Mobile Carriers Lie About Coverage At least, that’s what’s suspected. Unfortunately, this is slowing down expansion of 4G LTE coverage in rural areas. The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) was in the process of allowing companies to bid on areas where they can expand with federal subsidies to offset the cost of the expansion. These subsidies […]

Quora Data Breach Quora, a popular question and answer forum, notified its users this week that a data breach has exposed 100 million user’s data. An excerpt from the email they distributed:  “On Friday we discovered that some user data was compromised by a third party who gained unauthorized access to our systems. We’re still […]

Autonomous Vehicles Legislation Dovetailing nicely with yesterday’s snippet about a Tesla that allowed a drunk driver to be stopped without incident, we finally see movement in Congress on loosening regulations to allow autonomous vehicles more freedom. It would require submission of crash data from higher level, but not completely autonomous, vehicles, like Tesla’s Autopilot and […]

FBI v Facebook The ACLU has demanded all court records be released regarding a secret backdoor the FBI tried to force Facebook to install in Facebook Messenger. A backdoor allows someone, in this case the government, the ability to peep on the communications of anyone and everyone. Unlike the very public battle the FBI had […]

iTunes Doesn’t Use Encryption Encryption is one of those words that sends non-nerds running but it’s really very simple. Encryption is like an envelope for snail mail. It hides what’s inside and ensures your mail gets to you without being seen by prying eyes. There are different types and methods of encryption. To use our […]

You Already Heard… …about the world’s largest data breach. But, I’d be remiss if I didn’t at least mention, there are now 170 million people who had their names, address, and email addresses stolen. And let’s not forget about the 327 million people who had name, address, phone number, email address, birth date, gender, trip […]

26 Scam Call Centers Shutdown Flexing its international muscles, Microsoft has affected a change for the better in India, by assisting New Delhi police with information leading to the arrest of 63 people and the shuttering of 26 call centers that used scare tactics to get people to pay for unnecessary technical support.

Antitrust, Privacy, and Bias; Oh My! Next Wednesday, Google CEO, Sundar Pichai, will have to answer to the angry mob that is Congress for Google’s transgressions. Congress is still miffed that no one from Google, or parent company, Alphabet, turned up when Facebook and Twitter in September. To add fuel to the political fire, President […]

Don’t Share Photos Publicly Privacy should be a concern of everyone. If you have a Facebook profile, you should restrict the general public’s access to any and all information on it. This article is a mostly harmless example of why you shouldn’t share your children’s pictures publicly on the social media site. Good News for […]

Go Directly to Companies’ Sites for Phone Numbers No, seriously. This isn’t ridiculous, alarmist advice. This is scammers exploiting a vulnerability in the crowd sourced information available on Google Maps. Nefarious individuals are updating contact details of banking institutions on Google Maps, so that legitimate customers call them. It’s brilliantly simple and if it weren’t […]

Redefining the Algorithms that Define Us The source here is an interesting editorial from Psychology Today about Artificial Intelligence and its encroachment on that last bastion of humanity: Creativity. Rather than allowing AI to regurgitate our dystopian fears about a computer controlled future the media should be guiding AI into creating a future of hope […]
