Porter five forces covers only the industry analysis, it is not a tool for the company analysis. For example it can tell that airline industry is an unattractive industry but within the airline industry we have Southwest or Singapore Airlines which are doing good and attractive but the same can not be analyzed using Porters five forces.

Why is Microsoft Not Blocking Bad Programs from installing?

http://windowsitpro.com/security/microsoft-clarifies-commitment-antimalware-security

I doubt Microsofts commitment. I clean so many Windows machines with 3rd party tools that Ms could buy and build in to protect the OS. The fact the malware, adware, search redirectors, trojans and root kits
got installed into the OS because Windows does not check any black lists or do any heuristics before installing shows a level of sloppiness that is not ok and not professional. Everything he was infected with was well known to Google and the OS could have blocked with a whitelist web service.

They have had a few decades to master protecting consumers and obviously they do not take it seriously.

http://bit.ly/intermediate-python-projects .

So here's a question for people who remember coming up from beginner: as you moved from exercises like those in Learn Python the Hard Way, up to your own self-guided work on small projects, what project were you working on that made you feel independent and skilled? What program first felt like your own work rather than an exercise the teacher had assigned?

I don't want anything too large, but big enough that there's room for design, and multiple approaches, etc.
