Mark Zuckerberg: Immigrants are the key to a knowledge economy - The Washington Post


Mark Zuckerberg is founder and chief executive of Facebook and co-founder ofFwd.us.
Earlier this year I started teaching a class on entrepreneurship at an after-school program in my community. The middle-school students put together business plans, made their products and even got an opportunity to sell them.
One day I asked my students what they thought about going to college. One of my top aspiring entrepreneurs told me he wasn’t sure that he’d be able to go to college because he’s undocumented. His family is from Mexico, and they moved here when he was a baby. Many students in my community are in the same situation; they moved to the United States so early in their lives that they have no memories of living anywhere else.

North Korea behind March cyberattack, says South Korea | Security & Privacy - CNET News

North Korea behind March cyberattack, says South Korea | Security & Privacy - CNET News: "South Korea has accused North Korea of launching a recent cyberattack that hit tens of thousands of PCs. A spokesman for South Korea's Internet agency said today that six computers in North Korea were identified as the source of the attack, according to The Guardian. Those computers used more than 1,000 IP addresses from across the world to infect 48,000 PCs and servers at South Korean banks and broadcasting stations. The spokesman told the Associated Press that the attack mimicked past hacking attempts by North Korea and pointed the finger at an espionage agency run by the military. The attack also seemed to have been in the planning stage for around eight months. 'We saw evidence that the attack was extremely carefully prepared,' the spokesman said at a news briefing today."
