can see...

How far does all of this go? Now the company wants 306 million returned for tax payments? I find all this very strange indeed and due to the fact that fraud has reigned with their “reserves” issues that date back a few years, how accurate are the returns I wonder? Has one heard the...

I thought perhaps I was the only one out here speaking out on this topic, but not so. I have been referencing individuals with specific IT Technology experience and innovations for the most part, in other words get the person in the position that has actual “hands on” first hand experience and...

This reporter got to the “smart person” here for her interview who did not want to be identified for obvious reasons. Madoff was one of the first innovators of off floor stock trading and I’m sure he hired the best. Interesting though for the Ponzi end of it how they hired the most “non tech...

This writer thinks it’s the Mob, and chances are there could be something along that line, but from a tech standpoint I think we (the rest us that have been at the bad end of this nightmare) didn’t read up and take seriously how running a PC (our lives) were without some anti-virus protection, and were...
