Microsoft Is Now On The List
I have been using Outlook Express for years without too much of a problem until today. I recently moved all my files onto a newer computer at work (we won’t call it new as it has been sitting there not being used since it was purchased in 2007, but it is a lot newer than…

Protect Your Kids on the Net
Viruses aren’t the only dangers on the internet these days. If you let your kids use the computer, you not only need to worry about what their seeing and what sites they are visiting, but also online predators and bullies. So what is a parent to do, especially when most parents can’t do much more…

Deadly Fight with PC Virus
A little while back I wound up with a really nasty virus on my computer. I was not only afraid my new laptop would crash and burn on me, but also that my personal information and credit cards were all open to any hacker who wanted them. My PC is protected by anti-virus software that…

Starting a Business: Credit Card Processing
It might seem like one of the scariest parts of starting an online business can be figuring out credit card processing and how to implement that into your online shopping cart. Just the costs alone can be frightening, but it does not need to be that way. Surprisingly online credit card processing is a very…

Phishing Attacks on Facebook and Twitter
Facebook is the new playground for phishers. Why? The social networking site has made things relatively easy for computer criminals. So far, the consequences have been relatively mild — mostly, some annoying emails. But if facebook and other social networking sites don’t get a handle on security issues soon, a serious outbreak could occur. Behind…

People Pets and the Internet
Pets on the interwebs. Search any social network on the internet these days and you will most certainly find a bunch of pet lovers. Search MySpace, facebook or Twitter just a little harder and you will find the pets that belong to those very same pet lovers. Yes, there is a growing number of pets…

Go Trek Yourself Part 2
After making the me as a Vulcan I had to try the others (and I will look for a better picture of myself to do more later). Here I am being the best human possible 🙂

Go Trek Yourself
Cheez-it gives us all a chance to turn ourselves into a Star Trek character online. Why not head on over and go ahead and Trek Yourself too? I started out as the Vulcan, which I liked, but I had to try others.

I Want It Wednesday: Complete Control of MY Facebook Content
Last month (Feb 4th) Facebook changed their terms of service to state that users content would be stored, not unlike email, and, here’s the kicker, that Facebook had rights to your content. So by uploading images, videos, stories etc you were giving Facebook rights to use your content in any way they saw fit. If…

I Hate Browser Incompatibility
It started out earlier today when my IE6 (I haven’t moved to 7 at work yet as I hate it at home so I tried to keep work from being faced with the same idiotic browsing issues I have here at home) when I got this weird error that the site I was working on…

Will Real Levar Burton Please Stand Up
I recently signed up for Twitter after hearing about it for a rather long time from all my techno geek friends. (You’ll see whataslacker’s Tweets over there on the bottom of the right-hand column there.) Basically it is micro blogging at its best. You type a 140-character post, or tweet, and it goes out to…

Klingon Keyboard for the Diehard Klingon Fan
Perhaps if you dress as a Klingon and speak the language at conventions this gadget might be for you. Then again if you are a hunt and peck typist, like myself, you might not want to go there. But if the Klingon dictionary alone is not good enough for you, you’ll want to get yourself…
