Isn’t it Ironic? Mac OS X Virus arrives
A sesimic shift in the PC word has just happened: A Mac OS X virus is here, coming in the form of a Java script off of social media. The irony? as I was removing a virus off a “real” PC this morning, my client indicated they might buy a Mac, so they...
LimeWire is Dead…
Thankfully. I know a lot of people liked it, as they could avoid, not only paying retail for music and movies, but not pay anything at all….until some of them had to call me, because their computers were so zapped by malware/spyware/scareware/ransomware from embedded “payloads.” In one case it wasn’t pretty at all, with...
We Infect Our Computers Ourselves
Didn’t bookmark it, but a few weeks back, I saw an article that said greater than 50% of computer infections were no user imposed. What does that mean exactly? It means the people who write and manage software are doing a pretty good job of staying ahead of the hacker crowd, but,we the users,...
I’m a sucker for Beta versions…this time: Internet Explorer 9!
Today Internet Explorer 9, in beta test format, hit the web for download. You can get it here. Support for the next version of HyperText Markup Language 5 (HTML5).

Is Your eMail Connecting you to Your Brand?
Question: What is the domain of your email you hand out for business? Another: Is it the same as your website? One more: If not, why not? var flashvars = {};flashvars.height=260;flashvars.width=320;flashvars.file="rtmp://fmedia.attainresponse.com/video";flashvars.image="http://apps.attainresponse.com/tmb_wm/ccvideo@comf5-com/1283992186121.jpg";flashvars.id="ccvideo@comf5-com/1283992186121";flashvars.autostart="false";flashvars.shownavigation=true;flashvars.repeat=false;flashvars.allowFullScreen=true;var params = {};params.allowFullScreen=true;var attributes = {};swfobject.embedSWF("http://apps.attainresponse.com/MediaF5/mediaplayer.swf", "mediaContent1283992422551", "320", "260", "7.0.61", "http://apps.attainresponse.com/MediaF5/expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes); Don’t risk leaving your contacts out in the cold…actually, leaving...
They show up at the most vulnerable spots…
The "bad guys" on the Internet have long had a habit of finding the biggest security holes with the greatest potential impact. That's one reason why the Apple computer line has remained effectively virus free (I caught at least one in the early Mac...
FireFox 4.0 beta ia out!
I enjoy living in the beta world of software. I have rarely come across really bad betas, and I get to know what’s coming “our” way before other begin using it. Today I installed FireFox 4.0 (beta), meaning the released for testing by people outside of the development place in order to get feedback. I’m...
WordPress Marches on!
Yesterday was the day that the final release version of WordPress 3.0 made it’s way into the hands of those who wait for “final releases.” Recently, one of the people who does a lot of lectures on Social Media wandered off the tracks long enough to say he wasn’t a web designer, but people should...
