Computerized chips add cost to car keys The St. Petersburg Times Share
As the little computer inside your car key becomes more sophisticated, buying a spare is a good way to save money in case your key goes missing. Newer cars won't start unless they read a signal from the key, making it difficult for thieves to hot-wire and steal your ride. But those keys also can be expensive. Normally you get two sets of keys with a new car. Older vehicles, mostly before the mid to late 1990s, came with simple metal keys that you could duplicate at the local hardware store for a few bucks. After that, automakers began making the keys bigger and installing computer chips. Keys had a separate fob, that dangling plastic device, to unlock doors or the trunk. But more automakers are starting to combine the fob and the key, putting the unlock buttons on the plastic part of the key. And as the keys get more complex to stay ahead of crooks, they are becoming more expensive to lose. More Protecting financial organisations from emerging security risks with integrated solutions Source Security Share
Globalisation, increasingly sophisticated criminals and easy access to new technologies have led to a major increase in the number of threats to banks and financial organisations.

Financial organisations need to have strict control over who has access to data, and be able to account for every transaction, while protecting their staff and customers.

More Survey: More unemployed workers weigh starting a business USA Today Share
Frustrated job seekers have a new strategy. If you can't find work, create your own. A new CareerBuilder survey shows that one-fourth of workers laid off in the past six months are considering starting a business instead of finding a new job. And many are leaning toward an eclectic mix of professions: bakeries, game board design, cleaning, computer services and e-commerce. The survey of more than 4,400 workers, conducted in June, also revealed that 96% of those who started their own small business in the last year have another job in addition to that business. More Small business owners take precautions against power outages The Wall Street Journal Share
Power outages are a common hindrance year-round, but especially in summer when excessive use of air conditioners strain electrical systems. Despite the potential damage these can cause businesses—from data and inventory losses to halted productivity and unfavorable working conditions—experts on emergency preparedness say many small companies avoid taking proactive measures.
