As of 2009, NY Times estimated Ubuntu usage alone is at 12 million. Even this number is low because a lot of users dual-boot from a Windows machine and also excludes all the other distributions out there. Choose Linux for your desktop if you are serious about security or don't want buy into the...

Yeah, we got one for our kid also and sit back in amazement at what it can do. iPod Touch is a great little device. Kids of the upcoming generation will be so much more technology savvy than we are right now. They will look back and laugh at the stuff we used to put up with from our computers :).

Macbook is no more secure than a laptop with Windows 7 now and maybe less so I'm afraid (I'm no fan of Windows either). Macbook was the first to be hacked at the most recent Pwn2own contest... At least you should not have a false sense of security that Macs are still immune from security issues...

I feel your pain! I had an hour plus long discussion with Dell yesterday upon restoring a hard drive that crashed and I had a valid image of restored to a second hard drive on the same Dell machine. When I went to login in it popped up a window from Microsoft that my product key from my...

Chrome ftw

I didn't listen to the video but the pictures of this new sighting look exactly like ones in a show I saw awhile back. It happened in a place called Tinley Park in Illinois around 2004 timeframe. They tried to recreate the lights with balloons, flares and pipe and didn't even come close. Based...

If you need to grab an image of your PC before it dies the DriveImage XML program I mentioned can make a low-level "shadow" copy even while the computer is running in case you need to restore anything in the future in the even of disk failure. You would another computer or an external drive...

My suggestion to you is to install a lightweight Linux distro (Bodhi Linux works for me) and run Windows from VirtualBox if you still need it on this box. I just did this with my old 2002 Dell Dimension and it is now running like a new computer. After 8+ years of Windows slowly turning the...

If you have access to a Linux box you can use ssh tunnels combined with either VNC or even better FreeNX server. I've completely replaced all of the LogMeIn enabled computers on my network because you have so much more control over the remote services. Your trading computer can still be running...

One of the best shows ever.

Yeah, it was a circus. Alex seems to have a blind spot with some of his celebrity friends. Charlie was obviously on something during that interview (at least I hope he was otherwise he might be losing it) despite Alex saying he was 100% clean at the start of the interview and he let Nails pump...

Anyone catch the show today? Lenny Dykstra and Charlie Sheen. Epic laughs. Nails was rational and articulate (i know right?) compared to the very bizarre sounding Charlie...

These AJ big events are always anti-climatic. Lindsey is peddling some new book or something they were promoting at the end of the broadcast so that is really the big driver here. Oh well, I still like listening to AJ sometimes, his rant yesterday about Justin "Biebler" was classic Alex...

Hopefully this one will be better than the "huge" announcement that turned out to be Charlie Sheen's fake letter about 9/11 conspiracy. Gotta give Alex credit though, he sure has a talent for the dramatic. <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390"...

Looks like the US Military was interested in online 'Persona Management Software' awhile back. Any of you ever got the feeling on here that you are arguing with a bot sometimes? Maybe you are :). 0001- Online Persona Management Service. 50 User Licenses, 10 Personas per user. Software will...

Search for emails from Aaron to Sandy and vice-versa. Not only is his career now wrecked it is obvious he was not doing to much better at home either. For a guy with an ego the size of Texas he didn't have a lot of 'wins' recently. I'm kinda feeling bad for him now. :( However, it does better...

The anatomy of a hack.. long and technical read but very good if you are interested in security.. http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/02/anonymous-speaks-the-inside-story-of-the-hbgary-hack.ars

Here's a quick summary for the uninitiated of what Anonymous did to this company after Aaron Barr, CEO of HBGary Federal, threatened to sell a list of names to the FBI and was going to expose his research at a talk to the BSIDES conference (didn't happen obv). Anonymous also released his draft...

He should have studied the risk vs reward a little better before stirring up that hornet's nest. Epic story unfolding with many dimensions including leaked emails, plot by BoA and US Chamber uncovered to bring down Wikileaks sanctioned by you know who. Can't wait to see the movie version...

Cremation makes the only economic and moral sense and in some religions, Hindus for example, it is considered sacred. What is the problem? Where else are you going to put billions people after they are all dead?
