Katrina kills HP Conference

I already blogged about how HP effectively killed Interex (bankrupt) and the long running HP World (gone forever) here and here.

HP's new conference, The HP Technology Forum, has now been cancelled by Hurricane Katrina. New Orleans is/was a big conference center. I was even there once for a conference and Hurricane Andrew in 1992.

Andrew didn't do too much to New Orleans, but it devastated Homestead Florida. I drove through Homestead MONTHS later on a cool night and survivors were circled around large open fires. It was surreal and looked post apocalyptic.

Conferences being cancelled are no big deal. The grief and loss of life a catastrophe like Andrew, Katrina, and the recent Tsumani bring are. Let's not forget the Tsunami survivors are still suffering and need help to survive, as well the victims of Katrina. They'll be suffering and in need of assistance far after the news coverage ends :(

Most Internet users have been targeted by criminal phishing emails, yet less than one third have any idea what phishing is, and only 3.5% have changed their habits due to the threat of phishing!

Risks include Identity Theft, Credit Card fraud, and more.
