1462 Attack Warning issued by US Officials - "Action Needed Now" 

18 Mar 2026 The US State Department issued an urgent alert warning countries of potential attacks, urging them to diminish Iran’s capabilities due to an elevated risk of attack. The alert emphasises the need for swift action, including the designation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Hezbollah as terrorist organisations. The situation is complex, with multiple groups and interests involved, making security implementation challenging. 

US installations in the Middle East are under threat, with a recent attack on the US embassy in Iraq. Israel is also under attack, with missiles hitting its subway system and cluster munitions causing damage in Tel Aviv. Satellite imagery shows significant damage to an oil depot in Iran from Israeli strikes.  

Key points

Can't grok Gmail HAL - Privacy Trends unfolding

Blame the Daleks : I've never got over the childhood scarring from knowing our sofa was just no match for their death rays! I consider myself fairly well-read, certainly with a vocabulary bigger than England's soccer manager Fabio Capello claims . But thanks to the Daleks I've never read much science fiction so, until today, I'd never heard the word 'grok.' Kim_Cameron   kim cameron   People didn't "get over it".

Check out his  www.IdentityBlog.com It seems that ' grok ' means " to understand so thoroughly that the observer becomes a part of the observed—to merge, blend, intermarry, lose identity in group experience. It means almost everything that we mean by religion, philosophy, and science—and it means as little to us (because of our Earthling assumptions) as color means to a blind man. " @Kim_Cameron is...

CRM Problems

I dug out some depressing numbers from the CRM world: only 30% of companies with a CRM implementation feel that they've had a positive return on their investment. Mostly, the issues are not technical ones (it's not that hard to get the software installed and some superficial training completed). But there are some similarities with many IT projects: Lack of agreed goals and business case "Fail to plan, plan to fail" is the old saw that is daily proved true. I've seen clients invest in new hardware and software for the wrong reasons. (Last year, one IT department wanted to buy new software to secure training for the existing team in an attempt to secure their jobs and enhance their CVs...) Resist the temptation to launch into a new technology implementation without knowing realistically what you expect to get out of it. Difficulties with customization and integration with existing systems "No man is an island..." proves even more true of IT systems. V...

Not Orwell vs Huxley; but Orwell-Huxley

-
Orwell famously provided a disturbing view of the future in 1984 where the state controlled by Big Brother rules by fear through surveillance that removes all privacy, mind-numbing propaganda (' Newspeak ') and censorship to remove independent thought. It's usually seen as a diatribe against Stalinism . Huxley wrote Brave New World depicting a world where science and technology maximize pleasure, and all of life (including sex) is about 24/7 consumption. In his essay on Western society, Amusing Ourselves to Death , Neil Postman argued that Huxley, not Orwell, had been right. Certainly the casual observer of modern Western culture would find it easy to argue that hedonism rules much of our decision making. The utilitarianism that Huxley was writing to battle is still a dominant guide to many in public and private life who seek 'the greatest happiness of the greatest number' and - in the absence of generally accepted moral absolutes - consider that everything ...
