I tested them against several anti virus programs, and so far none of them detect it. I believe it... Read Full Story

There is a new website, www.obamathankyou.com that is collecting thank you messages to President Obama. If you would like to thank Barack Obama for anything, you can leave a comment at that site, or just check out what other people are thankful for. With the tough times that are here and more to come, I think it's a nice idea that people can share some positive feedback for once. Obama has already seen plenty of na sayers, let's show him that there are plenty of us who support what h... Read Full Story

It dawned on me that I have never talked about my favorite video player, VLC. One of my ideas for this blog was to share with you, some of the programs I use. VLC has to be one of the programs that gets the most use, on my computer.The VLC Media Player is the only media player you will ever need. When it comes to video formats, it will play; mpeg, divx / xvid, quicktime, h.264 and windows media up to wmv version 9. It will also play earlier versions of real media. It also plays most audio for... Read Full Story

I got a new host and have started 4 new websites last month. This one had become neglected but I will probably revamp this. I'm now using Word Press and love it. Blogger was great to get me started, but having my own host running Word Press is so much better. I believe I can import this into Word Press. Then I'll host it myself.The other sites I started aren't finished yet. One is a personal blog that I just set up so I can keep my family and friends current on what I'm up to.Another one i...

You may have noticed when you go to certain websites, you'll get a signed certificate that is supposed to prove that you are at that actual website. I say supposed to because there was demonstration at the Chaos Computer Congress on how to spoof (fake) a MD5 certificate of authentication.

There has been a warning about thi... Read Full Story

Looks like the music industry has finally figured out suing your customers is bad business. It's not just suing their customers, but the way they went about it. Not only did they sue over 38,000 people for sharing music, they wanted outrageous settlement sums. The RIAA wanted $700 and more, per song that was shared. Some of the settlements they were after had total fines in the six figure range. They also filed tons of John Doe lawsuits. They didn't even know who the people were that ... Read Full Story
