Using Facebook to Catch the Bad Guys

Posted on June 22, 2012

My six-year-old son wants to play Wild West. “I’ll be the outlaw,” he tells me. I make a poster that says, “Wanted: Dead or Alive.” I hang it by a magnet on the refrigerator. “Seriously, Mom? The fridge?” my child says. “A real sheriff would post it on Facebook.” As it turns out, my kindergartener is absolutely right.

Law enforcement tools have evolved significantly over the years from wanted posters and milk cartons to police radios and now social media platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter. Police departments also use social media to find missing children, as well as alert communities about suspicious activities and crimes recently committed in their area. [Read more…]

Posted on June 22, 2012

At first glance, there aren’t many differences between the iPad 2 and the 3rd Generation iPad – same size, same weight, same battery life – but what has changed has changed in a big way!

Retina Display

How to Achieve Total Privacy in the Internet Age

Posted on June 22, 2012

5 Tips for Protecting Your Computer’s Data

Posted on June 12, 2012

It’s not paranoia if they’re really out to get you. One nasty malware program or virus could wipe out your entire operating system. Along with your operating system, your photos, music, files and programs will go up in smoke as well.

In most cases, unless you take precautions before something happens, you won’t be able to recover these files. When it comes to personal computer data, an ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cure. Here are a few essentials to be aware of:

Anti-Virus Software

Use professional software from Norton or McAfee. Not all shareware anti-virus programs are updated as quickly as the “big guns” and they often lack the real time monitoring tools you need for secure web browsing.

It is always good to have at least one additional program like Malwarebytes installed. Malwarebytes has free and full versions and comes highly recommended by many anti-virus experts. Schedule regular scans and updates with all your anti-virus software. [Read more…]
