Internet Security Threats
May 27th
I just wanted to throw out a couple looming security risks (one which may not be a big deal and one which will definitely be). All surfers should be aware of as many phishing/scamming techniques out there in order to protect themselves. I sincerely hope that none of you are complacent or lax with your surfing as odds are at some point you will be burned. It saddens me to hear people taken in by these and other phishing/scamming techniques when all of it could have been prevented with a little knowledge and the realization that thousands of people out there want nothing less than to hurt you. Idle hands may be the devil’s playground but idle minds are the scammers heaven.

Here’s a VERY short phishing test for you. This is very old-school and not at all indicative of the sophisticated work being done by today’s scammers, but it may do you good to take it anyway. It will give you a short description as to why you missed ones (if you do).
I ask that you learn as much as you can about known phishing/scamming techniques and continue to do so, because only the awareness of a large portion of society will ever make a dent in their bottom-line. An aware surfer is a safer surfer.
Droid Screenshots

I just felt like throwing in some screenshots since I still haven’t had time to do a full review. There will still be a review done at some point (although it is probably pointless now). It’s just been hard to find the time lately. Anyway, root your Android!
iPhone 4
Jan 10th
Just thought I’d throw out the news. I’m sure there’s plenty of other articles out there but I heard from a friend who manages an AT&T store that the newest iteration of the iPhone is on the books for the end of summer. As we all know, release dates get pushed back all the time. But it seems as though, at this point at least, AT&T is planning to have it at the end of summer. I wonder how it’s going to stack up against all these Android phones that are hitting the market. Only time will tell.
Overdue Post
Dec 15th
I know it’s been a long time, but I’ve been extremely busy. I can’t seem to get any help with new, interesting posts so they are just going to have to come when I find time. If anyone out there likes these articles and would like to help out posting interesting things for people to see and possibly comment about, let me know.
