<b>The Geek&rsquo;s Reading List &ndash; Week of May 16<sup>th</sup>
2014</b></p>
<p style="margin-right: 0.75in">Hello, 
</p>
<p style="margin-right: 0.75in">I have been part of the technology
industry for a third of a century now. For 13 years I was an
electronics designer and software developer: I designed early
generation PCs, mobile phones (including cell phones) and a number of
embedded systems which are still in use today. I then became a
sell-side research analyst for the next 20 years, where I was ranked
the #1 tech analyst in Canada for six consecutive years, named one of
the best in the world, and won a number of awards for stock-picking
and estimating.</p>
<p style="margin-right: 0.75in">I started writing the Geek&rsquo;s
Reading List about 10 years ago. In addition to the company specific
research notes I was publishing almost every day, it was a weekly
list of articles I found interesting &ndash; usually provocative,
new, and counter-consensus. The sorts of things I wasn&rsquo;t seeing
being written anywhere else. 
</p>
<p style="margin-right: 0.75in">They were not intended, at the time,
to be taken as investment advice, nor should they today. That being
said, investors need to understand crucial trends and developments in
the industries in which they invest. Therefore, I believe these
comments may actually help investors with a longer time horizon. Not
to mention they might come in handy for consumers, CEOs, IT managers
&hellip; or just about anybody, come to think of it. Technology isn&rsquo;t
just a niche area of interest to geeks these days: it impacts almost
every part of our economy. I guess, in a way, we are all geeks now.
Or at least need to act like it some of the time!</p>
<p style="margin-right: 0.75in">Please feel free to pass this
newsletter on. Of course, if you find any articles you think should
be included please send them on to me. Or feel free to email me to
discuss any of these topics in more depth: the sentence or two I
write before each topic is usually only a fraction of my highly
opinionated views on the subject!</p>

<h1>1) Anti-virus pioneer Alan Solomon thinks anti-virus is dead. He
uses Linux instead</h1>
<p><br><br>
</p>
<p>&ldquo;British anti-virus pioneer Dr Alan Solomon is so convinced
that AV software no longer works that he gave up using it a &ldquo;long
time ago&rdquo; and solved his security worries by moving from
Windows to Linux, the iconic figure has said in a blog.&rdquo;</p>
